Happy New Year! Every year, I like to make New Year’s Resolutions that are specifically centered around my hobbies. I think it makes setting New Year’s Resolutions more fun. This is my fifth consecutive post where I have set resolutions for the year. With that said, here is everything I hoped to accomplish in 2025, as well as what I aim to do in 2026.

2025 New Year’s Resolutions

• Finish The Mighty Nein – Complete! I finished The Mighty Nein last year. This was an achievement, considering there are 141 episodes to watch. I’m glad I took the time because The Mighty Nein was a wild ride from start to finish. I’m getting closer to saying that I’m caught up on Critical Role.
• Golf at least 3 times This Summer – Nope. I didn’t golf once last year. Golfing is a hobby I have started thanks to my husband. I didn’t think I would ever enjoy golfing, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I like golf because it’s a great way to be physically active, and I like being outside as much as possible during the summer. Unfortunately, we were busy most weekends in summer and didn’t find the time last year.
• Travel to 1 State or Country I haven’t been to before – Complete! I went to Italy last May, and it was a great vacation. I didn’t travel to any new US states, but I did go to South Dakota and the Black Hills, which I had never been to before.
• Play 4 Different Console or PC Games – Complete! I played three different PS5 games and several Nancy Drew games last year.

Here are my resolutions for 2026.

Finish my Goodreads TBR

As of this post, I have one book left on my TBR that I plan on reading next month. It’s taken me several years to reach this point, so it will be rewarding once I have achieved it. Once I finish my TBR, I will share how I plan to approach reading differently in the future. I never want to get back to the point where I have hundreds of books on my TBR at once.

Finish the First Season of Fantasy High

I have an annual subscription to Dropout, so in addition to watching the comedy shows, I want to start watching Dimension 20. I decided to start at the beginning with Fantasy High and am a few episodes in to their first season. I have been enjoying it so far! It’s been a nice contrast to Critical Role, as the episodes for Fantasy High are two hours or less on average. I like to watch Fantasy High while I walk on my walking pad after work. I’d like to finish the first season this year, but realistically, I’d love to finish Fantasy High by the end of the year and move to another Dimension 20 series by the end of the year.

Get Halfway Through Bells Hells

I originally wanted to say that I would finish Bells Hells by the end of the year, but I’m only on episode #28, and there are 122 episodes (technically 121, but 121 is split into two parts, so I’m counting it as 122) so I think it’s unrealistic to say I will finish this campaign by the end of the year. Instead, I’m going to try to get halfway through the campaign, so get to episode #61 by the end of the year.

Replay at least One Video Game

This resolution is one I’m particularly excited for. When I play video games, I tend to only play them once. I think it’s a shame, considering that a lot of the video games I play, I love. I recently discovered that the Xbox Series X can play Xbox 360 games, so I decided to go through my collection and replay some of my favorites. I decided to start with Bioshock. I am also replaying Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 as well to unlock some additional trophies.

These should keep me busy throughout the year.
