6 New Year Resolutions To Follow
Piotr Lohunko

Let's be honest, we all make New Year Resolutions that we never stick to. Finding a resolution isn't the hard part; it's following them. So, perhaps we set our expectations for our resolutions too high. Little do we realize, there are simple resolutions we can follow. Here are 6 resolutions you can make in the New Year, or for that matter, any day of the year.

1. Exercise

I know what you're thinking. Everyone makes this a New Year resolution, right? Well maybe you're thinking too far into this one. Exercising doesn't have to be a daily task of going to the gym and working out. Exercising can be as simple as walking more or doing chores around the house.

2. Stay Positive

Staying positive is a great New Year resolution. Try to get rid of all the negativity in your life. Being positive creates less stress and will make the New Year not only a better year for you, but a healthier year for you.

3. Eat Healthier

Of course, I know we've all tried this resolution. Eating healthier doesn't just mean dieting and cutting out all of your favorite foods. You can do something as simple as adding more vegetables on your plate and drinking more water.

4. Make Time for Yourself

It's important to make time for yourself. Don't force yourself to be everywhere at once. Find a safe space and do something you enjoy every once in awhile.

5. Meet New People

This resolution doesn't mean cutting out people in the New Year that you've already met, it means keeping them and meeting more people. It's always good to meet new people because it could lead to better opportunities and expands your social life. Besides, you can never have too many friends, right?

6. Get Involved

Do something different. Join a club, get a job, participate in community service, raise awareness. There's always something you can do to get involved. I believe this is a great resolution to follow.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
