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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
