7 New Year's Resolutions We've All Made

January 1 is around the corner, and we all know what that means -- New Year's resolutions! We have all made resolutions (whether we have kept them is another story entirely). Here is a list of common New Year's resolutions. Hey, you might find one or two on here that you've made!

1. "I'm going to work out more."

Whether we've phrased it as "get fit" or "go to the gym," we have all made this resolution. But why go to the gym when you can go to Buffalo Wild Wings?

Do the carrots and celery that come with my chicken wings count?

2. "I'm going to budget my money better."

Of course you are... after you hit up that sale at Victoria's Secret, and Bath & Body Works... and Target.

3. "My grades are going to come first this semester."

One of my personal favorites. We all have good intentions when it comes to our grades, but binge watching a whole seasons of friends on Netflix is sooo much easier than typing that paper for economics.

4. "I'm going to read more."

Again, why read when there's Netflix?

5. "I'm going to learn a new skill."

If that new skill is watching Netflix without having to press "continue watching," then sign me up.

6. "I'm going to be more productive."

We all say this, and then all of a sudden it's 5 p.m and we've only left the couch to use the restroom.

7. "I'm not going to wear leggings everyday this year."

Haha, okay.

Have you made any of the resolutions on the list? Did you keep them? If you did, kudos to you! And if not, better luck next year!

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.
