The New Year, New You

Here's to the new ear! That means a new year, a new me. A new way of coming up with new ways of bettering myself and health. Though it is the beginning of the new year, we usually end up coming up with New Resolutions that we sometimes don't always complete or get to do because of financial issues, or just plain out lazy. Well, how about we start out fresh this year with a simple new years resolution. A simple one like Acing that one Philosophy or Anatomy course that you heard from past students that it is complicated to pass. Why not just make that your new years resolution rather than something difficult that sometimes you won't be able to complete because of financial problems, or just because we have a busy schedule all year. It could also be your new year's resolution to make more time for other things like travel or even going to that wedding expo or that spontaneous road trip adventure you've been planning since the first year that you have yet to take. Why not that one? Why not that one?

Well, we can't really do that one because we don't have a lot of time on our hands. Unless you're rich, and you are able to do any type of spontaneous road trip when you want, but if that's the case, good for you! We all wish we could be like you, but sadly we aren't all like you and have to slave over a 500-1000 page book for our midterms, and we don't get free time until we complete that book or assignment. All work and no play makes us a dull girl or boy. Ahem, I'm sorry, that was out of line. Anyway, back to what we were talking about, ( dull girl or boy...) Agh! Stop it! (Okay...). Okay, it may have stopped for now, (Hopefully it's stopped.) So, even though it is the beginning of a new year, we strive over different ways to better ourselves and our lives. If you want to cut down on eating a lot of carbs, then, by all means, do that. After all, it is your new year's resolution. If you want to go work out at the gym and make sure you have the Baby got back bubble well taken care of, then keep going at it. You got this, sugar.

If it is your new year's resolution to better yourself by making it a goal this year to save money, then do it! Save as much as you can to make that dream trip across Europe happen. You never know what will happen if you don't go for it and see what happened. Remember, 2016 may have been horrible for you, but that doesn't mean 2017 will be the worse. It's up to you to make 2017 the greatest or the worse. We can't decide for you, only you can make it happen. So, get up now and go do it or else, All work and no play makes us all a dull girl and boy.

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.
