New Year Resolutions That Matter

Can't change yourself in a year but we can use it to get closer

New year new me is complete BS so let's set some realistic "resolutions" that we can possibly make happen. Stop with wanting to go to the gym or other basic goals you've heard about because these need to actually be your own original choices that you'll want to do.

No cleaning your closet is not something you can work an entire year on, go with something like listening to song lyrics more than the noise so you can build a better understanding of it, and doing this trains your mind to focus as well as lifting your mood for a positive outlook of life.

I am going with a theme for my "resolutions"; Positive mind positive life, because why would I spend this entire year being as miserable as I was last year. With that, I want to try (and ultimately fail) a bunch of small cute things that could help. Like drinking tea more often, or voluntarily going on more walks. But enough about my future fails, here's some that could us all:

-pet more dogs

-eat more ice cream

-go to that random party(with trusty friends somewhere that isn't sketchy)

But over all make ourselves happier. We cannot completely change ourselves heart and mind in only 365 days because that's something completely instilled in you but we can use it to get one step closer to the person we want /need to become. So stop forcing it to happen because it will blow up in your face. Reflect back on what happened last year and think about what needs the change and Slowly accomplish what you believe are minor goals, those matter most. So let's kick off this year to our potential selves with a brighter future. The ball is in your court, what do you want to become

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.
