6 New Year Resolutions To Follow
Piotr Lohunko

Let's be honest, we all make New Year Resolutions that we never stick to. Finding a resolution isn't the hard part; it's following them. So, perhaps we set our expectations for our resolutions too high. Little do we realize, there are simple resolutions we can follow. Here are 6 resolutions you can make in the New Year, or for that matter, any day of the year.

1. Exercise

I know what you're thinking. Everyone makes this a New Year resolution, right? Well maybe you're thinking too far into this one. Exercising doesn't have to be a daily task of going to the gym and working out. Exercising can be as simple as walking more or doing chores around the house.

2. Stay Positive

Staying positive is a great New Year resolution. Try to get rid of all the negativity in your life. Being positive creates less stress and will make the New Year not only a better year for you, but a healthier year for you.

3. Eat Healthier

Of course, I know we've all tried this resolution. Eating healthier doesn't just mean dieting and cutting out all of your favorite foods. You can do something as simple as adding more vegetables on your plate and drinking more water.

4. Make Time for Yourself

It's important to make time for yourself. Don't force yourself to be everywhere at once. Find a safe space and do something you enjoy every once in awhile.

5. Meet New People

This resolution doesn't mean cutting out people in the New Year that you've already met, it means keeping them and meeting more people. It's always good to meet new people because it could lead to better opportunities and expands your social life. Besides, you can never have too many friends, right?

6. Get Involved

Do something different. Join a club, get a job, participate in community service, raise awareness. There's always something you can do to get involved. I believe this is a great resolution to follow.

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.
