My New Year's Resolutions, Yet Again in 2025

Goals for the New Year That You'll Relate To

Yes, New Year’s—when the confetti settles, the champagne bubbles go flat, and we all promise ourselves that this will be the year. The year we finally achieve the impossible. The year we transform into superhumans. But, as history has taught us, it’s also the year when we set lofty goals, only to end up watching Netflix in our sweatpants by February. So, let me share with you my New Year’s resolutions for 2025. Spoiler alert: I’m aiming for the stars... and landing somewhere in the galaxy of good intentions.

1. Exercise Every Day: More Like Every Week... or Month...

This is the resolution that nearly every person in the world sets. After all, who doesn’t want to look like they spend their days doing push-ups and lifting kettlebells? But reality sets in quickly. The truth is, my idea of a workout often involves lifting the TV remote or perhaps getting up to answer the door. But this year is going to be different. I’ve promised myself that I will exercise every day. Yes, you heard me right. Every day. Of course, I’ll start small with a 5-minute stretch. Then I’ll probably get distracted by a snack and call it a day. But don’t worry—next week, I’ll aim for 10 minutes... maybe.

2. Eat Healthier: More Fruits, Fewer Fries

Who can resist a plate of crispy fries? They are, after all, nature’s perfect food. But in 2025, I’m determined to eat healthier. This means more fruits, vegetables, and the occasional quinoa salad that looks like it came straight from a health blogger’s Instagram account. I’ll swap out my usual order of deep-fried food with something green and leafy, and maybe I’ll even toss in some chia seeds for good measure. Will I succeed? Well, let’s just say my smoothie will be a work in progress, especially after I finish eating a burger and a milkshake. But hey, small victories, right?

3. Learn a New Skill: Tackle the Piano... or at Least Give It a Go

Everyone says you should learn something new each year. And this year, I’ve decided to take up the piano. Why? Because nothing says “I’m cultured” like pressing keys and pretending to be a concert pianist in a grand hall. I’ll start by watching a few YouTube tutorials, attempt to plunk out a simple melody, and inevitably get distracted by a funny meme. But no matter what, this year, I’ll try to learn the piano. If I manage to play “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” with both hands by December, I’ll call it a massive win. If not, at least I’ll look sophisticated while sitting in front of the keys!

4. Be More Productive: Or at Least Pretend to Be

New Year’s is the perfect time to declare that I will become a productivity guru. This year, I will wake up early, meditate for 20 minutes, organize my desk, and then conquer my to-do list with military precision. I’ll even buy a fancy planner with inspirational quotes and stick to my schedule like a pro. But let’s be real—by 9 AM, I’ll probably still be lying in bed, wondering why my alarm clock is so judgmental. Productivity? Maybe. But first, I’ll need to work on my morning coffee addiction.

5. Travel More: And Avoid the Same Old Vacation Spots

I love to travel, but it usually ends up being more of a “staycation” where I relax at home, order food, and pretend to be on an exotic beach. This year, however, I’m determined to actually explore new places. I’ll book that trip to Hokkaido, eat Sapporo Ramen and take photos in front of the Otaru Canal like every other tourist. But, knowing me, I’ll likely end up at the local coffee shop down the street, enjoying a perfectly brewed latte while reading about Hokkaido on my phone. Still, I’ll keep the dream alive.

6. Quit Procrastinating: Starting Tomorrow... Maybe the Day After

Procrastination is a skill I’ve mastered over the years. It’s not that I don’t want to get things done; it’s just that, well, the couch looks so much more inviting than any to-do list. This year, I’ve resolved to quit procrastinating. I’ll tackle tasks head-on, finish them early, and revel in my efficiency. But let’s face it: my procrastination skills are so ingrained that I’ll probably push this resolution to next week... or the week after. But I’ll get there. Eventually.

7. Be More Social: And Not Just on Social Media

In 2025, I will be the social butterfly I was always meant to be. I’ll attend more events, hang out with friends, and even talk to strangers at coffee shops without looking at my phone. I’ll be the life of the party, hosting gatherings and making new connections. But let’s be real—my idea of a social gathering is sitting in my pajamas, texting my friends about how we should hang out... someday. But this year, I’ll try. Maybe I’ll make it to one event, at least. I mean, I’ll be there in spirit.

8. Get Better at Time Management: And Not Waste It Writing Articles Like This

As someone who loves to multitask (mostly scrolling through memes while pretending to work), time management is not my strong suit. But in 2025, I’m going to master the art of using my time wisely. I’ll schedule everything, from work tasks to self-care routines, and stick to my allotted time for each one. But, as I write this article at 2 AM, I realize that time management is still a work in progress. The important thing is that I’m trying, right? And maybe next year, I’ll get it right.

The Truth About New Year's Resolutions for 2025

As we embark on 2025, I’m filled with hope, determination, and the realization that my resolutions are more like suggestions. Will I achieve them all? Probably not. But will I try? Absolutely. After all, the journey is half the fun, and the other half is just figuring out how to sneak in a nap between all those “productive” moments.

So, here’s to the New Year: may your resolutions last longer than your leftover holiday treats! Happy New Year, everyone!
