New Years Resolutions That Are Never Kept

New year, new us... for the first month of the year at least.

New Years Resolutions That Are Never Kept
crosswalk.com

At the start of a new year, we all make a list of things that we want to accomplish in the new year. For a lot of people, the lists appear to be similar. And while these goals are worked on for a little bit, most of the time they do not actually continue to be accomplished as the year goes on. For some they last a week, for others a month, but rare is it that people keep up with their goals during the entire course of the year. Below is a list that will probably look pretty similar to what yours may have looked like for a few years, but that you tend to slip up on as the year progresses.


1. I'm going to work out every day and get into shape.


2. I'm going to eat healthy and give up junk food.


3. I'm going to give up social media and focus on seeing more of the real world.


4. I'm going to work on self love and having confidence in myself.


5. I'm going to clean out my closet and give clothes away to those who need them more than me.


6. I'm going to go out more with friends rather than lay in bed and watch Netflix.


7. I'm going to let go of those in my life who don't appreciate me.


8. I'm going to focus on school and study every day.


9. I'm going to give up cussing and saying bad things.


10. I'm going to stop procrastinating so much.


11. I'm going to work a lot and save my money wisely.


12. I'm going to get more than four hours of sleep every night.


13. I'm going to be independent and focus on me and forget about being in a relationship.


14. I'm going to travel outside of my comfort zone more.


15. I'm going to show up early to everything and stop sleeping in until two in the afternoon.


Happy New Year! May your resolutions last more than two weeks!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
