7 New Year’s Resolutions You Can Actually Keep

By Fiona Ewing, The Dartmouth Staff | 1/12/15 7:33am

We’re only a few weeks into the New Year, but at least here @Dartbeat we’ve already given up on our tricky resolutions like “do the reading” and “exercise more.” So, in order to help ourselves and other failing self-improvers, we’ve decided to put together a list of more feasible changes you can make this year to marginally better your life. Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

1. Don’t eat more than one FoCo cookie a day. You’ve already given up on eating healthy, but this seems like a pretty moderate compromise.

2.Floss. LOL

3. Drink at least four cups of water a day. They say to drink eight, but that honestly seems a little time-consuming. And four is better than one cup of water and a keystone, right?

4. Don’t go negative in DBA. Yeah it rolls over now, but how sure of that can you really be?

5. Be on time for class. Scratch that. Just make it to class.

6. If you are late, run! Run!!! Congratulations. You exercised.

7. If all else fails, promise yourself you’ll try again next year.
