17 Things To Do This New Year
The Author Incubator

With the New Year here, why not try something new. It can either be a small event or a big goal to take on. And this might help out some of you who are looking to do something new or reach a goal for this year. And for some of us, finding a new year’s resolution or goal (that’s just right for us) can be tough. So here are a few ideas to consider.

1.Travel to another state and/or country.

2. Read an entire book series

3. Save a little amount of money each week until the end of the year. Whether its 10 dollars or 1, by the end of the year you’ll be happy you saved.

4. Stay off social media for a day or however long you’re comfortable with.

5. Volunteer somewhere. You’ll feel good about yourself afterwards. Whether it is at an animal shelter or a homeless shelter.

6. Eat healthy for at least a week. Try going vegan or detoxing your body for a while.

7. Quit a bad habit. For instance, quit smoking or biting your nails.

8.Treat yourself to something at least once a week. Buy yourself that favorite shirt you’ve been wanting or that snack you’ve been craving so much.

9. Try a new food.

10. Learn a new language.

11. Foster an animal. If you don’t want to fully adopt a pet, fostering one might be right for you. Not only will you keep an animal off the streets or out of a shelter, you will be giving them the love they deserve until they find their forever home.

12. Create a new food to show off to your friends and family.

13. Start a new tradition for the holidays or just in general.

14. Don’t stress as much. Take more time for yourself this year and take care of your mind and body. Even you need a break sometimes.

15. Meet new people. Yeah it’s nice to be alone, but it’s even nicer to have people around you that you can connect with, especially if they’re new.

16. Try not to procrastinate so much with school or work. This year try and stay on top of everything that is going on in your life. This might also help you to become more organized as well and push yourself more.

17. And most importantly make more time for those who matter.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
