All of us know what it's like to be asked what our New Years resolutions are every January 1st.

We are usually excited to list out all of the promises and goals we have made for ourselves. We're always looking forward to becoming the person we have dreamed about being. With the New Year acting as a fresh start, we're eager to become that person immediately.

Unfortunately, most of us give up on our resolutions by February. Change takes time and it isn't realistic to expect that change to happen as soon as the ball drops on New Year's Eve.

In 2019, finally challenge yourself.

Simply making resolutions is not enough. Acting on them is what takes time and commitment.

When you fail (and you will fail), pick yourself back up and start over. Don't choose to wait until the following New Year to try again or else you may never see those changes happen.

The New Year gives you a reason to get motivated to make changes in your life. Staying motivated is up to you.

Now that you have a list of what you want to see done in your life since 2019 just started, keep it somewhere safe. Keep it somewhere where you can check back in on it at the end of every month or so.

Make sure that you are on the right track to your goals and reassess what needs to be done in your life throughout the year.

2019 is a blank chapter in the book of your life. You have the power to make a real difference this year.

Don't bring the burden of another failed resolution into 2020. Bring the best version of yourself to the next New Year.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
