New Year, new me! That's what we'd all love to think actually happens when we start a new revolution around the sun, but let's just start being honest with ourselves. We're going to be the same lazy pieces of shit that we were last year, and that's OK.
Change is cool and all, but setting semi-unrealistic goals for yourself just because it's a "new year" is kinda ridiculous. (Also time is a social construct anyway so nothing really changes in a "new year")
So here are 6 things that I always have on my New Years Resolutions list but I always give them up, so they always end up back on the list. Who am I kidding, I know I'm never going to accomplish any of these.
1. Lose weight and eat healthier
This one has been on my list since I was old enough to step on a scale. I'm sure this one is on everybody's list one way or another! But let's be real, no one can deny the clearance Christmas candy at Kroger in order to even start this resolution.
2. Stop procrastinating
In school, at work, in doing chores around the house; procrastination is a weakness for a lot of us out there. While we would all like to beat this terrible habit, there's just not enough time and energy to get things done at a reasonable time! So let's just accept our procrastinating selves and focus on just how much time we can waste before doing the dishes.
3. Do better in school/work
For those of us that are in school, no matter what age, there's always room for improvement! Same goes for a job, there's always room to grow. But in reality, this one is easier said than done.
4. Have a better wardrobe
In case you guys haven't noticed, clothes are hella expensive. I'm at the point where I feel bad for spending too much money at Goodwill. I want to expand my closet and look fly as hell, but that's just not realistic as a poor college student who is probably going to be poor for the rest of their life. So my wardrobe will always continue to consist of clearance and thrift store items.
5. Save money
Speaking of expensive, being an adult is EXPENSIVE. I swear after every paycheck I get that I won't spend it all, but Taco Bell and Starbucks are just SO TEMPTING. I'm always shocked to see just how quickly $200 in my bank account can shrink to $3.28. It's just too easy.
6. Be more organized
Not only with the shit in my bedroom, but just in life in general! My mind is a cluttered desk with no drawers or filing folders. My schedule is a complete mess. I'm living life on the edge and it's exhausting. But there's just something that feels very wrong after I clean my room or sit down to organize my calendar. And let's be honest, my floor is going to be covered in dirty clothes by the next morning so really what's the point?
