Have you ever wandered blindly into a new year wondering what you can do to change yourself? Here are seven of the best ideas you can put as your resolution this year! It's never too late to begin!

1. Be more fit.

The #1 Resolution that everyone claims to have is to either lose weight or work out more. Sure, this is a great resolution to have - but you shouldn't focus on that one in particular if there are other things that you want to achieve!

2. Read more books.

Whether you're an avid reader or not, studies have shown that if you read more books that your vocabulary skills increase as the year passes. Increasing the amount of reading that you do every year could potentially increase your vocabulary enough that you can pass that exam that you've been struggling to comprehend.

3. Learn a new language.

Of course, you can't learn an ENTIRE language in one year unless you move to a new area where one is spoken. Even then, it would be difficult to cram the entire language into your mental dictionary. However, beginning to study a new language can also help your vocabulary increase. Who knew?

4. Travel to new places.

I know this one is definitely on MY list of Resolutions. Traveling to new places can help you understand your surroundings better, and you could possibly meet somebody new. A lover, perhaps?

5. Cook more often.

A lot of people don't think about this one, but cooking is found to be relaxing to most people. If you don't enjoy this activity, then this one definitely isn't the Resolution for you.

6. Go shopping less.

If you begin to spend less money and store more of it away, it's possible that you could have enough money to go on that trip you've wanted to go on for the past few years.

7. Take up a new hobby.

Whether it's fishing, crocheting, knitting, singing, or writing - there's a hobby out there for you! Take a few minutes out of your day to find something relaxing and calming that you can do in order to take more stress out of your day. This is one you definitely won't regret.

Whether you decide to look into following any of these Resolutions or come up with your own, it's always a good idea to start thinking about your options before the end of January. Who knows, maybe you'll find a Resolution that fits you in late-December and still complete it before 2020!

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.
