The new year is upon us, and as college students haphazardly stumble into 2009, the rest of the world is also jumping on the bandwagon with a few resolutions themselves. Here are just a couple resolutions that will probably go unfulfilled.

Britney Spears’ Worrisome Nail-biting - "Next year, I have to learn to stop biting my nails! I would like to stop worrying so much, because I worry all the time. And to learn how to be happier, just in general. I have to learn to take things not so seriously,” she said.

The fallen pop star has seen some of the world’s most tumultuous times but step by step, Britney’s getting her groove back, one resolution at a time. Hopefully Brit-Brit can stick to her guns and get her life back on track.

Mayor Bloomberg’s Earth-Shattering Resolutions – “I always have the same three New Year's resolutions which typically last a day: improve my golf swing, improve my Spanish, reduce my waist line."

Really glad to see that bettering the economy, fighting crime and improving the NYC education system is on his list; just kidding!

So while the rest of us are trying to trim a few inches off the waist line, frequent the gym or drink less, the high and mighty are keeping busy with promises to stop nail-biting, improve their foreign language skills and take control of their anxiety. Oh the toils and troubles of the rich and famous!
