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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
