With every year comes the typical New Year’s Resolution and with those come the typical resolutions. Everyone seems to have a resolution to lose weight and to eat better then a few weeks later it gets lost.
Well making a resolution that is something from the typical run of the mill resolution would be better and different from everyone else. When I was younger one of my friends made a resolution to learn how to juggle. It was something she always wanted to do and a skill not completely necessary, yet it was interesting to her. In a few months with practice she was able to juggle. Yes we were around 12 not 20, but it was different and definitely a memorable resolution.
Maybe learning to juggle may not seem important to you so you can do something more centered on school and something that may be obtainable.
· Actually go to that pesky 8 am even though bed is way more comfortable
· Go to all of your classes even those where the professor just reads the power point you never know when extra credit may be given
· Visit the library (not the bar) before the week of finals
· Get exercise without having to go to the gym, there is a reason Western’s campus is considered a “walking campus”.
· Read all the readings assigned in class see if it helps your grade
There are definitely other resolutions that just take a little bit of thinking. It is true that January has already started, but the year is still new. There is over 350 days to make and keep or break a resolution so why not make one now? You may want to lose weight and eat healthier, but make those life style changes not resolutions.
Make a resolution something to do with school or something completely random. Just make a resolution that is unique to you and something different. I’m choosing to complete all the assigned for my classes. What will you do? Leave us a comment!
