I have been learning for about a year but am still not that good – by the end of the year I want to be able to hold a conversation with a native German." —hump_day 2 "In 2020 my main goal is to try and not sweat the small stuff and be more patient. I'm a pretty time-efficient person but sometimes I need to relax a little and be a bit more flexible with my way of thinking. This way I won't let little things like someone being 5 minutes late play on my mind and ruin experiences for me – there are bigger problems in the world!" –remeepatel 3 Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF @jumanjimovie / GIPHY / Via giphy.com "I want to achieve a better work/life balance. I changed jobs at the beginning of the year, and I let it completely just wreck my mental health. I want to do better at taking time for myself. On that note, I want to start practicing my ukulele again, too." —betherick85 4 "My main goal is to lose some weight – I’ve gained some since my mum died 18 months ago. Hopefully then, I will be able to get rid of my depression and anxiety too! I’m coming for you 2020!!!" —pholly 5 Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Paramount Pictures / Via giphy.com "I really want to learn sign language.

It will be so rewarding to at least be able to string a couple of sentences together by the end of next year." —carolineb401fcb82d 6 "My main goal is to blow up and then act like I don't know nobody." —chelsiemoore707 7 Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF @womenshistorymonth / GIPHY / Via giphy.com "My goal is to become a healthier person. I know this one is said a lot, but I want to focus on all aspects that make me healthy. I am looking to lose weight, and improve my mental health. I’m hoping this new decade can lead to tons of new, positive changes for me!" —n00dia_ 8 "I have been writing a fiction post-apocalypse book for two years.

For this year, my big goal is to travel to three new countries. Not sure where those three countries will be, but I've got Cuba, Japan, and Bosnia!" –josieayre1 Some submissions have been edited for length and clarity.
