This upcoming year, strive to be the best person you can be. Start by adopting these 18 goals for your 2018.

1. Be kind to others.

Smile at people; say hello to people; help people if they're struggling; genuinely care about what people have to say. Even if they're strangers.

2. Eat a little healthier.

Make some healthier decisions. It'll make a difference.

3. Exercise a little more.

Everyone is busy, so you don't need to go crazy. But even a little bit is better than nothing. It'll make you feel good.

4. Try new things.

The world is filled with so many possibilities. Go out and do something you've never done before; be adventurous.

5. Procrastinate less.

You don't need all of the stress that goes along with procrastination.

6. Have more nights when you get a lot of sleep.

You might even wake up feeling refreshed.

7. Have more nights when you don't get any sleep.

Because those nights always make the best memories.

8. Set goals and stick to them.

Better yourself, step by step.

9. Make more time for the people you love.

They need to be really high on your priority list, and they need to feel like they're really high on your priority list.

10. Be honest with people.

It's always the better alternative.

11. Treat yourself.

Seriously, you work hard in your life. You deserve it.

12. Call your loved ones more often.

Life is too short. You need to make the most of your time here.

13. Meet new people.

There are definitely new people out there that you'll connect with.

14. Help others.

You never know what others are going through. Give them your time.

15. But also know when to just take care of you.

You need to be your priority sometimes.

16. Keep doing what you love.

Even if you're busy, it's absolutely worth the happiness it gives you.

17. Do your best in everything you do.

If you're going to do it, give it your all.

18. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Often, you're your own worst critic. Take note of all of your accomplishments, and don't judge yourself too harshly.

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.
