Resign: It's from being resigned to doing or not doing something.....a rather negative take on a situation.

You say resign yourself to something because you are not in control of it-giving in!

Resign is correct -
6. to submit (oneself, one's mind, etc.) without resistance.
Reside:
1to dwell permanently or for a considerable time: She resides at 15 Maple Street.
- which doesn't make sense!

This is one of the many proofs of the value of an education, paying attention in school, etc. When people learn how to PRONOUNCE and SPELL correctly, these problems go away. Something else that YOU can do: try Googling 'dictionary' and 'thesaurus' in a search-engine, then 'Bookmark' the results for future use.
