"New Year, New Me."

I have a lot that I want to change in 2017.

Jan 02, 2017

I have a strong feeling that 2017 is going to be a great year. I'm not just saying this because 2016 was not my best year, I'm saying this because I am going to have a different outlook on my life than I did before. It's a new year, and it's time for me to start this year fresh. I have things I want to work on and accomplish. These things are all priorities to me and this year I plan to take them seriously.

1. I need to work out. Yes, I know I say this every year. But 2016 has been rough. I completely stopped working out after August 2016. I got busy and I honestly just stopped caring. I need to start caring about my body, it should be my number one priority.

2. Doing better in school will be mandatory. Fall semester 2016 was hard. I took the hardest class and it brought my GPA down. It made me very sad, but this year I will work my hardest and raise my GPA to where it should be.

3. Laugh more and cry less. Instead of crying, I should be laughing because 2017 is going to be a happy and positive year.

4. Have fun. I think I forget that I need to have fun. I'm young. Having fun is so important and that is what I will remember most when I get older. I need to let loose.

5. Not taking things for granted. I need to become more aware of what I have and not take that for granted.

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.
