It's the start of a new year and the start of a new you! Just kidding about the second part, but thank goodness 2016 is over, am I right? As Winter Break comes to an end and we return to the real world, let's take a quick moment to reflect on the final weeks (and losses) of this past year. Here are a few funny things overheard over the break to help you start off your spring semester with a laugh.

1. "They took the Jimmy Neutron Movie off Netflix so my break was ruined pretty quickly."

2. "All these older guys were so much hotter in high school when they didn't know I existed. Now when I match with them on Bumble, it's just creepy."

3. "I waited till January 1 to turn my application in because 2016 was clearly cursed."

4. "Concept for a game show: successfully explaining WestWorld to your mom."

5. "I connected my Bumble to my Spotify and it says my top artist is Hannah Montana. Can't wait to see the flies this attracts."

6. "Both my roommates got boyfriends over Christmas break and all I got was drunk."

7. "I grew my beard out so long that food started getting stuck in it. I didn't go on any dates needless to say."

8. "Did you know Pitbull is paid by Florida to talk about Miami? Is any love true anymore?

9. "'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, the AC was running, cause we live in the South."

10. "How was my love life over break? I was texting a guy and he suddenly said, 'I'll talk to you later. Merry Christmas.' It was the 20th."

11. "What sounds more appealing for New Year's Eve? FOMO at home or getting drenched with champagne while everyone around me makes out?"

12. "I think that after this year we can only go up, but I learned midway through 2016 to not assume things can't get worse."

13. "A girl from my high school that identified as a lesbian up until 2016 got engaged to a guy for Christmas this year. Meanwhile, I got a boyfriend pillow."

14. "Did you picnik that picture? You still use picnik? Picnik still exists?"

15. "If you're worried about not getting a New Year's kiss, just remember that Valentine's Day is only 45 days away and you'll probably be alone for that too."

16. "He kissed me then immediately put dip in his mouth. It was still better than 2016."

17. "I met a guy I liked a lot but he was so much taller than me that he couldn't hear what I was saying half the time."

18. "Two guys gunned for me at midnight. It messed up my Snapchat."

19. "People need to cut it out with the 'this is MY YEAR' crap. You sucked last year, you're going to suck this year too."

20. "Publix had 2017 shot glasses on sale for 99 cents. I bought three because this is going to be my year."

Get out there and kick 2017's butt. You've got this!

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.
