The 10 Most Ridiculous New Year's Resolutions You've Ever Heard

277

Every New Year people come up with the most general resolutions such as to lose weight, eat healthier, save money, spend less, fall in love, etc. These are the cookie cutter resolutions that make your life better. But resolutions are also things you should be looking to change throughout the whole year, rather than waiting until a holiday to kick-start your new lifestyle. However, some people take an unusual look at resolutions, creating these strange, idiotic, and concerning goals:

1.    Drink more. Wasn't it Benjamin Franklin who said, "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy"? So be happy.

I approve.

2.    Read less books. A little learning is a dangerous thing. Too much of it can really wreck your head.

Sarcasm at it’s finest. (I hope…)

3.    I will do less laundry and use more deodorant.

You sick, sick human.

4.    Stop licking frozen flag poles.

So this happens in real life and not just in the movies?

5.    Check my work e-mail account at least once this year

I’m surprised you even have a job.

6.    Stop buttering my doughnuts.

And here I thought you could only butter muffins…

7.    I resolve not to swim in any swimming pool without water.

Oh yeah, me too.

8.    I will not yell expletives and develop road rage when a driver cuts me off, especially when I am driving my convertible.

This is the biggest lie I’ve ever heard.

9.    Always replace the gas nozzle before driving away from the pump.

Where else were you putting it?! The trash can?!

And finally…

10. I will never again take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

You’re kidding, right?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
