Realistic Resolutions For College Girls

1. I will limit myself to Taco Bell one to two times a week.

2. I will not hate myself after eating Taco Bell three to four times a week.

3. I will go to class every day -- at least, one of them.

4. I will work out three days a week. Power walking to the fridge at 2 a.m. does not count.

5. I will spend 45 minutes less per day stalking people on Insta. Or Twitter. Or Facebook. Or searching for them on Google image. Or searching for their parents on Google. I will do 45 minutes less of that. Every day.

6. I will minimize my judgmental inner thoughts on other people’s life choices.

7. And more importantly, I will minimize my judgmental inner thoughts on others' outfit choices.

8. I will call my parents more frequently, just because they rock, rather than just because I need money.

9. I will write a paper before the night before it is due, or at least look at the paper description.

10. I will take the time to consider whether I really need another sorority t-shirt.

11. I will make an attempt to go to class without looking like I just crawled out of bed. I will, at least, brush my hair.

12. I will put makeup on, sometimes, so my boyfriend does not forget that I can look normal.

13. I will minimize my wine bottle intake per week. I will stop justifying it by saying, “I mean, it’s basically fruit.” It is not fruit.

14. I will go to bed 2 a.m. because I am becoming an adult and that is what grown ups do, even if this creates tension in my Netflix relationship.

15. I will eat something green every day. This does not include skittles, jolly ranchers, spearmint gum, avocado ranch dressing or M&Ms.

16. I will leave for class on time so I don’t have to park in staff roughly 12 times per semester.

17. I will read a book instead of using Sparksnotes. Probably only if said book is not on Sparksnotes. I will read a book.

18. I will not gloat about how awesome my boyfriend is because that is really annoying.

19. I will not whine about how awful having no boyfriend is because that is really annoying.

20. I will not let a man be the measurement of my happiness because, bless their hearts, they are so dumb. And because that is really annoying.

21. I will maintain a clean room instead of the usual, “this place looks like it got hit by a tornado of clothes and beauty products."

22. I will really evaluate the necessity of that sixth shot of vodka.

23. I will wash my clothes before running out my last pair of clean socks.

24. Speaking of socks, I will make an effort not to lose them.

25. Maybe, I will even make an effort to find all the misfortunate lost socks.

26. I will wash my face every night before bed and leave toilettes by the bed so drunk me can at least attempt to be proactive.

27. I will eat more breakfast, even if it has to be left over pizza.

28. I will not let my friend go home with an ugly guy.

29. I will not let my friend go home with a really hot guy who has an overwhelmingly terrible personality.

30. In either situation, I will make her go home with me. And probably to Taco Bell, too.

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.
