A new year, a new you, right? While this is a lovely goal, to make this dream into a reality, start with more simple life changes. My goal is to make 2019 a year full of progress and a healthier mindset and lifestyle, while still having fun. Here are six simple resolutions that are guaranteed to make 2019 an even better 2018.

1. Pet more dogs

I mean really, how would this not help you? More puppies = more happiness. Make 2019 a year full of puppies and it is bound to be successful.

2. Less coffee, more water

This one may seem a little wild, but you gotta hydrate before you dehydrate. Instead of stopping for that extra iced coffee, just try some water and watch the wonders it will do for your mood and skin over the year.

3. Start running

Doesn't matter how fast or how far, but try to add in some running to your weekly routine and the five seconds of anger you get from being cut off on the highway will magically disappear.

4. Take time for yourself

Being extroverted, this one might seem boring and not good. But in 2019, try to find some time for yourself, and be comfortable with being by yourself.

5. For any negative thought, try to counter it with a positive one

There are times that this will be extremely challenging, but consider this one for yourself and your own mental health, nothing else. Be more positive, more grateful for what you have, not what you are missing.

6. Don't take life too seriously

Just chill out a little this year, in 2019 it is my goal to be more comfortable with letting life take its course and not trying to plan every little detail. Sometimes things really are just "it is what it is", and you should just go with it.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
