New Years Resolutions You Should Make
The Jazz Corner

Here we are again, a new year along with a new year full of goals that you may or may not accomplish. Whatever your goals may be in life, there are some basic resolutions that should always be a part of your New Years Resolutions list; and no, I'm not talking about cutting down on the amount of drinks you buy at the bar on dollar night.

Be more positive

Now I'm not telling you that you have to be a happy ray of sunshine 24 hours of the day, but instead of constantly complaining, look more toward the bright side of things. Not everything is bad!

Drink more water

Often times, we don't drink enough water every day. Drinking enough water each day can reduce your risk of dehydration, can help clear up any skin problems, aid in weight management, and much more! So put down your third cup of Dunkin' coffee or your can of Coke, and drink some water.

Take more naps

Yes, you read that right. If you didn't get enough sleep throughout the night, help your body out and take a short nap. Naps will help you feel more energized and thus make you more productive during the day. Just don't take a 5 hour nap late in the afternoon, ya feel me?

Be more patient

Did you know that you're not always in a constant race against the world? Have some patience every once in a while. Being more patient can really reduce your stress that you are most likely putting on yourself. Take a breather, everything is going to be OK.

Talk more & text less

One of the best things in the world is good communication. You know what's even better? Communicating with someone in person! Instead of only communicating with others with your handy-dandy phone, why not meet up and have some real social interaction? Your followers on twitter can wait.

Take better care of yourself

This is not just limited to a balanced diet and exercise! This also includes more sleep and learning to love yourself and the body you are in. As Justin Bieber would say, "you should go and love yourself".


Have a great New Year and conquer 2017!

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.
