New Year's resolutions are always made, mostly never accomplished. Why? Lack of motivation, forgetting about them, or they're too hard. In this article, I will give you ten simple things to do in 2017 that will make you feel better and accomplished.

1. Smile/Laugh more

In 2017, laugh at the stupid pun your co-worker made, smile at a stranger on the street. You will feel happier, and other people will notice it too.

2. Meet new people

Break out of your comfort zone and make at least 2 new friends this 2017.

3. Get a better sleep pattern

Try to go to bed the same time every night to create a healthy sleep schedule. You will feel less tired, and more refreshed.

4. Read more

Reading is a great way to attain more knowledge and it keeps your brain in shape!

5. Pet more dogs

Probably the easiest thing to do on this list.

6. Learn a new recipe

Put down the ramen and frozen pizzas and cook something delicious! Not only did you learn something new, you got a good meal out of it too.

7. Take more photographs

Pictures are a great way to capture memories. Take pictures of your friends, family, significant others, pets anything! You won't regret it when you look back and relive all the memories you made in 2017.

8. Have a Treat Yo Self day

TREAT YO SELF 2017! Because you deserve it.

9. Volunteer!

Volunteering is a great way to make a difference and help you feel good about yourself! Nursing home, animal shelter, soup kitchen anything! Get out there and give back to your community.

10. Drink more water

Drinking more water will improve your health immensely. Your skin will become clearer, your hair healthier and many many more health benefits.

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.

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.
