Why I love the idea of resolutions

My Thoughts On New Year's Resolutions
Armstrong Economics

Every December people begin thinking of what they want their resolution to be for the new year and in recent years people have really been hating on this concept. People have become very pessimistic to the whole idea because "it never works out." While this may be sort of true as most gym memberships that were bought in January go unused once February comes around, I think the idea is great. I love the concept of resolutions and I don't think people should be so quick to think the idea is stupid.

The way I look at at people should make resolutions and goals all year round. Start and January and make as many as you want. Try to take chances, be kinder, give back, spend more time with family, relax more, eat better. Make them, break them or accomplish them and make another. I don't think we should be so quick to judge people for trying to improve themselves and we should all take the challenge to be better. Not just because a new year is coming around, but all throughout the new year. We should make goals all year long and encourage one another to succeed. You shouldn't try to achieve a nearly impossible goal just because it's the start of January, but make smaller goals all throughout the year.

Happy New Year! Here's to achieving goals in 2017!

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
