I’ve been reading Not That Kind of Girl, Lena Dunham’s book of personal essays. I know there’s a lot of controversy surrounding the book, but one thing that no one will disagree on, not even the author, is that Lena Dunham is an oversharer. She seems to have no filter between what she thinks in her head and what comes out of her mouth. Or, in this case, between her brain and what her fingers type on the page.

Um, how is New Year’s Eve here already? I swear it was just a few weeks ago that I was rocking in 2015. Time just keeps moving more and more quickly! Anyway, I was thinking about what I wanted to say about New Year’s Eve and resolutions and I started thinking about how single people are always reading about what they should do to change their relationship status. But, people in relationships could use some advice, too. Not on changing their relationship status, but on improving their relationship. And a new year is always a great time to implement some changes. So, here are 5 resolutions every person in a relationship should make this New Year’s Eve.
