13 One-Sentence Resolutions You Can Aspire Toward In 2017

That's soo last year. 2016 has come and gone and now 2017 has taken center stage with new technology being to launched and a new president claiming to "Make America Great Again." With so much going on we neglect to realize who we are not just what we do with our jobs but our character and how we interact with other people. I have recently found myself not knowing who I am, so to get my life back on track (if it ever was on track) I have made these 13 resolutions that will hopefully help you and I get our shit together for 2017.

1. To do at least one good thing for someone else every day, just spread kindness.

2. Be honest about your feelings and not to apologize for having them.

3. To refrain from talking about people behind their back, avoid being judgemental in every way.

4. Say 'yes' when you want to and 'no' when you need to.

5. Focus on creating happiness within your life, instead of chasing after it.

6. Stop thinking about how you can improve your life and actually do it.

7. Get the amount of sleep each night that you deserve.

8. Hit the snooze button less.

9. Read more actual books, even if it is one more than last year.

10. Focus on one activity at a time, channel you energy and enjoy the moment more.

11. Always say 'hello' or 'good morning' to the cashier, barista, or uber driver before you ask what you want.

12. Enjoy the outdoors more other than staying inside on social media.

13. Be someone right now that you'll be proud of in five years from now.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
