Don't Call My New Year's Resolutions Dumb

Because we all have them at some point in our lives.

Don't Call My New Year's Resolutions Dumb
We Know Your Dreams

A new year means there will be many new resolutions. Whether it's exercising more or eating healthier, we all have something that we want to do to better improve ourselves. Many people try to stick to these new year resolutions as best as they can. Other people think it is completely ridiculous to make a resolution.

Personally, I make resolutions because there are some aspects of my life that I do want to improve. I usually do succeed with my resolutions because I write them in the front of the journal that I keep every year. I find that it is easier to keep up with something that you want to achieve by keeping a reminder somewhere you will see it every day.

I really do not think that resolutions are stupid or dumb. Yeah, it seems like everyone gives them up within the first two weeks of the new year, but there are people out there that want to keep up with their resolutions. I say more power to people who want to change their lives because the new year. A new year makes everyone excited for what the year has in store for them.

2016 was a really weird year for everyone that I know, and I am sure it was as equally weird for everyone else. I think that keeping resolutions is just a way to set goals for the new year. We all have goals we want to accomplish, and that is important to us. Because we are constantly looking for ways to improve ourselves, it is important that we keep setting multiple goals for ourselves. I do not think we have to set our resolutions in the beginning of the year. I think it is completely okay to set them any time of the year.

We are constantly changing and improving ourselves. We are human and we constantly change. Because of this, it is important to constantly keep our goals updated with our lives. That is why I think it is important for us to have resolutions at some point in the year. I can say that my resolutions or goals for the year are constantly changing because I am constantly changing. I am growing. I am learning. I think it is important to keep this in mind.

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.
