What Are My New Year's Resolutions?

In This Article:

It's that time of year: Christmas is over and the New Year is here. That means it's time for me to make my list of new year's resolutions. This year, I had no trouble figuring out what I wanted to put on the list. Recently, random things have just been popping in my head so when it came time to make my list, I had no problems. So, get ready. This is about to get serious.

1) Get into a fitness routine

When I was in high school, I was on the swim team so I worked out 3 hours a day, every day, for 6 months straight. Then I would be off-season and I would lose all my muscle but it was no big deal because I knew I'd gain it all back when swim season started up again. However, now that I am in college, I don't have that perk. I don't have any swim season coming up so it is time I establish a workout routine so I can get back into shape and stay in shape. This is my number one resolution because if I do this, I will overall be so much more healthy and that is always good! I have already started to work out regularly so hopefully that continues throughout 2019.

2) Get good grades/study hard

My first year of college didn't go as well as I could've so this year, I need to make up for it. I am not saying I got horrible grades but I didn't do as well as I know I could have. This means that this year, I need to work harder than ever in order to get the 4.0 that I am shooting for (even a 3.5 would be good with me). I am going to have to establish a schedule or routine so I make sure I get this done.

3) Get an Internship

This resolution is my favorite. Why you might ask? Because I already got it done. I have an internship for next semester and I could not be more thrilled. This will be the first of many but honestly, this one is going to be amazing. It's great experience, close to school, counts as college credit, and is paid. This resolution is complete!

4) Meet new people

I love my friends more than anything, but this year, I want to branch out and meet new people. Now, I'm not saying I want to replace anyone I am currently friends with, but I'd like to expand my horizons. Making new friends is always a good thing and it has been a while since I've truly met new people so this is the year for it.


Well, that's all I got. Those are the four main resolutions I have. Of course, I have some smaller and less important ones but I didn't feel the need to mention it. Thanks for reading and I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and happy New Year!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
