New Year’s Resolutions
“It’s a new start, new beginning. You get a clean slate.” Mallory Tewell, freshman said.
Unfortunately, resolutions aren’t as simple as hoping this year will be better. Resolutions come in all shapes and sizes. You have to pick a resolution that is right for you.
“[My resolution is] to stay on top of grades and school work and try to exercise and eat more healthy.” Amanda Sergent, senior, said.
Many goals for the New Year relate to health or education.
Freshman Dajon Brown’s goal is to get “All A’s and to be the best at basketball as a freshman.”
The challenge is to figure out what you want to do better. It’s not easy to admit you are a flawed person, but the truth is nobody’s perfect. Still even when we know we have flaws some just don’t seem ‘resolution worthy’.
“I can’t really think of anything at the moment that I need to improve on.” Tewell said.
Even though New Year’s Day has passed, it’s not too late to figure out something to make better in your life. Something little like promising to write every day, no matter how little, is a perfect resolution. Not every resolution has to be a metaphorical Mount Everest; it can simply be deciding you are going to spend more time doing something that you like to do.
“I think any time is a good time to make a resolution…as long as you have the determination to stick with that resolution.” Sergent said.
Make your resolution all about you, whether it’s something you want to accomplish, or something you just want to do on a regular basis. A resolution is simply a promise to yourself.
