8 Resolutions To Fulfill In 2018

1. Eat at home a little more

Instead of going out all of the time, learn how to meal prep and cook at home. Not only does it feel good when you have the hang of it, but it also cuts down spending in your wallet and calorie count

2. Read and listen more

You'll be amazed at how much more you're aware of. It will also give you a sense of humility and empathy when you become a better listener.

3. Learn what moderation is

This doesn't only count in the food department. Instead of spending 3 hours of work or school, learn to moderate and spread out your time so you're getting a little bit of everything in day. You'll not only enjoy your day more, but you will also become a better time manager.

4. Say thank you and give recognition

This costs a lot less than that fancy new gym membership - it also goes a lot further. Start giving our holiday and birthday cards - people love them! Tell people thank you. Recognize that this person did a great job or went out of their way to do something. You would want the same.

5. Walk instead of drive

There's so much to be gained from walking. Not only will you burn off calories, but you'll also have time to reflect and get to know your neighborhood.

6. Practice patience

All good things come to those who wait

7. Decrease frequency and depth of toxic relationships

Don't give in to those people who make you feel terrible and have nothing positive to provide in your life. You don't need to ignore or cut-off people, but don't make it your entire circle of relationships.

8. Go vote

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together.
