Five Hilarious New Year's Resolutions Worth Trying

As the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, we often set lofty resolutions like "exercise daily" or "eat healthier." While these goals are admirable, they can sometimes feel daunting or a little too serious. Why not mix things up this year? Here are five hilarious New Year's resolutions that are sure to bring some laughter into your life—and maybe even those around you:

1. Become the Master of Random Trivia

Who needs practical skills when you can impress (or annoy) your friends with obscure facts? Dedicate 2025 to becoming a trivia guru. Learn the mating habits of sea slugs or memorize all the capitals of obscure countries. Not only will this resolution make you the life of every party, but it will also prepare you for that one game of trivia night when knowing the difference between a stalactite and a stalagmite finally pays off.

2. Write Reviews for Completely Mundane Experiences

Why limit reviews to restaurants and hotels? This year, make it your mission to review everything—the waiting room at your dentist's office, that park bench you sat on, or even your neighbour's driveway. "The driveway had an impeccable 30-degree slope, perfect for sledding—4.5 stars because the lighting at night could be improved." Who knows? You might even gather a cult following for your comedic takes.

3. Speak Only in Movie Quotes for a Day Each Month

Channel your inner cinephile by committing to speaking exclusively in movie quotes one day a month. Imagine the confusion (and joy) of your colleagues when you answer every question with "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" or "I'll be back." Bonus points if you can maintain a straight face during a serious meeting.

4. Take Up a Ridiculously Niche Hobby

Forget knitting or gardening—2025 is the year to dive headfirst into something truly unique, like competitive duck herding or making sculptures out of butter. Not only will you have a blast, but you’ll also have the best "two truths and a lie" story for years to come. Plus, niche hobbies often come with equally niche communities, so you might even make some like-minded friends along the way.

5. Train Your Pet to Do Something Completely Useless

Dogs can fetch, cats can sit, and birds can talk. But why stop there? Train your pet to do something hilariously unnecessary, like high-fiving only when someone says, "Your Majesty," or spinning in circles at the mention of pizza. Not only will this resolution bring endless entertainment to your household, but it’ll also make your pet an internet sensation in no time.
