It's almost that time of the year again where we are all thinking about what we want to accomplish this year. I'm here to show you what the true stages of New Years Resolutions look like.

Stage 1

In this stage, you start your planning. Some of the most common New Years Resolutions range from weight loss to trying to live life to it's fullest. In this stage, most people are excited and full of energy to get ready and start their resolution!

Stage 2

It's the time to start what you have planned. Maybe it is time to hit up the gym or go buy some healthy food from the local grocery store. In this stage, if you're planning to lose weight you're gonna sweat your butt off and you're probably going to be craving junk foods. If you're the person trying to live life to it's fullest you are probably trying to find some fun trips to go on or researching what living life to it's fullest consists of.

Stage 3

In this stage, you're probably debating quitting whatever you made a plan to accomplish. For those of you trying to lose weight, you are probably getting tired of getting up and going to the gym. Your body probably hurts and you are sick of this crap. For those that are trying to live life to the fullest, you're beginning to realize that doing this is destroying your bank account. This stage tests your plans that you made and will show if you are actually going to be able to do this.

Stage 4

In this stage, most people will give up. They thought about what they may have wanted to accomplish and how it is just not going to work for them. This obviously doesn't apply to everyone. Those of you who have accomplished something, good for you! But those of you who have not, don't feel like you have failed. You are not alone, there are many people out there who are in the same stage you're in.

Don't make a goal if you don't think that you can stick to it throughout the year. It is okay to not have a goal and to just live your life they way you see fit. But, if you want to create a goal, I hope you have a lot of perseverance.

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.
