10 New Year's Resolutions That Even You Can Accomplish In 2019

Baby steps.

50
New Year's

In This Article:

Every year we make resolutions that are almost impossible to keep. It's great to make a resolution to better yourself, but try one that is a bit more within reach. Here are a few ideas.

1. Get a gym membership

We all know that SO many people make their resolution to work out, and they often NEVER follow through with it. Just make getting a membership your goal and work your way up from there. Baby steps.

2. Stop drinking soda

This one is and should be so easy. It's almost 2019 and we all know soda has ZERO benefits and is SO bad for you! Cut those extra calories out, honey.

3. Drink less coffee

This is something I need to try myself. I'm totally not saying to cut coffee out altogether, because we all know that's not happening. But if you usually have two cups a day, cut it down to one and so on. This one is tough, but we can do it!

4. Study more

I am quite awful at studying regularly. I cram when there's a major exam, and that's about it. We should all set aside more time for our studies in 2019. Hit the books, your GPA will thank you.

5. Watch less Netflix/TV

I definitely find myself being a couch potato in most of my free time when I should be doing something productive instead. Watching your favorite show is a nice disconnect, but maybe a little less often in 2019. Use your free time to do something a bit more productive from here on out.

6. Save more money

Saving money is always smart. You never know what expenses may arise, so it's always good to have some extra cash. Start small at maybe $20 a week and work up from there! You don't NEED that new iPhone, save that cash.

7. Start a skin care routine

This one is SO important! If you don't already have one, 2019 is the perfect time to get into a routine to take care of your skin. It's literally the largest organ of your body, so take care of it!

8. Eat more fruits and veggies

Making your resolution to completely change your diet will be very difficult. So make it to eat more fruits and veggies instead. Incorporate healthier foods in 2019, don't change your whole life with the new year!

9. Drink more water

This one is something I REALLY need to do myself. I often find myself three cups of iced coffee into my day having had NO water. We all literally need water to survive, and more than just one glass a day. MORE.

10. Do what makes you happy

This one is so important. Just do what serves YOU and makes YOU happy this new year. You deserve it!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
