Things You Should Make Habit in 2017
Cape May Dragon Boat

The new year is quickly approaching which automatically means it is a new you. The common question starts to be regarding resolutions or new habits that we wish to put in place for this upcoming year, but what will you make of 2017?

A line a day- You know those small, thick books that seems like a planner. yes, that! Most of us love the idea of that but never get around to it at the beginning of the year. You dont even need that special notebook, you can use any piece of paper!

Get into a routine- Because why not?

Do something for yourself at least once a week- Because you deserve time for your amazing self!

Catch up with old friends- Because at one point they were 'your people'!

Do things that you have never done- Maybe run a marathon or spend the whole day at a buffet! You might find a new hobby!

Do something that scares you or that you have always wanted to do- Because 2018 is not guaranteed and 2017 is going to be badass!

Try to volunteer or give back at least once a month- Because we are all trying our best and need help every once in a while!

Meal prep- Because we all feel better when we eat better and it gives you an excuse to buy a cute lunchbox!

Exercise daily or weekly- Because we all feel our best when we look our best and it gives you an extra excuse to eat that whole pint of Ben and Jerry's!

Call or video chat your loved ones daily- Because texting is lame and they love and miss you!

Get sleep- Because 12 cups of coffee a day and pure exhaustion is not fun.

Wake up early- Because then you have more time each day and it feels amazing to get a lot of things accomplished.

Seek immediate help when you dont feel well physically or mentally- Because you do not deserve to suffer, especially not alone!

Use a re-useable water bottle and bring it filled everywhere- Because there is no better you than a hydrated you and buying plastic water bottles are so 2016!

Make time for the people you care about- Because nothing is more expensive than time.

Surprise those you love- Maybe by showing up to see them or with a small surprise. Nothing is better than a little surprise.

Write letters- Because who does not enjoy receiving mail!? Besides bills- they suck.

Save part of your pay check- Because putting a little bit away per check will add up quickly through the year.

Cut the procrastination- Probably the hardest habit to kick! We are all guilty of it but being proactive could be super helpful in the long run!

Choose happiness- Because the cliche saying is so incredibly true!

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.
