Happy New Years and welcome to 2017! Now that I have woken you up, it's time to discuss our plans to tackle this hell ride of a year, despite the fact I'm not the most social butterfly out of the bunch. This year, I don't want to make resolutions. This year I want to scream out the choices I made and embrace without a single drop of regret. This would be the time where we all go; "Let's list down how we are going to loose weight!" or "Let's list down on how we are going to be successful!". Well let me break this down for you.

You're still starting from the bottom as an impatient son of a **tch. Many of you are students who have no idea what to do in life or beginning a new semester. We don't know how things are going to turn out for us during this brand new year. We are in the 'where the hell do I go' stage without a course of action. The only way I see any of us changing for this brand new year is to take baby steps.

Baby steps are going to allow us to think and plan, but still spring at the chance when we get one. We should write down our decisions and keep at it. It like writing a novel for a set date. If you make minor goals, then you would succeed. I am guilty of being in the lazy aspect of this equation, yet I'm willingly to attempt making minor goals if people around me are going too. I want to be healthy, I want to be stable, but those are all long term goals. I feel as so, we should be making goals for the small side and come out with huge achievements to kick some real world ass.

For this coming year, who know what is going to happen to any of us. Lists and insignificant goals are too much of an hassle to focus on when we got the now to worry about. We need the lessons of 2016 to make us stronger and lists won't do that. I personally think that its time to not focus on goals we won't do and focus on taking the leap of faith with the important stuff carrying us forward.

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.
