8 Different Resolutions To Have For 2017

Every New Years we make resolutions that usually make it until the end of January before they are broken. There are tons of other resolutions besides "losing weight, eating better, and watching less TV" that are much easier to stick to.

1. Do 1 Kind Thing Each Day

Whether you pay for someone else's coffee every once in a while or just say a few kind words to a passerby, remember it takes no money to say a kind word, you never know what can change someones life!

2. Donate Each Month To A Charity of Your Choice

Whether it's a dollar a day or 50 cents a day it can make all the difference. Save it up throughout the month and give it to someone or a cause that is truly in need.

3. Find A New Hobby And Stick With It

Broaden your horizons and learn something new, take a painting class or a pottery class. It never hurts to try new things and you may make some great friends along the way.

4. Volunteer X Amount of Times This Year

Get out in your community and make a difference. Whether you go out and volunteer weekly or monthly it makes a difference. The best part is that you can do it alone or with friends and family- make it a group resolution!

5. Take A Class You Wouldn't Normally Take

Learn Spanish or French, or about Mayan Culture. You can never be over-educated!

6. Follow Through With Plans

Everyone gets busy and life definitely gets in the way sometimes, but next time you make plans with your friends and family don't blow them off. Actively try and be there.

7. Travel More

Whether its weekend road trips or a Caribbean getaway- do it, try it, go experience all that life has to offer.

8. Do Something Everyday That Scares You

Whether its any of the things listed above or something completely different. Go out and challenge yourself even if it is cliche.

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.
