Let's face it, 2016 was not fair to any of us, and it made sure it did as much damage to our lives as possible up to the last second. The thing about these new years resolutions is often the same. To shed some light on some of these similar new year's resolutions, here is a list of 5 common New Years Resolutions we all tend to make:


1. Get In Shape

Something that never gets old is hearing everyone swear to make the particular year be about getting in better shape. These types of new years resolutions can range from eating less fat food to going to gym more and actually exercising. Despite our high health expectations at the beginning of the new year, we often steer away from any dietary or exercise plan by the half-way mark of the year.


2. Stop A Bad Habit

This is why we like to start the new year by begin to kick bad habits such consuming tobacco and alcoholic beverages. While there is there a high chance of returning to these bad habits, a lot of the time these resolutions turn out to be successful.

Since it is encouraged for younger adults to travel the world we are often meet with a tremendous amount of support from our friends and family to pursue these types of resolutions.


4. Save More Money

Seeing that we are living in a world that commonly sees inconstancy in the financial well-being of the millions of citizens that make up the different countries, a lot of new years resolutions that are made have to deal with becoming more finically stable.
