15 Things We Should All Aspire To Do This Year

Now that a new year is upon us, we can start fresh. Granted, when people say "New year, new me," I find it tacky and just not realistic. But the new year means a new 12 months, meaning you can have a new list of things to do throughout the year. Here are a few things we should all try doing in the next 365 days.

1. Go to more concerts.

Most people do this anyway, but concerts are important. They're a unique experience, so don't pass up on any. All concerts are worth it.

2. Travel somewhere new.

Get out there. Road trip it. If you're rich, get on a plane.

3. Spontaneous weekend trips.

If your homework load is light and your calendar empty, go somewhere. Anywhere. It'll be memorable.

4. Go on a picnic.

Go to a park on a sunny, spring day and eat lunch with friends. It's adorable.

5. Explore a new city.

There's always that one city we go to for fun, but go to a new one. Go get new food in a new place with some friends. Make a day or a night of it.

6. Volunteer at a charity.

It's humbling and worth it.

7. Pick up a new hobby.

Maybe go to an art class or a cooking class. Perhaps learn how to play a sport.

8. Record your year.

Write down the good things and the bad. You'll be able to remember it and reminisce in years to come.

9. Go stargazing.

Just to turn off your phone and drive to the rural area to see the stars is beautiful. Something about it is truly it's own experience.

10. Camping.

Nature is important too.

11. Get healthy.

We always say we will, but why not finally do it.

12. Visit a museum.

Whether it's a history museum or art, it's a culturing experience we all neglect.

13. Watch the sunrise/sunset.

It's pretty and worth the early wake up call.

14. Change up your look.

It's boring being the same all the time.

15. Do whatever you've been putting off.

Whether it's getting a tattoo or calling up an old friend, do it. You've been wanting to for a reason.

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.
