2016 has been a little lot rough for pretty much everyone, but that just means 2017 has to be fan-freaking-TASTIC. We all know our promises of half marathons and all-kale diets will vanish at the first sight of in-n-out, so this year, let's make some resolutions we can actually keep.

1. Clean out your hard drive.

I've gotten three notifications that my startup disk is full since I started writing this article. Time to invest in an external hard drive and finally delete those screenshots from your best friend's crush's ex-girlfriends insta.

2. Learn to cook.

Wanna save some cash and some carbs? Hop on Pinterest, learn to make a few meals each month, and you'll be a supergood cook in no time.

3. Ease up on the Netflix bingeing.

Calm down, I'm not saying to give up Netflix altogether (come ON), but maybe try an episode a night instead of eight.

4. Be more positive.

We're allllllll struggling with something and a little support can go a long way. So cheer up, buttercup, and give a stranger a (non-creepy) smile today.

5. Call instead of texting.

THE EFFICIENCY. Trust me, your plans will be made in half the time and grandma might even slip an extra twenty in your birthday card this year.

6. Spend more time on the dance floor.

Idc if it's at a wedding, in the club, or at a house party thrown by a bunch of sophomores down the street; get out there and get down with your bad self. Moping around the bar is so 2016.

7. Donate old and neglected clothes.

Because the Hollister logo is never making a comeback. Trust.

8. Call the shots.

Book a cheap flight to Ireland on a whim, quit your crappy job making smoothies, ask the hottie in your bio class to grab lunch. Whatever you want to do, quit waiting around and make it happen cap'n.
