11 Realistic, Day-By-Day Resolutions For 2018

Everybody loves the new years, especially because of the many resolutions that help you have that perfect fresh start. Here are 11 easy New Year's resolutions to actually follow through with this year and can focus on day by day.

1. Drink more water

This first one is pretty simple. Try to drink more water. It’s not only good for you but if you’re trying to lose weight this year, drinking more H2o is the most important. Try to drink as many ounces that are equal to half of your weight. So if you weigh 160 pounds, try to drink 80 ounces of water.

2. Be nice


This is also pretty simple, be nice to people. Go out of your way to be extra friendly to someone. Even if you think you can’t get any nicer, try your best to do four random acts of kindness a day. Try to spread joy in the world.

3. Try new foods


Try to go out of your comfort zone more often in the food realm. Who knows, you might find your new favorite food!

4. Start a habit tracker in a bullet journal


Scientists say that it takes 28 days to make a habit. Why not make more than one using a habit tracker?

5. Workout

The resolution that almost everybody adds to their list. Working out makes you feel good and look good!

6. Put yourself out there

Put yourself out there! Meet new people, make new friends, and why not even explore the world? You won't regret it. You never know what you might experience.

7. Work on being more confident


Confidence is key to everything. How are you going to live your life if you're not confident?It'll be pretty boring if I say so myself.

8. Spend more time with family


Family is important. You may not like them, but after all, family is family.

9. Spend less money


Enough said. More money is the better way to live.

10. Go out of your comfort zone.


Try to go out of your comfort zone. Go to clubs if you don't like people. Try to meet as many new people as you can. It can be hard to do this, but you won't regret it in the long run.

11. Stop procrastinating


This is pretty simple. Stop procrastinating. We all like to push off huge assignments, but do you know how good it feels to have a completed assignment two days before it's due?

New Years resolutions are tough. Some follow through with them, some don't. I hope after reading this that you have found one resolution that you will be able to follow through with.

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.
