In This Article:

Every year, we seem to set absurdly unattainable resolutions for ourselves. And it seems that every year, without fail, we are disappointed by our inability to complete these goals that we set for ourselves. I think the new year is a great time to set goals and try to kickstart personal growth, but I think it is detrimental when goals are too lofty. Here are a few little things to add to your list of resolutions this year, but this time a list that can definitely be accomplished.

Reread your favorite book (or try to find a favorite book)

It's your favorite book for a reason. Rediscover why. There's always more to learn from something that means a lot to you. And if you don't have a favorite book, I highly encourage you finding one.

Go to a movie by yourself 

It might just be me, but something about going to a movie by myself is so relaxing. I can fully detach myself from whatever BS is going on in my life at the time, and for two to three hours submerge myself in someone else's story. Plus, it's important to spend time by yourself. Let's put the kibosh on the negative stigma of going to public places by ourselves in 2019, okay?

Eat less meat 

Had to throw this in here, because I will never stop promoting less meat consumption on behalf of the environment and animals, but seriously, eating vegetarian three times a week is a HUGE step that the Earth will thank you for.

Find a skincare routine that you love

2019 is the year of self care! Take the time to figure out what makes your skin glow, because when you glow on the outside, you start to glow on the inside too. Testing out products and developing a skincare routine that makes you feel beautiful/handsome/awesome is so important.

Go watch the sunset

Grab some snacks, a pal or two, and park your car in the direction of the setting sun. It's a great way to ground yourself, spend some time with friends, or just a really awesome excuse to buy your favorite snack.

Clear your Netflix queue

Our (at least mine) Netflix queue's become so cluttered with things we want to watch, have already watched, or are there for unknown reasons. Watch the things you've always been wanting to watch, clear out the old, and figure out the unknowns.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
