Every January, we create a list of New Year's resolutions. Things like going to the gym, eating healthier, or staying in more. And every year, none of them are followed through after two weeks. It can be hard keeping a resolution but there are some easy ways that you can!

1. Get a planner.

Planning helps. Write out your entire day, every day in order to keep track of what you have to accomplish and already have. If it's right in front of you every day, it'll be hard to not pay attention.

2. Follow your planner.

Set a strict schedule, and stay on track. Whatever your resolution is, if it's in your planner, you know it has to happen. This also means that you're always planning a time for it so it doesn't get put off till the end of the night or never happening.

3. Use your reminder app.

Set reminders for yourself. Remember to check your planner, do your resolutions, and anything else. That way, everything you need done is reinforced.

4. Find an accountability buddy.

You keep track of them and they keep track of you. There's no way for you to flake out on yourself if there is someone right by your side. You just have to pick a trustworthy buddy!

5. Form good habits.

Once you form a habit, it's hard to break. Start small, and then work your way up. Habits take 21 days to form, which is less than a month! You can 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.
