When the clock strikes 12 and the ball nears the ground, kisses are shared, and the infamous New Year's resolutions are proposed. Social media pages will be littered with empty promises pledging a resurrection from hungover people worldwide. Will the new year really usher in a new me? Below are some of the common resolutions that will find themselves lost and abandoned by the end of the first month in 2016.

1. Getting into shape.

Whether it's taking more trips to the gym or putting aside some time for a yoga session, your bed will most likely sound like a better idea.

2. DIEting.

Insert veggies here. Portion control may also be a struggle along with the Starbucks trips that will continue to be a thing.

3. Being less judgmental.

You'll try hard to contain your disdain for the North Face-Ugg combos and your local bro with the snapback, but they just make it so easy.

4. Put an end to your unhealthy Netflix addiction.

But the newest season of "House of Cards" is coming out...

5. Drink less.

Your liver would thank you, if you actually followed through.

6. Raise your GPA.

Achievable, but are you willing to put in the work?

7. Volunteer.

Helping others sounds like a great idea. Wait, do I get paid?

8. Ditching your dead-end job.

We all have had that horrible job we can't wait to leave, but we will likely continue to wait tables and ring up customers.


What does it mean now that our resolutions will be discarded? It means another year of your same old self thinking of what you could have been. Hopefully, that will encourage you to hold strong to your resolutions instead of to a box pizza and garlic knots.

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.
