When I was growing up New Year Resolutions were easy. My family and I would each get a sticky note that we'd right them down on.

They usually consisted of helping more with the chores around the house, being nicer to siblings, do well in school, and save money. Those were my resolutions for probably a good six or seven years. Then for a few years I didn't make any and just let what happened, happen.

Now that I'm older, I realize how hard New Year Resolutions can be to make. Of course, you probably have things that you want to accomplish throughout the year, but you want to write down the ones that you know are within reach.

This year I had a lot of things that I knew I wanted to try to accomplish, but I knew many of them may not be that easy to do this year. After many long hours and days of thinking about what my resolutions should be for this year, I was able to come up with a short list that I knew were obtainable.

Most of them obtained to myself, my future career, my relationship, and new things that I wanted to do this year.

This year was actually the hardest time I ever had coming up with New Year Resolutions. I didn't think fully what I wanted to accomplish this year, since most of the time I just went with the flow, but after a few days of thinking about it, I finally came up with a good list that I think is obtainable, and that I hope to accomplish this new year.

I figured that this should be my year to do all the things I have been waiting to, and I hope these New Year Resolutions help me stick to my new goals.
