New Year's Resolutions

As stated in Wikipedia, a New Year's resolution is a tradition, most common in the Western Hemisphere but also found in the Eastern Hemisphere, in which a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behavior.

The beginning of the New Year is a popular time to make promises about positive things you want to do during the year ahead. Often they relate to improving our lifestyle. We call these promises ‘New Year’s resolutions’. Most people start their resolutions from 1st January.

"Will" is usually used in promises as in I will do my homework and work hard at school.
