15 Typical New Year's Resolution Ideas
Gretchen Rubin

After a year possibly filled with a lot of junk-food, bad attitudes, and maybe even worse choices, it is easy to slip into a mindset of reversal beginning on January 1st. You might have told yourself since mid-October things like:

“Oh, I can just start that next year”

“This would be a perfect New Year’s resolution!”

Or the best one yet, “New year, new me.”

Telling this to yourself makes it a whole lot easier to push off responsibilities until months later. This allows you to eat a couple more cookies, continue your infamous RBF, and stay lazy for a few more months.

Whether you will actually stick to a New Year’s resolutions past spring break or not, here are some that you can attempt to try.


1. Lose weight

2. Get a good amount of sleep every night.

3. Begin volunteering.

4. Spend less money.

5. Exercise.

6. Be more outgoing.

7. Eat healthier.

.

8. Spend more time with family.

9. Stop procrastinating.

10. Unplug from electronics.

11. Travel more.

12. Read more.

13. Learn something new every day.

14. Start recycling.

15. Go out of your comfort zone.


You've heard all 15 of these.

You might have attempted one of these.

Here's to a new year, another chance to try your New Year's resolutions... again.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
