It's almost New Year's Day and you know what that means. It's time for us to make our resolutions, keep them for a month then give up and wait until next year. Here are seven New Year's resolutions people don't follow through with.

1. I will start going to the gym

A week before New Year's this idea sounds good, but then a week or two after New Years, running on the treadmill and doing spin class doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore.


2. I will stop spending money

You can do this! It shouldn't be so hard to stop spending so much money... until you see those cute new shoes you wanted!


3. I will start eating healthier

It shouldn't be that difficult to cut back on all our unhealthy eating and snacking, but that hamburger does look good one bite won't hurt!


4. I will start drinking/ smoking less

Sadly this is a resolution I wish more people would stick with, but not many do.


5. I will spend less time on social media

This resolution is definitely one that I say I will keep but ultimately never do. So many people, including myself, are addicted to social media and no matter what.. we won't give it up.


6. I will be more social

Yes, I much rather be in bed on Pinterest then interacting with a bunch of people I do not like, and I am not sorry about it.


7. I will stop going on Netflix so much

Most people can actually do this resolution for a while until the newest season of Orange is the New Black or Stranger Things comes out.

I am sure most of the world will not keep their resolutions past March, but the ones that do, we applaud you!!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
