My New Years Resolutions

I swear guys this time I'm going to do them

My New Years Resolutions
New Year Wishes

Does anyone actually follow through with these? Oh! Some people actually do? Man...maybe I should give it a shot then. Well here goes nothing!

1. Be nice

I'll be the first to admit, I actually do struggle with this. Sometimes I want to gossip, okay all the time; and I can be very, very petty at times. These two things are some very bad habits that I would love to break in the upcoming year! I'd rather give everyone a chance and try to be friends with them rather than pushing everyone away and be about as judgmental as a court judge himself! I think by doing this I'll really try my hardest to stop and think before I say something about someone else, and I'll go talk to them first and get to know them rather than straight off blowing them off by the first impression I received.

2. Working out

Now, wait! Don't just blow this off and scroll past it, because I want to actually try! I mean I want to start going to the free Zumba and Yoga classes that my amazing school offers and maybe I'll even pass by the gym. Well, let's be honest, I probably won't because the only workout equipment I know how to work is the vending machines that spit out healthy protein bars and energy drinks. I will admit, this had been on my resolution list for a very, very, long time but I actually think I'll start committing to this one with the new freedom college has provided. How about we all just say a quick prayer hoping we'll all work our next year like we've been telling ourselves since about 2012.

3. Getting organized

I am already working on this one as we speak, I've made quite a few trips to various thrift shops and donation areas to drop off unwanted items I've found in my room and office. One thing I need to organize the most is my car. I'm a total mess when it comes to keeping junk out of my car because I usually get home late every day, so taking everything out just doesn't seem worth it to me. Throughout the new year, I don't only want a clean car, but I'll start trying to get home before 10 every night. The lack of sleep seems to be running my energy in the mornings. It's so hard for me to get up before 9 and I'd like to get to work in the mornings by 8 and also train myself to be ready to wake up for the 8 AM classes I'll have next semester.

That's about it for me, hopefully throughout the year I'll keep referencing back to this article and work on the things I've said. i even wrote these three things down on my dry erase board, so I'll see these three things everyday. You never know, this may be my year.

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.
