Everyone makes at least one New Year's resolution, but who actually sticks to them? We all want to stay true to our resolution; that's why we made them in the first place, right?

Well, how do we make that actually happen?

Here is a list of five simple things you can do to make sure you stay on the right path to accomplishing your resolution.

1. Make goals that you can actually accomplish.

Everyone has those unrealistic goals, which are great to have, but you should really have some that you know you will actually be able to do.

2. Have a realistic amount.


Don't make too many resolutions. When you have too many, it is often hard to keep track of them all, and you'll be less likely to stay on top of them. The fewer the better.


3.Make a list of your resolutions and put it in a place you will see every morning.


This one is super important because it will be a constant reminder of what you promised yourself you would do.


4. Reward yourself.

Tie your resolution in with rewards. Challenges are so much better when there is a reward at the finish line. You should celebrate your accomplishment!

5. Complete it in small increments of time.


Your resolution should take you no longer than one hour a day. If it is longer than an hour, you're more than likely not going to do it. Keep it short and simple and you will actually be able to motivate yourself to do it.

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.
