We're a week into the New Year, and I've been pondering over the past few weeks on what my New Years resolutions should be. I've gone back and forth over the fact that I think New Years resolutions are a complete waste of time and that I really wanna try something new for the New Year. So these are a few of my actual resolutions, a few things that have inspired me to be a better me this year. Maybe they can give you a little inspiration for a better you this year.

1. Relax.

Stop worrying about the little things, especially things you can't control. Life is too short to be constantly stressing about things that you can't change. If it won't matter in a year, don't stress about it now.

2. Eat Healthy.

Go for the bowl of fruit instead of the bowl of chips. Stand the 10 extra minutes to wait until you get home to eat instead of going through the drive thru. Order a water instead of a coke. Changing your eating habits can change your mood, your body and your day.

3. Cut Out the People Who Don't Better You as a Person.

People who only call you when they need something from you? Cut them off. If they aren't inspiring you to be a better person? Cut them off. Someone who doesn't make you want to be the best you, and is just always dragging you down, is a person you don't need in your life.

4. Stick to the Gym Routine.

If going to the gym isn't already a part of your daily routine, adding it in can be somewhat of a pain in the ass, literally. If getting in shape is on your agenda for this New Year, stick to it, don't lose sight of your goal because it is achievable.

5. Try a Little Harder.

Give it your all in everything you do, whether its studying for a test or your everyday job. Giving it your all is rewarding in the end.


So this New Year actually make a resolution and stick to it. Kick this years ass, make 2017 the best year yet.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
