I only selected "Spend less, save more", because I'll try to avoid some stupid expenses I've incurred lately due to not having much of a plan for my life in general. It shouldn't be very hard, as none of those expenses was on anything I enjoy.

I'll try to exercise more, but I don't think I need to eat less on average, since, often, during weekends and other times when I don't have to go outside, I entirely forget to eat for whole days if I'm distracted with something. Eating better is a different story.

The rest of the goals, either don't apply to me, or are completely unrealistic for one year. The only one above the horizon is to leave my current pseudo-job and get a real job, but there's a lot I need to do before I have a chance, and there are a lot of obstacles that will make sure I only get there at a snail's pace if at all.

Eat less exercise more - always on my list since staying motivated to exercise is difficult. I always try to eat healthy anyway.

Spend less and save more - I need to get the shower fixed and pay for school.

Instead of coming out of my closet, I'll be going in my closet to clean it. MY BIGGEST RESOLUTION : TO STAY ON TOP OF KEEPING EVERYTHING CLEAN AND IN ORDER. (my condo is getting cleaner and looking better and it actually takes a lot of stress off me)

I need to find a way to be more religious. That's something I always have to work on.

Finding a Hunny is on the back burner - of its meant to happen then it will happen.

Oh, I need to try to make new friends.

You've already made friends.

Why even make resolutions for new year's? I think I've never done that before.
Why not start tomorrow with what's important... or even today!
Need a reason for it? -- New years is the reason? LOL
At least people try (to fail!). :lol:

Because, at this time of the year, we're all busy creating social obligations for one another that will duly prevent us from getting anything at all done till about mid January :P
