With 2019 behind us at last, there’s no better way to start the new year than with the infamous tradition of NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS! Remember the hottie you said you were gonna ask out after watching him from across the room in math for three years? Or that promise you alamade to yourself to start going to sleep earlier? Or even the pledge that you would start eating healthier and maybe hit the gym a few times a week? Oh, you don’t remember? Ah welp. You probably forgot about them after failing to actually attempt them. Considering how old you are right now, that’s like… way too many failures for your sanity’s well-being! Alas, it’s no surprise that you’ve become discouraged and at a loss for realistic goals (because everyone knows that actually leaving your house to work out is too daunting of a task).

But fear not! Provided below is a generator, courtesy of The Spectator, that will create realistic, individually-tailored resolutions to determine your goal for the beginning of a new decade for a new you! Just follow this simple equation (shouldn’t be that hard! We are a math school after all… I hope):
