10 New Things To Try In The New Year
Brandy Melville

I have seen people talk about how this year was going to be different for them. The reality is that most people have already dropped their New Year's Resolution. Instead of making promises we can't keep to ourselves let's just try new things and see how much better it makes us.

1. Try a new hairstyle.

We all have that hairstyle we wish we could pull of. Go for it. Your hair can always grow back or you can get the color fixed if you don't like it.

2. Read a book.

Take time to relax and enjoy time to read. Taking time to sit during a busy lifestyle is very important.

3. Take a day trip.

Gather your best friends and pick somewhere within 100 miles to take a day trip to. New towns have so much to explore. Also, the car rides are always fun.

4. Start a journal.

This will be so rewarding at the end of the year when you can look back at all that happened. You don't have to write a paragraph. You can write in list form or whatever works for you.

5. Delete social media for a month.

This will change you, haha. The first week will be difficult, but after that it is so rewarding. You learn to live without worrying about what to post or what others are doing. It will free up so much time.

6. Buy a homeless person food.

This is so rewarding for them because they get a meal, but also for you because you get to make a difference. You'll be so happy that you could help someone.

7. Bake a new recipe.

Go on your Pinterest board of recipes that you never make and actually make one! You'll feel accomplished and full!

8. Go to bed 2 hours before normal.

Sleep is so important. Most people don't get more than 5 hours of sleep. You'll feel so refreshed the next day. Also, I recommend putting your phone away from your bed so it doesn't distract you.

9. Buy yourself flowers.

Treat yo' self. You deserve it.


"New year, new me." Let's turn that into a reality. It's not too late.

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.
