It's that time of the year again. It's New Year's resolution time. Yes, it is well into the new year by now, but you probably broke all your resolutions like 3 days in. So if you're looking for some new New Year's resolutions, look no further.

1. Buy one less latte a week.

We all love coffee that isn't brewed at home, but it takes its toll on the bank account. By cutting back on one a week, that's $4 more in your pocket, and multiply that by 50 (since we're already into the new year of course), that's $200 in your pocket. That money can be put to good use, like buying a Keurig to make more coffee at home.

2. Be sure to accomplish one thing each day.

Everyone loves the feeling of accomplishing something, so why not have that feeling every day? Doesn't matter how big or small your task is. You finally folded your laundry? That deserves a high five. You applied for a job? Congrats, man! Just find at least one thing to do and DO IT each day.

3. Read more.

Reading doesn't always mean reading a full-length novel. Don't read the news enough? Start doing that! Or if you're a student and are always reading things you don't want to, like boring textbooks, start reading for yourself this year.

4. Take more naps.

The best way to be productive? Being well-rested! And you're not well-rested unless you take naps! The key thing is to take power naps since you don't have all day to sleep. You gotta be productive in the new year!

5. Show more kindness.

Text your homies saying you got home safely. Text your mom randomly that you love her. Tip a waiter a bit more than usual. Spread love in this crazy messed up world that we live in.

These will be a piece of cake compared to the ones you (probably) already broke! Get to it!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
