Cheers To The Year Of Self Love

Sometimes we don't set aside time for ourselves, but that really needs to change

This is our year, kids. I find it quite amusing how we all make new year resolutions yet can never truly fall through with them. Rather it be losing weight, making new friends, traveling, etc. We tend to get wrapped up in the same routine and situations as we used to the year before.

The calendar may change but we rarely ever do. That needs to change. Sure you're not going to drastically change from who you were a day ago just because it's a new year, but you can change some of your unhealthy habits that you don't love about yourself.

This is the year to change what you don't like about yourself. If you aren't happy with your grades, study more.

If you don't necessarily love your body when you look in the mirror, work hard and make it a body you'll absolutely love.

If you aren't happy with the amount of friends you have, put yourself out there and meet new people.

This is the year to try to be your best self and never stop making yourself happy. It may sound selfish but we are human and have the right to be selfish every once in a while.

If something or someone doesn't make you happy, cut it/them off. You don't need to surround yourself with people that don't have your best intentions. It's time to really make some changes in your life.

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.
