GIRL POWER JANUARY 2014 | Page 18

Mixin’ IT UP w/ Hey Everyone! With the New Year come new things, new hopes and new dreams. With a new year, you could (quite possibly) find hope for a new life. What’s a better way to start over than a fresh new year? Every year, there comes an expectation to make a New Year’s resolution. I never believed in making one for other people, so I never told anyone what my change for the New Year was. Every year, I hoped something in my life would change. Sometimes, it was the situation I found myself in. Other times, it was myself as a person. Whether your resolution is striving to raise your grades or hoping to be happier, anything is possible in the New Year. You don’t have to tell anyone what your resolution is for 2014, as long as it’s something important to you! That’s all that matters. I always see the New Year as a fresh start to try something new or to become a better person. I want to try out new things, not just by trying something I’ve never tried before, but also to discover (a possible) new side or part of me. This year, I’m setting up month-by-month goals to achieve an over the year resolution. My KEUP / MA w Montana resolution’s, in the past few years, have been about becoming a better person. Some years it was to become healthier and fit, other years it was be a nicer person. The New Year always symbolizes a chance to start over. Being the best person you can be - no matter what time of the year it is - can help so many aspects of your life. Being the best you can be should be for you and no one else. Don’t aim to be the popular girl or the girl that gets invited to the most parties. If you want to try writing, try writing. If you want to be more outgoing, go to more events at your school. If you want to become a better student, study more and ask for more help to understand your subjects. The only thing in life that matters is who you are as a person; everything else is just extra, just frosting on the cake. Being the best you can be is the key to living the life you want to live, being the person you want to be later in life. Being the best now may seem like it has no effect on living the life you want, but being the person that you would like to be can make the life you want come sooner and bring you happiness when it arrives. * my new addiction The Cat Eyes Get ready for new makeu ]ܚX[
