The New Year is here and with a new year comes new resolutions. Everyone knows that resolutions are rarely kept. I don't blame them though when their resolutions are things like "eat healthier" or "join a gym". I don't think I've ever personally kept a resolution either. So this year let's all try to be better at keeping our resolutions. To help you all out, I've made a list of resolutions that you're actually going to want to keep.
Eat dessert at least twice a week.
Dessert is an important part of meal time. Whether you grab one cookie or a giant ice cream sundae with a cookie on the side, make a resolution to eat dessert!
Start, and finish, a show you wouldn't normally watch.
You may be halfway through Gilmore Girls, but why not try a show you'd never thought of before? You may end up loving it! I'll suggest Bates Motel or Supernatural if you wouldn't normally watch these shows.
Carve out time for "me time" once a day.
Life can get stressful with classes and homework. So make a resolution to give yourself time to relax. I find it's easier to do this right before bed, but any time will work. Grades are important, but not as important as your mental health.
Pet a dog every day.
Dogs are good for the soul. It's a proven fact. It's also a proven fact that this is a resolution you'll keep.
Read more often.
I'm not talking about actually reading the chapters your professor assigns. I mean read the books you enjoy. This can also fit right into your "me time" resolution as a twofer!
Wear makeup as little as possible.
I know makeup is a staple for most people, but I promise you're going to feel just as beautiful when you give your skin a rest. If you absolutely can't skip this every morning, make a resolution to take it easy on the contour and eyebrow filling. I know makeup is a get away for some and they don't do it for anyone but themselves, but it might be nice to go fresh faced for a change!
Go to more concerts.
Seriously, concerts are the best. Go to concerts of artists you're not very familiar with or artists you love. Just go to more concerts.
Recycle more.
This is such an easy resolution and you'll be helping the planet at the same time!
Create better study habits.
I know this seems a bit like mom thing to say, but your grades and GPA will thnk you later!
I'm sure this list could go on and on. The secret to resolutions is to make them about things that are actually doable and things you will enjoy. If you don't want to work out daily, then don't make that a resoluiotn I hope this helps. Happy New Year!
