New Year, Better Me

New Year, Better Me
itsecurityguru.org

Let me hop onto the New Years Resolution bandwagon, and then hitch that bandwagon to the "New year, new me" bandwagon, and then I'll hook that one onto the "I'm going to be healthy this year" bandwagon, because thats exactly what I'm doing.

I just want to be... better. Better attitude (okay yeah I'll probably still be a sarcastic, cat-loving asshole but that's not the point), better health choices, better stress management, better everything!

Okay, first thing first. The most important thing I want to better about myself in 2017 is my health. And yes, part of it is the cliche "I'm going to lose a bunch of weight" resolution, but it's also my overall health. I am that friend of yours who is ALWAYS (and I mean always) sick. I always have a stuffy nose, am coughing up a lung, or am just casually dying of some unidentifiable virus that no doctor actually knows how to help (this actually just happened to me, I'm not overreacting). I'm going to invest in a multivitamin and start taking that religiously. And on top of that I am going to start living a healthier lifestyle in terms of my relationship with food and exercise.

My attitude is usually fine, so I guess it's more focused on my attitude when I'm not fine, and how I process being upset. I don't want to keep my emotions pent up, so this year I am going to do my best to speak my mind (in the most polite way possible) whenever I am upset, so I don't have these negative feelings coursing through me. This also goes into my stress management issue, because as a college student I am stresssssssed. Less procrastinating, and I will make sure I find some time to unwind and take a load of.

This year is about me. Healthy body. Healthy mind. Healthy me.

So long 2016, I've welcomed 2017 with open arms!

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.
