1. This year, I won’t spend money I don’t have
I can go without online shopping for things I’ll never wear or use! All that money spent on Chipotle and Starbucks will make balancing my budget so much easier.
2. I’ll go to the gym more than once a month
I need the exercise. I even found this new routine to work off all the food I ate over the holidays.
3. I’ll call or text my parents more than once in a blue moon
They’d probably like to hear from me and know I’m alive. I’ll make sure to set aside time to talk to them every few days.
4. I’ll do all my homework the day it’s assigned, not the day before it’s due
It’ll cause me so much less stress the night before, and then I won’t fall asleep in class the next day.
5. I’ll wake up in enough time to get to my class early
I’ll set my alarm and won’t hit snooze, pick out a nice outfit, maybe go to breakfast if I have time, and get there with ten minutes to spare.
6. I’ll stop watching Netflix when I should be doing homework
Orange is the New Black, Friends, and The Office can wait. I need to focus on my assignments.
7. I won’t pull an all-nighter the day before a test
I’ll do much better on all my tests if I study a little bit each day.
8. I won’t sleep in all day on Saturday and Sunday
I won’t stay out too late on the weekends or have too much fun — I’ll have homework and too many other things that need to get done.
9. I won’t eat junk food all day
Begone chips, Ramen, energy drinks, greasy pizza, and takeout! I’ll have salads, water, and other healthy stuff only, please.
10. I won’t make promises I can’t or won’t keep
Starting with this list!
