    Eagles....don't live in the ocean. I mean, get whatever you want but just don't want you to embarrass yourself. :P

    I'd do an albatross or maybe a doubloon.

    Get a new job.

    Since there are layoffs coming this will probably be less of a choice and more of a necessity though so I don't know how much it counts.

    Get a job (still hoping to hear back this week from my two prior interviews from last week).

    Get back into shape and drop 30-40 pounds.

    Continue sobriety.

    Learn the fundamentals of drawing/sketching.

    Move back to the city.

    Get back in the dating game.

    I hate myself for being this cliché, but mine is to start working out again. I weighed myself last week and I'm heavier than my previous "out of shape" weight. I fell out of the habit after I started dating my fiancé, and I don't want to be one of those guys that gets married and then gets fat, also not helping matters is that I've started a new job recently that has me moving around a lot less than my prior one.

    I resolve not to say, at any point, "At least 2016 can't be any worse than 2015." Of course it could, and 2015 was pretty fucking shitty.

    Possibly use my current stable job as a staging point to get a different job.

    Buy a house or a condo (or maybe a co-op, but I hope not).

    Maybe finish my OKCupid profile.

    Figure out why, despite going to the gym consistently for a year, I keep gaining weight. I don't look any fatter to myself.

    Drop my sugar intake (again). Find time to work out every day. Fix up the house so we can sell it. Mentally prepare for incoming child.

    My doctor says my BMI is a little high though. It's probably a combination of things.

    I did this after years of living with my parents AND getting money, which I actually recommend - it might be difference if your job gets more than the shit pay that grad school does, but while my net income is zero now, I saved up about a year's salary in two years of wildly irresponsible spending, because I wasn't paying rent at home

    I really wish I could live at home, and I could actually be an asset since they're in the middle of moving and renovations

    Do your chores kids. While you still can.
