The last decade has been A LOT. The first iPad came out, we watched a royal wedding, people thought the world was going to end, fidget spinners occupied way too much time, and is it just me or is every new movie a sequel? No matter what your last decade held, there's no denying that as a society we've made some moves. Ending a decade that has meant so much to us is a bit overwhelming...how do you cap off one era and enter a fresh one? Honestly, don't sweat it. If we've learned anything this last decade, it's that everyone can march to the beat of their own drum and that is A-ok. But in case you need decade-worthy ideas, allow me.
1. Eat a whole pizza by yourself
Because nothing says "new decade" like cheese and dough.
2. Call your mom
She'll appreciate it, promise.
3. Adopt a pet
Want to promote responsibility and caring in the new decade? Adopt a furry friend and notice the positive impact it has on both of you.
4. Play an incredibly long version of Monopoly
You may not have purchased a home in the last ten years, but at least you can own a hotel in a board game!
5. Jazzercise
Good for your body, good for your mind, good for a memorable New Year's Eve!
6. Download a meditation app
There are some great meditation apps out there — Headspace, The Mindfulness App, and Calm are all great options to bring out your zen.
7. Bake more cookies than you could ever possibly eat
And then eat them all as a reward for your hard work!
8. Call that friend you've been fighting with and apologize
You miss them, they miss you. Make it right.
9. Sign up for a new workout class
Sure, you could go to the gym solo, but group fitness keeps working out fun and accountable (and you don't have to do any of the thinking)!
10. Register to vote
I don't know if you've heard, but 2020 IS an election year.
11. Go for a run
Welcome those happy endorphins with open arms, it doesn't matter how fast you go.
12. Say you're going for a run but then take a nap instead
Your body had a very busy decade, might as well get some rest.
13. Organize your fuzzy sock collection
Priorities!
14. Embark on a feel-good movie marathon
Whether feel-good means Hallmark-level cheesy or Tony Stark saving the universe, you do you.
15. Make a vision board
You're going places next year, I just know it!
16. Join a pyramid scheme and then immediately bail
Because who has got the time?
17. Donate your old clothes
There are so many people who would love to receive your second-hand goods. Make someone's day while cleaning out your closet.
18. Stop pretending you like broccoli
It's ok, there are other vegetables to adore.
19. Go pet all the dogs in your neighborhood
A lofty goal? Sure. A worthy goal? The worthiest!!!
21. Re-watch your favorite season of 'The Bachelor'
The most dramatic season? YES, that one!
22. And 'The Bachelorette'
Or is THIS the most dramatic?
23. And heck, throw 'Bachelor in Paradise' in for good measure
OK, OK, this is the most dramatic one. At least that's what Chris Harrison said.
24. Buy a new cookbook and read it cover-to-cover
You'll be cooking up a storm in no time!
25. Rearrange the furniture in your bedroom
You gotta get those cozy vibes.
26. Write down three goals for January 2020
Because you're going to accomplish big things next year.
27. Make a smoothie
Greens! Berries! Peanut butter! Honey! Whatever else you want to blend into a beautifully delicious snack!!!
28. Perfect your penmanship
You'll never fail to impress.
29. Work on your impressions
Where did all the impressions go? Wasn't this a favorite party trick? Bring it back!
30. Juggle some oranges
Another party trick.
31. Eat the oranges
We love a party trick that ends with an immunity-boosting snack.
32. Design a postage stamp
Because what else are you going to do?
33. Memorize the Declaration of Independence
Again, it's about to be an election year.
34. Steal the Declaration of Independence!
Ben Gates did it, how hard can it be?
35. JK just watch 'National Treasure' instead
On second thought, it's probably pretty difficult. Leave it to the experts.
36. Plant some flowers
All the good vibes, please and thank you.
37. Make some prank phone calls on your friend who is easiest to annoy
Nothing says "I love you!" like a prank phone call. Don't forget to *67.

45. And don't forget her new Christmas song
Also a bop.

While you're doing so much learning about yourself, add the fam bam into the fun.
49. Make paella
All together now: YUMMMM.
50. Pick a new language to learn

51. Increase your balance on a yoga ball

Self reflection is a beautiful thing. And hey, you've done well, enjoy it!

It reminds you every day, give it a break.
85. Check to see if your sunscreen has expired
Yes, sunscreen does expire. Yes, expired sunscreen does not protect you from harmful rays. Yes, you should get new, not-expired sunscreen.
86. Make an appointment to talk to a therapist
Therapy is no longer the taboo subject that it was. There's a lot going on out there and there is zero shame in using your resources to help yourself. Take the first step, make an appointment.
87. Have a party where everyone wears sequins
Talk about an Instagrammable occasion!
