New Year's is a funny thing. The Earth has completed another rotation around the sun, people are forcing themselves to stay up to watch the ball drop, and the phrase "New Year, new me" has been floating about in every ear. But above all of that, above traditions that people sustain and look forward to or dread, one thing remains constant: New Year's resolutions.

We've all had them, and we do our best to keep to our word with mixed success. After all, only 8% of Americans actually make due on their resolutions. Maybe you didn't get to go skydiving like you wanted to last year, or perhaps you finally found a new job you like. But for every resolution fulfilled, ten more are broken. Here are the five most-broken New Year's resolutions.

Lose Weight/Exercise

We all know how this goes. One day you looked at yourself in the mirror and decided something needed to change. You started drinking water and not eating so many sweets, but it isn't enough. So you ordered a Zumba DVD or got yourself a gym membership. This is it. You're so ready to begin making a change. You're going to do it!...tomorrow.

Stats show that around 38% of New Year's resolutions relate to losing weight or exercising, making it the most common on this list. A lot of gym memberships end up becoming paperweights by February, but maybe you will lose those ten pounds. If you put your mind to it, that is.

Stop Procrastinating

This is likely the most relevant resolution on the list, and is one you'll likely hear some students say. We do live in the Internet age after all, so it's very easy to lose track of what you were doing and end up on Instagram, Facebook, or Tumblr for a few hours when you should really be getting that paper or those chores done. Then when you finally get around to it, you wish you had more time to do it knowing full well you didn't need to binge watch all three seasons of Sherlock in one day.

More than 20% of the population is affected by procrastination for various reasons, be it unclear goals or poor time management. Here's a suggestion, get it done now so you can procrastinate later!

Sleep Better

It's a common fact that people, more often than not, generally don't get enough sleep. On average, humans spend 33% of their lives asleep so anything less can have some less-than-pleasant effects on your physical and mental well-being. While there is certainly nothing wrong with being a night owl, we need our beauty sleep. But life's obligations have something to say about that as well. Maybe it's an 8 AM class (been there, it's brutal) or you couldn't sleep. Habits are hard to break, even for something as "easy" as a sleep schedule.

Get Organized

Ironically, organizing yourself to be more organized isn't that easy either. Stats show that around 50% of New Year's resolutions fall into the self-improvement/education category, which is certainly the case here. And I can tell you this from experience, the tough thing about trying to get organized is finding just how much stuff you really have to juggle. It could be school, work, hobbies, friends, sleep, in addition to any number of things.

It's not something you can become a master at overnight like learning how to flip a quarter through your fingers. It takes time, but learning to organize your time is most certainly the first step.

Save Money

This one is pretty easy to know why it's so hard to keep: we like things! You have over $2000 in your savings account, but that really like that leather jacket on sale for $70. Surely a little withdrawal couldn't hurt, right? But you withdrew $100 because that was all the machine would allow. You should put it back, but everyone is going to see that hot new movie coming out this weekend... See where this is going?

About a third of all resolutions made are money-related, but it being on this list may give you an idea of how it ends up. Trust me, try to get into the habit of not spending the whole dollar. Your 401K will thank me in ten years.

New Year's resolutions are a funny thing. But amidst all the somewhat depressing stats I've been dishing out, here's a good one. People who make resolutions are ten times more likely to achieve them than those who do not, and around half the people who make resolutions maintain them after six months. So don't be afraid of resolutions. After all, it is a new year. Perhaps it's time to really emphasize the "new" part.
