New Years Ideas

It's not too late to start something great

New Years Ideas

As another year comes to a close, there is nothing more people enjoy than sitting back with a glass of champagne to reflect on all the good events during the year. However, 12 months is a long time-frame, and after a few glasses of bubbly, it might be hard to recall your favorite events from the year. Here is a list of a few things you can do throughout this year to keep your New Years resolutions and memories.

1. Start a journal

It is easy to start a journal, but many have a hard time following through with the idea. There is no need to write in it everyday, so to compromise, when something special happens to you this year, write it down, and when you read it at the end of the year, you can re-live the experience

2. Make a new snapchat

But don't use it. Write down the username and password of your new snapchat and tuck it away in a place that you will remember at the end of the year. Send snapchats to that account to document your year. At the end of the year, log into the snapchat and look through all the fun pictures you have taken that year.

3. Mason jar idea

There have been a few renditions of writing things down and putting them in a mason jar to read at the end of the year. You could write down one good memory from every month, or you could jot down date ideas, another idea is to write positive things about yourself. Whatever you write, you will have a great time looking through them at the end of the year.

4. Write a letter to your future self

This website allows you to write yourself an email and even attach a picture, and it will be delivered to your inbox at a date of your choice. You can send monthly emails to keep yourself on track of your new years resolutions, or write one email to read at the end of the year.

5. Make yearly predictions

Write down all the things that you hope will happen this year. Even if they are unrealistic, write them down. You will either have a good laugh or a feeling of self-accomplishment at the end of the year when you read through your predictions. Make sure to hide your predictions in a good spot so you won't be tempted to peek at them early, but won't forget where you placed them.

I hope you all had a fun and safe New Years and have a happy 2016!

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.
