7 ​Things You Need To Leave in 2019 To Start The New Year Right

If you're looking for a sign to change, this is it.

If they have a big enough mouth to be up in your face they have a big enough mouth to apologize. Cut them out!

That job you hate

Life is too short to stay in a job you hate, perhaps it's time for a career change. What's worse than wasting 2, 5, or twenty years is wasting twenty years and a day. For those working part time, that minimum wage gig where you are getting paid the same amount as everyone else to bust your ass while they sit on theirs is not worth it. There's other ways to make money, start applying elsewhere STAT.

Not putting yourself first

Do yourself a solid and stop being everyone's doormat. Sometimes silence is the best answer. It's not your job to make everyone happy.

Your bad habits

You are your own worst enemy when you skimp out on sleep, procrastinate, or don't take care of your body. These things seem small but make all the difference and add up.

Relationships that make you feel the type of tired which has nothing to do with sleep

Get rid of these leeches or keep them at arms length, before your soul is sucked out of you.

Recollections of anyone it hurts you to think about

Why are you saving those pictures of those friends who stabbed you in the back, and that guy/girl who didn't realize what they had until it was gone? The Instagram archive feature and the trash exists for a reason.

Not being an opportunist

Stop waiting for opportunities to reach you, go get them! Use your connections, update your LinkedIn, post that video, join that club- whatever it is that excites you, don't let another year go by that you aren't shooting for the moon.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
