Good Habits To Start This Year

Contrary to my last article, 2016 sucked, we can pretty much all agree on that, but there are so many things you can do to make 2017 better!


1. Stop Biting Your Nails

I certainly am guilty of this, but seriously it's so gross. (and not to mention tacky!)


2. Stretch Every Morning

This will help wake you up and reduce soreness after working out and throughout the day.


3. Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate!

Yes, the occasional person does drink TOO much water, but most people do not drink enough. Remember, when you feel thirsty you are already dehydrated.


4. Have A Colorful Palate

Fruits and veggies people!! Not to mention, they make some good Instagram photos.



5. Start A Gratitude Journal

I have had one for almost a year and I love reading through it. All you have to do is at the end of everyday, write down two things you are thankful for, no matter how small.


6. Read More

Does not matter what it is, it strengthens your brain as well as your vocabulary.


7. Be Spontaneous

No good story starts with doing the same old thing.


8. Volunteer More

If you are ever in a situation where you have to seek charity, you would hope someone would be there to help you, not to mention it's good karma.


9. Doodle

Doodle here, there, everywhere!


10. Call Your Family More

They will always be excited to hear from you.


11. Meditate Before Bed

It helps clear your mind for a better night's sleep, an alternative is prayer if you are religious.


12. Compliment A Stranger

It means more coming from someone you don't know!


13. Take Time For Yourself

Being lonely sucks, but being alone does not.


14. Spend More Time Outside

It does wonders for your mentality.


15. Watch The Sunrise When You Can

Getting up early is awful, but the view is always worth it.


Let's kick some 2017 ass!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
