Ah, the New Year. A chance to start over, set new goals, reach new heights all due to the lofty promise of the "new year, new me" mentality. Don't get me wrong, I suffer from the premise of reinventing myself or bettering myself in the new year. I always set goals that I quickly forget about, change or simply become too lazy to keep up with, especially once school starts up again and I fall back into the old habitual routine that comes with it. Here are 19 things (ha get it) that you've probably promised yourself, or heard others pledge to keep up with, that you, and everyone else knows, simply won't stick. What can I say, old habits die hard

Go to the gym

I have been to the gym at school once, and i'll never go back

Eat healthier

I'm really good at this until its 11 pm and I NEED chocolate or i'll literally die

Spend less money

I don't even have any money to spend

Say 'yes' more

Routine takes precedence

Meet new people

Now a Junior in college, this is harder than it was as a Freshman

Read more

School has ruined reading for me, and frankly i'm upset

Stay organized

Easy to do once, hard to maintain

Build better study habits

Maybe if i fixed #10 I could

Manage stress more efficiently

If someone actually teaches me this i'll change #new #year #new #me

Stop procrastinating

I'm procrastinating other things by writing this article (;

Travel more

With what money and time?

Improve your sleeping habits

NGL this is the one resolution I have actually done. Night time mode on your phone/computer actually saves lives, utilize it.

Spend less time on your phone/social media

Maybe you'll go on a "cleanse" for a week but the habit is hard to break especially when you need to stalk your ex or post that really killer selfie or get a good laugh from twitter

Clean out your closet

You may do this once, maybe even twice, but the rest of the year its absolute anarchy

Drink less alcohol, more water

Stopping kidding yourself

Learn a new skill/language

With what time?

Find a new hobby

How?

Eat at home more

This becomes increasingly more hard when you remember you have to clean up

Floss

My dentist hates me

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.
