We asked the girls of our Her Campus team here at CNU what their New Year Resolutions are, big or small, for the upcoming year. Here’s what they had to say:
“Enjoy the morning Sights”
Here’s what Sierra had to say: “I have a few goals for 2023, but my official New Year’s resolution is to look out my window every morning for a few minutes before I pick up my phone. My mind always feels so fresh when I wake up and I’m actively trying to preserve that clarity instead of mindlessly scrolling. Also, it causes me to notice the subtleties of life: what time the street lights turn on and off, where the birds fly to and from, and where shadows are cast on the pavement.”
“Live My girl boss fantasy”
Brooke is ready to make some moves; “I want to hone in on cultivating my career goals. I haven’t really made any solidified plans or critical steps towards a certain job title. I hope to research my field more, attend more networking events, and do an internship to achieve my girlboss fantasy of getting the job of my dreams.”
“Learn new things every day”
This what Alauni is planning: “My New Year’s resolution was to focus on myself and maintaining my academics. I ended 2022 strong and I would like to keep that accomplishment and always learn new things every day.”
“Live in the moment”
Shaunny is looking to take care of herself this year! “One of my goals is to learn how to live in the moment. I want to be able to not stress over things I can’t change. I believe doing so will benefit my mental health. Along with learning how to live in the moment, I also want to continue improving my GPA.”
“Appreciate myself more”
Self-love is on the horizon for Tiffany; “I’ve been trying to learn to appreciate myself and the little things more! With having to balance college and work, I haven’t had the time to delve into my old hobbies, so recently I got back into watercolor panting and reading again (currently reading The Poppy War).”
“practice all-round self-care”
Nora is ready to make some changes! “I have 3 goals I’m tracking on my phone right now; I’ve been using the Done app and made it into a widget on my home screen (physically seeing my progress each time I open my phone helps so much). Those goals are: drink at least 40 ounces of water a day, spend 20 minutes a day working on my crochet project, and complete my skincare/self-care routine morning and night. I’m also trying to wake up earlier in the mornings and stay on top of schoolwork, but I’m just hoping for the best with those because I’m a procrastinator and not typically a morning person. Lastly, I’m trying to be more conscious of how I spend my money- no more silly trips to TJ Maxx to buy stuff I don’t need!”
“Learn to be brave”
Chaeli kept it short and got right to the point: she wants “To be brave and to do things that scare me.”
