Every year, people hype up the final holiday of the year, New Years. With this holiday comes new beginnings, parties, new year's kisses, and resolutions. Every year, I brainstorm a ton of resolutions and set my mind on one that I will definitely do. Some people have the motivation to complete these resolutions. Others, like me, can't last more than a few days. This year I will definitely attempt to follow through with whatever resolution I come up with, but in the case that I don't, I can always come back to this list of unfinished resolutions and try another one out. The top six resolutions I have conjured up this year include better living, getting rid of bad things, and being a better person.

1. Get rid of the toxic people in my life

We all have them. People in our lives that we can't help but hold on to. Whether they are the best thing or worst thing that ever happened to you, if they aren't good for you now, it's probably time to let go.

2. Weight train

Going to the gym is a start, but you will soon realize doing a few ab workouts and running a mile isn't going to get you that Victoria's Secret body.

3. Drink more water

This seems very simple, but it can be pretty hard to remember the simple things that are so important in life, like, drinking a substantial amount of water every day.

4. Be kinder

Whether it's saying hi to a stranger who looks a little down or surprising your friends with a little gift when they're stressed, being kind can get you very far in life.

5. Volunteer

Being busy with a full-time job or school can make it really hard to find time to help others. Whatever cause you're passionate about, this year's the year to give back.

6. Get informed

It's hard not to know what's going on with a President that has an infamous Twitter account. Yet, somehow, I don't think Trump's tweets are always that informed. This year, read scholarly articles, have informed conversations, and know what you are saying before you say it.

Hopefully, if I can't complete all of these manageable resolutions, I can at least make myself a better person by spending more time with my dog.
