With the start of a new year comes endless opportunities to think about the future and what you want yours to look like. Beyond thinking about the future, you can also work towards the future to ultimately lead the life you want to lead. Having a vision board to put as the wallpaper of your phone or computer, or even to print out and hang on your wall can help remind you of all the great that is yet to come. Here are some tips on how to create the vision board that's right for you.

Start with your aesthetic(s)

Choose colors, images and patterns that make you happy and that you identify with. You don't have to limit yourself to one aesthetic either: if you want both sparkly Y2K vibes but also flowery cottagecore vibes, you can tie them together with common colors and patterns. Just like in life, you don't have to limit yourself to one aesthetic or state of mind.

Gather images of your shorter-term goals

Whether it's graduating college, maintaining a healthier lifestyle or finding more time to appreciate the little things in life, include images that represent these goals. (Tip: if the image doesn't fit the aesthetic, apply filters on apps like VSCO or Adobe LightRoom to match the colors and vibes.)

Gather images of your longer-term goals

The possibilities are endless with long-term goals. They also don't have to be definite! You have time, and you will figure things out. Here are some questions to think about when thinking of your long-term goals.

Where do you want to live?

Where do you want to travel?

What do you want your career to look like?

What are some awards you want to work towards winning?

How are you going to bring these dreams to life?

Add quotes and words you live by

Integrating meaningful quotes into your vision board can help you manifest these dreams into reality. Include quotes from people you look up to, positive affirmations or words that comfort you in times of hardship.

Lastly, remember what makes you special, and integrate that into your board

In the end, this board is supposed to represent you and your dreams, so remembering who you are will help you manifest who you want to be.

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!
