Everyone's talking about their resolutions. You've heard the endless "I'm going to lose weight" or "I'm going to go to the gym every day". But what if you don't have any goals for the year? Well, don't fret. Here's a list of six goals that you can carry through the year and through your whole life.

1. Take more naps

Naps are probably the best thing ever. Who doesn't love a beautiful nap?

2. Pet more animals

Literally SO MANY animals out there need love and affection. Just remember to be careful! Not all animals like people.

3. Go on more nature walks

There is quite literally nothing better than walking through a forest or a field or anything outside. Fresh air, plants, animals, it's all so cleansing, physically and mentally.

4. Listen to new music

Music will actually nourish your soul and promote your wellbeing. But listening to the same stuff time and time again gets boring and frustrating. Open your heart and your ears to new sounds. You never know what you'll find

5. Try new things

You don't only live once. If you do it right, you'll have lived a new life each day. New experiences brighten up life and give your spirit zest and pizzazz, for example, that was my first time using both zest and pizzazz in real life. Does it truly count as a life if you didn't spend as much time as possible going on new adventures and learning new things? Would you want to be on your deathbed thinking "wow I wish I had done more"?

6. Be kind

Quite possibly the most important goal. Be kind. Kind to yourself, kind to others, kind to the environment. Be kind. A lack of kindness poisons the mind and soul and radiates off you like a dark cloud. Instead, radiate positivity. We're all connected to each other and this planet. Why not be kind to one another?

There you have it. Six delightful and wholesome life goals for 2017. Buckle up and prepare for a wild ride.

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.
