With every passing year, I always make a list of resolutions that I always intend to follow through on. However, I usually can't seem to keep up with most of my resolutions for more than a couple of weeks. Here are some resolutions that I have made almost every year, as well as broken every year.

1. "I'm going to get in shape."

Every year, I say that I'm going to go to the gym, start running, lift weights, etc., but by the end of the year, the closest I get to actually working out is speed walking through the mall while christmas shopping.

2. "I'm going to eat healthier."

Similar to working out, eating healthy never actually happens. I can already bet that I'll be giving this resolution up 3 days into 2016.

3. "I'm going to study more."

This is a resolution that I never go through with, even though I should. As much as I need the studying, I would much rather study the 7th season of Grey's Anatomy on Netflix.

4. "I'm going to save my money."

I always say that I'm going to save whatever money I get over the holidays, but then I tend to blow it all on food. Oops.

5. "I'm going to watch less Netflix."

Haha, good one. Maybe next year.

6. "I'm going to learn to be a neater person."

I always try, but living in a shoebox of a dorm makes it a little hard to stay neat.

7. "I'm going to spend more time with my family."

This is a resolution I usually don't mean to break. Being 300 miles away from home makes it a lot harder to spend time with family whenever I'm homesick, no matter how much time I actually want to spend with them.

8. "I'm going to travel more."

This is something my friends and I always say, until we realize that we are all broke and none of us actually have the time for it.

9. "I'm going to stop oversleeping."

.. And then you realize how bad of an idea it was to take an 8:30 lab. How long will this last? Probably a week into the new semester.

10. "I'm going to get a job."

Even though I desperately need the money, I probably won't actually go through with applying for a job until I'm living off of ramen.

11. "I'm going to get more involved on campus."

No matter how much I want to get more involved on campus, I always get sucked back into my old routines, and never actually get my foot through the door when it comes to joining new clubs.

Every year, we make these resolutions in hopes that it will make us more productive, make us a better person, make us a better version of ourselves, etc. However, even though most of those resolutions don't last for more than a month, they're still something necessary to make every year, and it's fun seeing how long you can keep up with them.
