New Year's Resolutions As Told By Bridget Jones
MovieBoozer

It's that time of the year again when the calendar has flipped forward to the first day of January and everyone's off to a new start. A new year may be an ambitious beginning for some, an anxious attempt for another, or a thankful opportunity for others. For me, a new year is an exciting but at the same time, a nerve-racking beginning, and to ease my transition into the new year I make new year's resolutions. So here it is, my yet-to-be-discovered resolutions, told by the all-time favorite rom-com icon, Bridget Jones.

1. Stay organized for the entire year. In another words--get my life under control.

I guess I should get a planner to write my new resolutions like Bridget does.

2. Successfully lose weight and get that bikini beach body.

No giving up this time! But three days in, I still end up eating Ben and Jerry's.

3.Make use of all the clothes piled up in my wardrobe instead of wearing pajamas all day.

New year, new clothes!

4. Don't fall into the trap trying everything that looks good in movies. In real life, nothing is close to that greatness, especially open cars.

5. Don't under dress or over dress for formal parties.

6. Quit singing dramatically alone at home.

Especially with a hairdryer in one hand and a hairbrush in another.

7. Never straighten my hair with an iron.

Where do I even begin...

8. Hopefully, be as lucky as Bridget and find a perfect guy who will like me just the way I am.

Relationship goals or no?

9. Stick to my New Year's resolutions.

With Bridget Jones help, we'll all breeze through the year as perfectly and as she did!

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.
