In 2017, Be Who God Wants You To Be

A new approach to a New Year's Resolution

It's a new year, which means one thing: New Year's Resolutions. Most people try to change something about themselves to make themselves better, but within the first week of January, their resolution goes to heck. Instead of making a resolution and watching it fail, one way to improve your life would be to be who God wants you to be. That way, whatever you do, the main goal is to be the best version of yourself and be who God wants you to be. That is what I plan on doing this new year.

At first, I decided my New Year's Resolution would be to work out more and eat healthy. I can still do that, but I will have a different end goal in mind when I do so. I know that God wants me to treat my body right. When I became anemic in the middle of December, that opened my eyes to how poorly I was eating. I also stopped working out last school year because I didn't think I had the time and I lost the motivation. This year, things will be different. By working out and eating healthier, I will become what God wants me to be. I know God wants me to be healthy and to make sure I am treating my body right.

When I become who God wants me to be, I can truly be happy and healthy. I know that it will be hard to keep up my goal and there will be some days when I don't want to wake up and work out, but I know that God wants me to be healthy, so as long as I have that in mind, it should (hopefully) be easier to get myself to be healthier. So this year, instead of making a resolution you know you are not going to keep, make an effort to be who God wants you to be, whatever that look like for you. Watch as your life improves this new year.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
