With a new year, comes new year's resolutions. 2020 seems to have an added weight in that it's not only the start of a brand new year, but the beginning of a brand new decade full of new experiences. If your new year's resolution was to live a healthier life this year, here are a few useful tips for living a happier, healthier life.

1. Drink More Water

It can be as simple as replacing a soda a day with a bottle of water a day, but your body will thank you for the added H2O.

2. Make time for friends who lift you up

Happier people tend to be healthier, physically and emotionally. So, set up a few days a month to simply surround yourself with supportive people.

3. Increase Your Vegetable Intake

Vegetables are full of so many wonderful things, yet the life of a college student is often voided of these key foods. A can of green beans is relatively cheap though, and you need the iron, ladies.

4. Find a form of exercise that you enjoy

It may be hard to start out, but once you find your niche, exercising can be a wonderful stress-reliever and an absolutely wonderful way to strengthen your body.

5. Take quiet time for yourself each day

Whether it's just five minutes standing in the shower or an hour of reading your favorite book, give yourself the time to just enjoy your independence and the beauty of just being alone.

6. Indulge your hobby

Whatever you love to do, do it often. Indulge your creativity and let it bloom. Mental health can be fostered by strengthening your mind.

7. Be kinder to yourself

Learn to embrace the parts of yourself you do not love and be kinder to yourself.

8. Delete those phone numbers

Delete the numbers of those toxic people. There's no room for your health alongside people who don't want to see you thrive. You're better than this and you deserve more.

9. Teach yourself a new skill

Whether it's learning to cook, file taxes, a new language, or simply hooking up a wifi router, teach yourself something valuable.

10. Give yourself some credit

Learn to revel in your achievements and give yourself some credit when you do the dang thing!

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.
