This year will be different

I will accomplish my goals

And conquer all obstacles that come my way

Even if those obstacles prove to be a challenge

This year will be different

I will not allow people to take from me

I will not allow those who have bad intentions rob me this year

This year is about proving that I am stronger

This year I will realize

That people are in my life for a reason

I should not dwell on those whom do not want to be in it

It is for the best if they chose another side than my own

I have already realized that it is better this way

Now I just need to accept it

This year I will see

The opportunities that have come my way

And take pride in the work that has come from it

My work this year will help me with my future

I will be able to grow using the information

In 2017, life will have twists and turns

But they are lessons

Willing to be learned

Challenges are a part of life

Those challenges will bring change

This year will be different

And I am proud of the years’ past

They have shaped me

Just as 2017 will shape me

I promise you that no matter how hard the years past have been

They prepared you for this year

I am open-minded for the challenges ahead

In 2017, life will change

It will be for the best

I will be a better me

This year will be different

The realization of the upcoming year will be different

2017, this year will be different

Because I am different

Because I am stronger

Because I am still growing

Because I am me

And I can change when life gets tough

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
