New Year's Resolutions I Never Fulfilled

I'm being as honest and guilty as you should be.

We all have New Year's Resolutions that we never fulfill. Most people go for weight loss, because it seems like obese America feels this is the ultimate goal, instead of, you know, ending world hunger. I am reluctantly openly guilty about making these stupid goals that will never become reality. Here is my list.

Learning to ride a bike.

I’m going to be that 30-year-old trying to balance myself on two wheels. Awesome.

Eating healthy.

This is hard, because chocolate tastes good and spinach does not.

Not starting journals and only writing on one page.

Because I like to support the killing of trees for no good reason.

Going skinny dipping.

The thought of something foreign touching my no-no square is enough to keep this one unfulfilled.

Toning up.

If I didn’t do resolution number two, why would I do this one? I just mess up my list.

Writing a book.

Can I write this at the last minute like I do my papers?

Getting a long-term boyfriend.

All of my significant others like to move to different states. That means I’m cute, right?

Letting my hair grow to my butt.

Just kidding, I'm talking about the hair on my head. I’d rather fry my hair and cut it, apparently.

Visiting another country.

But I’d rather spend my money on expensive college and fancy coffee.

Saving money.

I already spent the penny I found on the ground 10 minutes ago.

That year I didn't make one because I'm so edgy...

Ha ha. Look at you now.

Learning how to roller skate.

I can’t even walk, people.

Going to a concert.

I’m pretty much the only person that hasn’t been to one. I honestly don’t even know why this is still on the list. I’m just lazy.

Starting to drive again.

Because when you make your car catch on fire, everyone is reluctant to hand over the keys. My family is going to kill me for joking about this.

Becoming Tumblr famous.

I’m almost there with my three-note post!

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.
