Resolutions For The New Year

With 2017 right around the corner, we need to talk about something. Resolutions. Every year millions of people vow that they will do something that they have never done before and stick with it. For many people, it is loosing weight or eating healthier and for some it can be as easy as texting their mom every day. There is no end to what a resolution can be and that is amazing. Your resolution should be personal to you to make you a better person or to make yourself feel good. Don't do a resolution because someone else is telling you to. I compiled a list of popular resolutions in case you need a little inspiration to what you could possibly attempt in the new year.

1. Lose weight or eat healthy.

I know I mentioned this one in my introduction, but it is the perfect one to start off this list. If you are trying to get healthy, now is the time to do it. The new year is a clean slate for you. You can reinvent yourself however you see fit.

2. Become more organized.

This resolution is a personal favorite of mine. It is always a good idea to get ahead and be as organized as humanly possible. This resolution can be using a planner or cleaning up clutter.


3. Do a random act of kindness every day.

It is always a good thing to share a little happiness everyday in your actions. The world could use a little more love throughout the year.


4. Read more.

Books are awesome. If you spend a little time a month to read a little more, that could help you immensely. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but have a little fun with your book choice if you choose this resolution.

5. Grow mentally.

This should be the mindset for every year. Growing mentally is amazing. You realize things about yourself and you grow as a person. The best part of this is that you don't have to actively do anything for it. All you need to do is grow just a little bit and you have reached your goal.

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.
