11 Realistic, Day-By-Day Resolutions For 2018

Everybody loves the new years, especially because of the many resolutions that help you have that perfect fresh start. Here are 11 easy New Year's resolutions to actually follow through with this year and can focus on day by day.

1. Drink more water

This first one is pretty simple. Try to drink more water. It’s not only good for you but if you’re trying to lose weight this year, drinking more H2o is the most important. Try to drink as many ounces that are equal to half of your weight. So if you weigh 160 pounds, try to drink 80 ounces of water.

2. Be nice


This is also pretty simple, be nice to people. Go out of your way to be extra friendly to someone. Even if you think you can’t get any nicer, try your best to do four random acts of kindness a day. Try to spread joy in the world.

3. Try new foods


Try to go out of your comfort zone more often in the food realm. Who knows, you might find your new favorite food!

4. Start a habit tracker in a bullet journal


Scientists say that it takes 28 days to make a habit. Why not make more than one using a habit tracker?

5. Workout

The resolution that almost everybody adds to their list. Working out makes you feel good and look good!

6. Put yourself out there

Put yourself out there! Meet new people, make new friends, and why not even explore the world? You won't regret it. You never know what you might experience.

7. Work on being more confident


Confidence is key to everything. How are you going to live your life if you're not confident?It'll be pretty boring if I say so myself.

8. Spend more time with family


Family is important. You may not like them, but after all, family is family.

9. Spend less money


Enough said. More money is the better way to live.

10. Go out of your comfort zone.


Try to go out of your comfort zone. Go to clubs if you don't like people. Try to meet as many new people as you can. It can be hard to do this, but you won't regret it in the long run.

11. Stop procrastinating


This is pretty simple. Stop procrastinating. We all like to push off huge assignments, but do you know how good it feels to have a completed assignment two days before it's due?

New Years resolutions are tough. Some follow through with them, some don't. I hope after reading this that you have found one resolution that you will be able to follow through with.

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.
