Top New Year’s Resolution Memes: Start 2025 with Laughter

It’s the start of a new year, a perfect time to set goals and look at personal growth, but it’s also a time to laugh at the universal struggle of keeping New Year’s resolutions. The tradition has spread to include everything that may go wrong when attempting to keep a New Year’s resolution.

To start 2025 on a starry smile, here’s a roundup of the funniest, most relatable memes.

1. The New Year, New Me dilemma

By February, “New Year, New Me” becomes “New Year, Same Me.”

• This meme funny images showcase how motivation peaks on January and literally dies soon after.
• Relatable Moment: The realization that you’re still breathing and that your gym membership card is still collecting dust.

2. The Fitness Resolution

“Every day of this year, I’m going to the gym!” – Day 2: And somewhere, it says ‘skip leg day, and maybe the rest of the week too”‘

• Memes like this always remind you that your fitness goals are always ambitious and failing is a shared thing.

Example Meme:
Image of a sloth with the caption:

• “Day 1 of New Year’s resolutions: Let’s go!
• Day 2: Maybe next year…”

3. Healthy Eating Struggles

“Junk food’s out this year…unless it’s someone’s birthday, a weekend or a day ending in ‘y’.”

• Healthy eating memes try to make light of our struggle to deny our baser urges.

Example Meme:
A dog staring longingly at a pizza with the caption:

• “My 2025 resolution: Eat healthier.
• Also me: Pizza is actually a vegetable, right?”

4. Financial Goals Gone Wrong

“Save money in 2025! First purchase of the year: $500 on things I don’t need.”

• Memes created around budgeting humorously show how appealing it is to spend, when you’ve made up your mind to be saving.

Example Meme:
A cat typing furiously on a laptop, captioned:

• A savings account that I would set up myself.
• Also me at 3 a.m.: Gadgets I could have just never used if I’d ordered them all.”

5. Work-Life Balance Aspirations

In 2025: Work smarter, not harder…unless my boss tells me to stay late, then we’re back to square one.

• Balancing work and life is the subject of many jokes, all alluding to how difficult it is to keep up with new years resolutions.

Example Meme:
A picture of The Office’s Michael Scott saying:

• I’m ready to make the best out of my time.
• Before that, I’ll binge watch another show.”

6. Social Life Resolutions

“2025 Goal: Be more social. Reality: Either cancels plans to nap at home, or …”

• Introverts, and anyone who’s ever overcommitted, will relate to social life memes.

Example Meme:
Text conversation screenshot:

• Friend: “Come out tonight!”
• Me: “Sorry I got plans.” (shows image of Netflix and a blanket.)

7. Overachieving Resolutions

This year I’m going to learn a new language, run a marathon, save $10,000 and write a novel.

• These overachiever memes are about us making goals we can never achieve, goals that we hadn’t plans to work for.

Example Meme:
A person looking overwhelmed at a to-do list:

• “My 2025 resolutions: Doing all the things.
• Me by March: Doing none of the things.”

8. What’s the Relatable January to December Cycle?

“January: Motivated and unstoppable.
December: Where did the year go?”

As you know, months go by and these memes bring back the reminder that it feels like years skipped by since these memes where posted.

Example Meme:
A split image:

January: A person running full speed.
December: It’s the same person, lounging on the couch… with snacks.

9. Fitness Class Failures

“First yoga class of the year: Why is it that everyone here seem to be gymnast?”

• Weird gym or class memes reduce the pressure of beginning new habits.

Example Meme:
A photo of someone tangled in yoga straps:

• “2025 resolution: Try new things.
• Reality: ‘Can’t get untangled from yoga class equipment.”

10. Realistic Resolutions

“So my only New Year’s resolution is to survive the year.”

• Realistic resolution memes for the simple folk who keep it simple.

Example Meme:
A cat lounging with a coffee mug:

• “2025 resolution: Drink more coffee. Achievable. Realistic. Perfect.”
