15 New Year’s Resolutions You’ve Made But Can Never Keep

It’s the same thing every year. You sit down before January 1 and make a list of all the ways you’ll try to be a better you next year. About a few weeks in (more like a day in), you realize that New Year’s resolutions are pretty impossible and you’re content being your average AF self. These 17 resolutions everyone has will make you lol because you know how useless they are.

1. Make it through a three-day juice cleanse

2. Alter your diet to just raw fruits and veggies
