After much anticipation, New Years Eve is finally here!!! Tomorrow begins the year 2008 and with the new year comes a whole slew of resolutions to improve yourself and those around you next year.
I can see it now...January 2nd...all of the gyms are suddenly overcrowded until...January 11th. Cigarette and liquor sales go down nearly 65 % for...oh...about....4 days. Your Credit Card payment nearly doubles for the month of January, but come Valentines day, you end up owing more than you did at the turn of the New Year.
Resolutions are meant to last the entire year, so this year I resolve to make it the whole year with my resolutions. I also resolve to help make not only myself better, but also those around me!
That being said, I want to help you make some resolutions that will rock for both you and your apartment with my Top 10 Apartmentite Resolutions for 2008.
10. Rent On Time- Actually pay rent on the 1st every month! This will help avoid late fees!
9. Fugitive Pet No More- Stop [BREAK] hiding your animals from maintenance and cut corners to finally pay your pet deposit
8. Won't You Be My Neighbor- Meet at least one neighbor...take them a gift even. You may make a good friend...or at least a great pet sitter!
7. Keep Things Clean- This may be difficult, but scrub-a-dub your apartment one day and then keep it clean all year! I tried it last year and made it about 3 months strong.
6. Use Your Kitchen- Resolve to cook and eat in your apartment more often. You will end up saving hundreds, if not thousands of dollars by the end of the year.
5. Entertain!- Put the loud, obnoxious, stumbling around party days behind you and host one adult style dinner party this spring.
4. Furniturize- Filter some of your extra income into furniture improvements. Stop using empty boxes as end tables and splurge a little on something nice!
3. The Gym Is FREE- If your apartments have a gym, what is your excuse?!?! Spend three hours a week in the gym. Hit the elliptical on level 4 for 30 minutes and do some light free weight exercise for 30...Do that three days a week and you can guarantee to see a difference!
2. Out with the Old- Dig through your attic and closet to find all of the old clothes, toys, and junk that you don't need anymore, but someone else could get some use for and DONATE it! You'll free up space and help people out!
1. Make Hunting Easy- If you are apartment hunting this year or know anyone who is...use us! It will make your apartment hunt easier and fun! And you also may have the chance to win $102 if the community you sign with is participating in our program.
So there you have 10 great resolution for the New Years! I hope you have a very fun and SAFE night tonight and get to relax tomorrow because with the new year comes new responsibility, new adventure, and a whole rush of stuff to take care of!
