8 Different Resolutions To Have For 2017

Every New Years we make resolutions that usually make it until the end of January before they are broken. There are tons of other resolutions besides "losing weight, eating better, and watching less TV" that are much easier to stick to.

1. Do 1 Kind Thing Each Day

Whether you pay for someone else's coffee every once in a while or just say a few kind words to a passerby, remember it takes no money to say a kind word, you never know what can change someones life!

2. Donate Each Month To A Charity of Your Choice

Whether it's a dollar a day or 50 cents a day it can make all the difference. Save it up throughout the month and give it to someone or a cause that is truly in need.

3. Find A New Hobby And Stick With It

Broaden your horizons and learn something new, take a painting class or a pottery class. It never hurts to try new things and you may make some great friends along the way.

4. Volunteer X Amount of Times This Year

Get out in your community and make a difference. Whether you go out and volunteer weekly or monthly it makes a difference. The best part is that you can do it alone or with friends and family- make it a group resolution!

5. Take A Class You Wouldn't Normally Take

Learn Spanish or French, or about Mayan Culture. You can never be over-educated!

6. Follow Through With Plans

Everyone gets busy and life definitely gets in the way sometimes, but next time you make plans with your friends and family don't blow them off. Actively try and be there.

7. Travel More

Whether its weekend road trips or a Caribbean getaway- do it, try it, go experience all that life has to offer.

8. Do Something Everyday That Scares You

Whether its any of the things listed above or something completely different. Go out and challenge yourself even if it is cliche.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
