New Year's Resolutions?

Postby Charlotte Ryberg » Mon Dec 26, 2011 12:58 pm

It is that time of year again: what is your New Year's Resolutions?

Alternatively, what puts you off from making one?

In my opinion, a core reason for not making one is the potential for sudden change. In fact in 2010 I did not expect to continue education, and had I resolved to go travelling, university wouldn't have let me achieve it. Also, losing weight is definitely out because of the workload.

Happy New Year for the Gregorian calendar.

I don't have one. Remember 2012 is the end of the world?

I don't make New Year's resolutions because they're trivial. If I want something done I'll start doing it, no need to plan things out I'll eventually not care about later on.

I never have make any New Year's resolutions except to enjoy the people I love more than the year before.

I'd say I flunked it miserably this year, too. :(

This year I'm really going to try to stop distracting women from what they're doing with the mere presence of my beautifully sculpted face.

Not doing it because I'm already exactly the kind of man I want to be in exactly the position I want to be in.

My goal for 2011 was to lose 75 lbs, but I only lost 60. So I will be committing to losing that last 15 in 2012.

I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure I failed to keep any of my new year's resolutions last year.

My only resolution this year (that I am determined to keep) will be to finish and defend my thesis before my funding runs out. eep!

I have never actually made one of this before, but I think it is time to start making one. I will be starting college on January 4th and my goal will be to have a GPA of 2.0 or less at the end of my first college year. Furthermore, I will like to move out on my own this year.

Aren't higher GPAs better?
