New Year. New Me. If you haven't seen it already, you must live under a rock. Having New Year's just occurred, everyone is trying to keep their New Year's Resolutions — something a person said they'll change about themselves to ensure a better year. We all say we'll keep the resolutions we make, but they never last.
1. The most common one: diet
This new year isn't any different from all the other new years you said you would give up your kryptonite to lose some weight, especially when you hear it calling your name from the kitchen cabinets.
2. "Bro, do you even lift?"
Following giving up certain foods, you also said you'd start hitting the gym more. This will last maybe a month before you start saying the walk up the hill to your classes is enough exercise for the day.
3. New year, new look?
Is there something you said you would change about yourself? New colored hair? New clothes? Even a new nail color? For me, it's the hairstyle, but my wallet says no. Unless you got the money, these aren't happening... except for maybe the nail color.
4. To be more involved with the family
Guaranteed you already forgot to call them and wish them a happy New Year.
5. Be more *insert characteristic trait here*
What makes you think you can suddenly be braver, funnier, kinder, etc.? Hate to break it to you but qualities don't grow on trees and become ripe for the picking.
6. Spend less time on social media
Until you realize you need to know if Chad from Sigma Apple Pi is hooking of with Stacy from Alpha Chai Latte.
7. Quit smoking/drinking
Or do abundantly less. Yeah, you know it's bad for you, and you should probably stop. But once you get to that first post-New Year's holiday party you're gonna be jumping right back into the ocean of drugs and alcohol.
8. Save, not spend
You tell yourself you'll get a job, so you can finally afford that new living room or take that vacation across Europe. Then, you realize how hard it is to actually find a job, and instead, drop all your money on the first pair of red bottoms that come into your sight.
9. See the sunshine in life!
Until that rainy day when you receive an F on an exam and get hit on the highway heading home from a miserable long shift at work.
10. Significant other
Maybe this is the year you find the Mrs. Smith to your Mr. Smith, the Mrs. Incredible to your Mr. Incredible, the Beauty to your Beast, the Nala to your Simba, the Romeo to your Juliet, the... well you get the point. The point is it ain't gonna happen, cause life is no fairytale.
