8 New Year's Resolutions You're Definitely Going to Break

1.When Netflix asks you if you’re still watching, you’ll take that as a hint that it’s time to do something else. 

Let’s be real, you are only 5 episodes away from finishing Parks and Rec, so you will stop after that. Maybe. 

2. You won’t send drunk text messages after 10 p.m. 

Your mind is telling you no, but the whiskey is telling you yes.  

3. You won’t spend all your Dining Dollars before January is over.  

Ha ha ha HA. With all that “free” Starbucks, pizza and Buffalo Phil’s, that $300 will quickly become $0.   

4. You will work out and eat healthier. 

Netflix > Gym. Donuts > Salad. Beer > Water. It’s basic math.   

5. You will spend your (parents') money more wisely. 

But shoes exist. And bar tabs. And Chipotle.  

6. You will stop procrastinating and do your school work ahead of time.

Studying is not as easy as the Elle Woods-Legally Blonde montage makes it look. Plus, Netflix exists. Refer to number one. 

7. You will start waking up earlier and putting effort into what you look like for class. 

Nope. Five extra minutes of sleep is always worth the risk of running into an ex on the quad and looking homeless.

8. You will spend less time on social media and more time having actual face-to-face contact with people.

Yeah, you're still gonna text your roommate who's sitting ten feet away from you and spend half of dinner Snapchatting pictures of your food. 

 Happy New Year!

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.
