2017 Is YOUR year.

How can the new year build a new you?

1. Leave the toxic relationships in the past

This may be a very hard thing to do and may take a lot of time, but in the end, it is for your better. Stressing and worrying are tiring and makes it hard for you to move on. The only way that you can let go is if you remove these relationships, no matter how hard it is.


2. Go into the year with an open mind.

Anything can happen. You could meet your future spouse, get your dream job, graduate school, anything. The world is what you want it to be. This is your year for it to happen.


3. Take opportunities when you have it.

If you get offered a job and aren't sure whether to take it or not, do it. Allow yourself to experience these amazing things and take every chance when you get it. You can experience amazing times and meet many people while on the journey.


4. Be Selfish When You Need To

Your life is YOURS. Being selfish sometimes is not wrong, as long as that is not your holding you back. It is your life and whatever you make it is your decision.


5. Focus On The Positives

If your life is only consumed with negative thoughts, you are bound to be a negative person. Try focusing on the positive things in your life, even if it is small.


6. Allow People Into Your Life

Letting people in is a big thing. There are many times I wish I could go back and reconnect with someone that I stopped talking to. Allow new people in and explore different types of personalities and people. You may end up meeting the best person in your life by allowing this.


7. Minimize Social Media

Social Media has overtaken our society in a way that it hard to stay off of it. Try to limit the amount of social media that you use so that you can live in the moment, not through your phone.


8. Work On Being A Better Friend

Everybody makes mistakes in friendships, but try to make yourself a better friend to allow yourself to be happier with the friendship.

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.
