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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
