New New Year's Resolutions

Putting the standard resolutions in the past.

New New Year's Resolutions

Every single year, you choose the same ole New Year's resolution. What is it? Drinking more water?Working out at the gym? It's time for a change friends, so let me give you a few new ideas!

1. Learn new music.

If you listen to the same genre of music every single day then maybe you should try something new! Besides, you can't tell me that the same artists don't get boring after a while.

2. Pick up a guitar.

It doesn't even have to be a guitar. Try an instrument that you've always been interested in. You don't have to be a prodigy to learn a song, and if you get really good at it, it could even be a party trick.

3. Pet more dogs (srsly tho).

Does this even need an explanation?

4. Give more love.

Give more love; someone out there needs it, and you could be the one to give it.

5. Volunteer more.

Volunteering is a very rewarding job. This new year, volunteer at an animal shelter (and pet more dogs), homeless shelter, or even a food pantry. People need your help, you just have to be willing to give it.

6. Lay off the carbs.

If you're really set on losing weight this new year, cut carbs out of your diet. Your body will thank you for it.

7. Go to 20 concerts.

Make a crazy goal for yourself like go to 20 concerts. Try as hard as you can to do it. You might not reach your goal, but at least you had fun and made memories while you were getting there.

8. Road trip somewhere new.

If you don't love a good road trip, its probably because you're not going with the right people. Get some of your best friends together, make some bomb playlists, and road trip to somewhere new. Make memories. Have fun.

9. Find love.

This could be the year that you find the love of your life. Don't be shy, be courageous. Talk to that cute girl or guy at the bar. See what happens, you never know who you'll meet next.

10. Do a random act of kindness once a month.

One act once a month times twelve months means helping at least twelve people, and I know that you can do it.

11. Write more.

Write until you have nothing left to write about. It'll help your english and grammar skills, and if you like it, you could end up writing articles like me.

12. Make new friends.

Go out and meet new people. You don't need to always stick with the same group of people. Meet new people, make new friends, and make amazing memories this new year.

13. Find yourself.

Find yourself. Reinvent yourself. Make you the best you that you can be.

14. Make a youtube channel.

You could gain approximately 3 million subscribers overnight, so why don't you give it a try?

15. Smile more.

A smile a day keeps the bad away. Just you smiling at a stranger can change their entire day. Don't frown when you've got so much to smile about.

Happy New Year and good luck!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
