Things You Should Do In 2017
Miguel R Perez

For this week’s article, I’ve written a list of things you should do in 2017 to become a better person for our planet. By doing these things, you can help improve our world, other people, and yourself.

Become more educated about the world

There is a lot going on all across the world right now. It’s important for you to know and understand what is really happening. Read the news, read books and watch videos about all different topics and events. You should read and watch from multiple perspectives; you will have more understanding of what is truly happening. Knowing what’s going on in the world will let you form educated opinions.

Donate money to a cause you care about

Giving money to an organization or cause you care about is an easy way to change something in the world. You can make a difference in the world through so many amazing charities and organizations. You might not know how to stop global climate change or save endangered animals, but there are great organizations that do know how that you can help. There are so many different groups that need donations so it’s important to give as much as you can, even $1 can help make a difference.

Try new things

Be bold, be adventurous and try new things in 2017. When you try new things, you grow as a person. You experience something different and you are able to have a new perspective on the world around you. Going to new places and seeing something completely new to your eyes will give you a different view. By being open to new things, you allow yourself to be a free person who loves and enjoys life.

Do something to improve the environment

Global climate change is the biggest impact currently on our world. If people don’t begin to change their ways, our world won’t survive more than a few decades. It’s now or never to start lowering your impact on the environment. Start using refillable water bottles, recycle everything you can and bring reusable bags to the grocery store. If everyone begins to make small changes, the impact will add up and the planet can begin to heal.

Be kind, understanding and empathic towards others

There is a lot of hate in the world; there’s also a lot of love in the world. It’s important that you’re kind, understanding and empathic towards others. You should be as open and accepting of others as you can. Make a difference in people’s lives by being loving and caring towards them. Love is the future and progress of the world.

That’s my list of things you should do in 2017 to become a better person. I hope these things help you become a stronger, kinder, and more loving person towards others, yourself, and our world.

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.
