New Year's Resolutions
Schulz

I personally never make a New Years’ resolution. I do not see the point in them at all. Most of the time, people make them and then never keep them. There is always that one person who says that they are going to work out at least twice a week and they maybe do it for the first two weeks or month and stop. It is hard to keep resolutions because we are human and forget. It is hard to remember to do things and fit them into our busy schedules. One thing that we can fit into our schedule is being nicer to one another.

The only New Years’ resolution that I will ever keep, is to be nicer to people. Try complimenting someone every day. People do not realize how big of a difference that makes. It puts a smile on my face just watching another person compliment someone else. I mean obviously you don’t want to be creepy about it, but just mention something about their hair or their outfit. It is the little things that matter the most and that makes a big difference.

If you are really looking for a New Years’ resolution, try donating your time, money, or food to your local shelters. They are in desperate need for donations especially in the winter time. No one deserves to spend their lives outside in the freezing cold with no food or water. Even if you donate a penny or used clothes, anything helps. I am positive it will make a huge impact on that person’s life.

I have volunteered at drug addiction clinics before and even seeing aa friendly face and having someone listen to them helps. Be the person who is willing to volunteer their time for someone else in need. God wants us all to be loved and to love each other. What better way to show it than making one of these options your resolution this year?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
