Here's To The Year Of Girls Doing Whatever The Hell They Want To

Because it's about damn time.

Here's To The Year Of Girls Doing Whatever The Hell They Want To

Every year, we make our NY resolutions. However, usually when March rolls around, we start to lose sight of it and fall back into our old ways.

We all do it, it is inevitable.

But there's one New Years resolution that I think the female community, as a whole, has got to start doing. We have got to start doing whatever the hell we want to, and stop relying on other people.

I've heard so many girls say, "yeah I really want to do this but so and so won't like it..." or "yeah I don't know if I'm going to go out tonight because so and so wants me to stay in".

Here is what I say to that.

WHO CARES?

As women, we have to raise a little more hell and make more of a mark on this world. We have to go out with the attitude that we are going to change the world in amazing ways, and that all starts with doing exactly what YOU want to do. There is a time and a place for having a man in your life that somewhat has a say in what you do, and that is when you are married. So until then, we should be doing exactly what we want to do. We should be saying exactly what we want to say.

Stop waiting for that guy who hasn't texted you back for a week to text you. Go out, go meet someone new. Stop waiting. Go live your life. Stop waiting for your ongoing relationship that has been dragged out for forever to end. End it. Stop waiting for approval from everyone else and start doing what you want.

It's about damn time.

This isn't to say that you aren't allowed to be in a relationship, or you're not allowed to fall madly in love. All I'm saying is that we have to focus on what we want. If you want love, great. Go for it. But don't be in an unhappy relationship wishing that you could go out, but being stuck at home instead. Get your girl gang together and go out.

This is the year that we should look back on with happiness and know that we've done exactly what we set out to do. While we should have our sights set on important things like our careers and education, we should also have our sights set on having a good time. Life should never be taken too seriously.

This is the year to be rebellious and free and to live our young years to the fullest. We won't be this free forever, and whether you realize it or not, you are the freest at this moment that you are ever going to be in your life.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
