Yes, it's that time of year again. It's time to change our calendars from 2016 to 2017. It's that time of year where it takes us 6 months to finally get the hang of writing the correct year on papers. It's that time of year where we get to reflect on how many friends we have lost or made along the way, or even reflect on the way that God brought us through another year. We also can have the opportunity to see how far that we've come as individuals and see how much that we've grown.

I think that it is important to have goals or even a simple bucket list for this upcoming year, because it can allow us to get out of our comfort zones and seek the adventures that this life has in store for us..

Here is my bucket list for 2017:



1. Survive my maid of honor speech for my sister Brooke's wedding in September.

2. Become a pro at stick shift.

3. Change a person's life for the better.

4. Pay forward for someone's food in a drive thru.

5. Fly on an airplane.

6. Stay up for 24 hours straight.

7. Tent camp again like we used to as kids.

8.Visit my grandparents every chance that I get.

9. Road trip with someone I love.

10. Visit a state that I've never been to.

11. Shoot a gun.

12. Attend another Christian concert.

13. Mend an old friendship.

14, Grow closer to Christ,

15. Go horse back riding.

16. Visit a water park.

17.Stop worrying about life and fully trust in God.

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.
