New Year's Resolutions you should actually make for 2014

I found this about a month ago, all things I am trying to achieve/do/accomplish/become for 2014. You can read the full list here, I've shortened them to the ones I think I can actually do/already do or the ones I don't think are stupid (AKA you shouldn't have to be told to do this) 

1.Stop posting negative sh*t about celebrities on social media. Miley Cyrus does not care what you think about her haircut, Justin Bieber does not care what you think of his tattoos and Gwyneth Paltrow couldn’t care less regarding what you think about her diet.

2. Stop resenting yourself for drunk texting your ex.  Sure, its a little embarrassing, but at least you’re addressing your feelings. Not that you should aim to drink an entire bottle of rum then see what happens, but… roll with the punches.

3. Leave the country. If you don’t have money, look into doing charity work abroad. Some programs will sponsor you.

4. If you hate your job, quit your job. Repeat after me: THE MONEY IS NOT WORTH IT. Food and shelter are clutch though, so make sure you have another job lined up.

5. Stop beating yourself up for skipping the gym on days you truly didn’t have time. But also, stop skipping the gym on days you had plenty of time to go.

6. Rid yourself of “frenemies.” Don’t spend 2014 surrounded by people you secretly despise.

7. If you think somebody is cute, say “hi” and introduce yourself. Every relationship you have ever had started with a greeting.

8. Stop caring about how many people “like” your Instagram photos. If you like the photo enough to post it, what else matters? Social media anxiety is a waste of time.

9. Cross something off your bucket list. Sky dive, bungee jump, scuba dive, etc. Don’t make excuses as to why you can’t accomplish something, and check out

10. Stop hating yourself for eating dessert. A piece of birthday cake is a right, not a privilege.

11. Keep a journal. It doesn’t have to be something you use daily, but documenting your experiences is incredibly important. You’ll appreciate it later.

12. Help strangers. “Pay it forward,” do good things for the world — and don’t post a Facebook status about it.

13. Turn off your smartphone at dinner.  Don’t check your Twitter feed when you’re with friends... (Or any feed, my time is valuable too)

14. Cry. When you’re happy and when you’re sad; embrace your emotions as they come.

15. Stop being so shallow. Next time you find yourself judging someone based on his or her appearance, imagine the person standing in front of you saying, “I’m beautiful.” You’ll start to believe it.

16. If you want someone to commit to you, vocalize it. Don’t settle for being someone’s “f*ck buddy” if that isn’t what you want. “Together” is the waiting period between “talking” and “dating”; purgatory shouldn’t last forever.
