Things You Should Make Habit in 2017
Cape May Dragon Boat

The new year is quickly approaching which automatically means it is a new you. The common question starts to be regarding resolutions or new habits that we wish to put in place for this upcoming year, but what will you make of 2017?

A line a day- You know those small, thick books that seems like a planner. yes, that! Most of us love the idea of that but never get around to it at the beginning of the year. You dont even need that special notebook, you can use any piece of paper!

Get into a routine- Because why not?

Do something for yourself at least once a week- Because you deserve time for your amazing self!

Catch up with old friends- Because at one point they were 'your people'!

Do things that you have never done- Maybe run a marathon or spend the whole day at a buffet! You might find a new hobby!

Do something that scares you or that you have always wanted to do- Because 2018 is not guaranteed and 2017 is going to be badass!

Try to volunteer or give back at least once a month- Because we are all trying our best and need help every once in a while!

Meal prep- Because we all feel better when we eat better and it gives you an excuse to buy a cute lunchbox!

Exercise daily or weekly- Because we all feel our best when we look our best and it gives you an extra excuse to eat that whole pint of Ben and Jerry's!

Call or video chat your loved ones daily- Because texting is lame and they love and miss you!

Get sleep- Because 12 cups of coffee a day and pure exhaustion is not fun.

Wake up early- Because then you have more time each day and it feels amazing to get a lot of things accomplished.

Seek immediate help when you dont feel well physically or mentally- Because you do not deserve to suffer, especially not alone!

Use a re-useable water bottle and bring it filled everywhere- Because there is no better you than a hydrated you and buying plastic water bottles are so 2016!

Make time for the people you care about- Because nothing is more expensive than time.

Surprise those you love- Maybe by showing up to see them or with a small surprise. Nothing is better than a little surprise.

Write letters- Because who does not enjoy receiving mail!? Besides bills- they suck.

Save part of your pay check- Because putting a little bit away per check will add up quickly through the year.

Cut the procrastination- Probably the hardest habit to kick! We are all guilty of it but being proactive could be super helpful in the long run!

Choose happiness- Because the cliche saying is so incredibly true!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
