“New Year, New Me.” A saying that people will be saying for a long time into the new year. Some people stay true to this saying, but other people just say it just to say it. I was one of those people. I say that every year that this year I will be a new person. Change up my eating habits o and study more. But THIS year, I WILL be a new person. Not only will my eating and studying habits change, but also the people that come and go into my life. There have been people that have walked over me and have taken advantaged. I am tired of people coming into my life and using me. This year will be a change.

When I am with people, I want to be happy. If I am not happy with you, you can count on me deleting you from my life. This year I want to be surrounded by people who are going to make me happy. I want to be able to enjoy my time with them. Be excited when I get to see them. Make plans willingly, not have that feeling that I need to hang out with them.

Don’t bring negativity into my life. I already have to deal with work, extra-curricular activities, school work, and many other things. One of the things I don’t want to deal with is negativity. Don’t bring your nasty attitude in my life. Don’t just complain to me that you got a bad grade, go do something about it. Attitude is everything. Please have a positive outlook on things, it will make everyone’s life a whole lot easier. Yet, for those who constantly complain or carry an attitude of ungratefulness the atmosphere becomes filled with gloom and negativity.

Please let me trust you. If I can’t trust you, then how can I tell you things. Everyone knows that trust is one of the most essential factors in any form of relationship. Once it’s broken, there is almost nothing ta can fix it. Those who can claim any space in someone’s “social circle”, then you need to be trustworthy. It’s one of the things that makes people become closer and closer. When the bond is broken, or betrayed, then it’s time to ditch our friendship.

It takes two people to make a friendship work. If you are not helping, then you’re gone. If you are not making the effort to contact me, then just stop. If the only reason you want to talk to me to get something from me, then delete my number because I am not having it. I want people who are not just going to use me for things. Yes, I will help you with things, but I want to know that you are going to help me in return.

Have an important event coming up? I will be there. Have a crazy idea for things? I will help you. This is called being supportive. When I have something amazing to tell you, I hope that you can support me as much as I support you. We both have dreams and goals we want to reach in life, but I want to know if you are going to support me. If you’re not, then goodbye. Being in a relationship or a friendship is a two-way street. I will be by your side if you will be by mine.

I am determined to make this year one for the books. From the way I eat to the people who will be walking into my life, I will make this year one to remember.

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.
