Save money, exercise, eat healthy, lose weight, travel more, these are the top five most common new year’s resolutions made in 2025 according to Daily Waffle. Every January, people are given a blank page with a pen in hand. New year’s resolutions are made, but most don’t make it past February. According to Forbes, only 9 percent of people actually keep their new year’s resolutions. As it is known by many “new year new me” is often said the days leading up and after the ball drops on new year’s, but as the time goes by, that saying fades. This is a follow-through that no one seems to talk about. Most people often struggle with their resolutions because often they are too broad to obtain, some resolutions are not made at all or private. According to a Pew Research Center survey, three in ten Americans actually make new year’s resolutions. This is evident at East High School, as when conducting interviews numerous students and staff did not want to share or simply didn’t make one this year. In most cases, those who choose not to share often do not want to declare their resolution before accomplishing it or it is personal. Those who had not made a new year’s resolution either did not want to set a goal in which they have to hold themselves to, because it is out of reach or they just didn’t want to make one overall. Now let’s see how our scarlets have done when it comes to obtaining their resolutions.
