very year, people seem to make the same New Year's Resolutions. The list of the most popular resolutions includes:

  • Lose weight
  • Stop smoking
  • Stop drinking
  • Exercise more
  • Relax more
  • Get organized
  • Get out of debt
  • Spend more time with family

While these resolutions might be nice and might improve people's lives, they're also boring.

This year, instead of picking the usual, boring resolution − that you're not going to follow through with anyway − why not pick something fun?

To really make 2013 a year to remember, you could ...

  • Get a tattoo.
  • Have someone else pick a resolution for you.
  • Ignore everyone you can't stand until they leave you alone for good.
  • Travel to a non-English-speaking country with no grand plan.
  • Decide to tell nothing but the truth, regardless of the consequences.
  • Eat nothing but your favorite food for a month.
  • Rent a sports car for a week. (Wall Street Journal)
