Cheers To A New Year

Make this year YOUR year.

Cheers To A New Year

2017 is almost here. Instead of thinking of it as just a new year, think of it as a new door opening up so many fresh opportunities to you. Use this transition as a way to fix what you do not like in your life and better yourself to get where you want to be.

When thinking of your new year’s resolutions, do not just put the cliché things on it like, "eat right," and "exercise more," but really think about the things you want to accomplish and know you will follow through with. Another thing to keep in mind is to not set your goals too high, such as within the next year you want to be a millionaire because that will probably not happen.

Be realistic, but push yourself to do more than you already are.

Go after the person that you think is, “out of your league,” and apply for that internship that you think you will, “never get.” You never know unless you try, and the start of a new year is the perfect time to do it.

This is also a great time to stop dwelling on the past. No matter what happened in the last year, or who hurt you along the way, lamenting over it will only continue to bring you down the following year.

Do not have regrets either. This can make each year worse as it goes along. Never regret something because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted, even if it was wrong. You go through many different stages in your life, and some go better than others. Make 2017 the stage that turns your life around for the better.

Keep your physical health in check, but also focus on your mental state of mind. That can make more of a difference than you know. Thinking positive will help you in your job, school, and overall create a better environment for you to live in.

The way you start off the year will determine how the rest of it goes, so come into 2017 full force ready to make this year your 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.
