“3… 2… 1… Happy New Year! Great celebration, but now to the gym to work off all those Christmas cookies so I can start my resolution. Shoot, I also said I would get up early every morning to go to the gym, but it’s already 11. Is it even worth it? Probably not. I’ll just start tomorrow. Yeah, that works.”

Some are not this person when it comes to New Year’s resolutions, but others most definitely are. Before the ball drops, most people already have their New Year’s Resolution in mind. Usually it is something they are going to do in the upcoming year to better themselves or others. The majority of the time resolutions are along the same lines, for example, lose weight, drink less pop, stop swearing, eating healthy or helping others. Every year there are some oddballs though, but people still stick to them. Here are a few bizarre resolutions from Twitter just this year:

• “Not die. Oh and list or sell a million dollar home. That too.”
• “Eat less bacon.”
• “Read articles completely and close tabs and not let them linger throughout the day.”
• “I will wear the same bikini in all my selfies.”
• “Increase my relationship status from Forever Alone to Slightly Desperate.”
• “Learn the difference between ‘effect’ and ‘affect.’ Learn how to clone Nutella. Buy a boat. Preferably inflatable.”

People usually make their resolution as a promise to themselves, so their lives will get better. Common or uncommon, bizarre or regular, the person is still supposed to stick with it from Jan. 1 until as long as they possibly can. Although, most do not. According to Statisticbrain.com only 41 percent of the population make New Years Resolutions, and of that percent only 9.2 percent actually follow through with their resoltuions. Making a resolution is all fun and games until the person actually has to do it, and most of the time people are not following through.
