What’s your New Year’s Resolution?
Only a few days into a new year, students share their resolutions and the ones they’ve already broken
January 12, 2016
“I make resolutions, but they’re usually smaller things. This year is to eat more food. I always succeed with my revolutions every year because they’re always eat more food.” -Jackson Shoultz, 12
“I do make resolutions because I want to challenge myself to be a better person. My New Year’s resolution was to practice my french horn every day, except I’ve already failed.” -Anna Doherty, 9
“I don’t make New Year’s resolutions because I know I’m not going to follow through with them” -Anusha Rayini, 10
“I don’t make resolutions, I think if you want to make a change that you should do it, whether it’s the New Year’s or not. I understand that New Year’s is a great time for people to evaluate their lives and to make changes, but I think you shouldn’t have to wait until January 1st, because there’s 364 other days in the year that are perfectly adequate for making life changes.” -Emily Tannert, Band Director
“I do make New Year’s resolutions because I know that I most likely will follow through because they’re usually the smallest things. I’m planning on praying the rosary every day this year.” -Alyssa Vandyke, 10
“I want to be more diligent about school assignments and do my piano practice before homework and have more free time. I broke that the first day of school, because I completely forgot that I even had a resolution.” -Nate Stewart, 11
“My New Year’s resolution is to not break any of the Geneva Convention laws, and so far I haven’t done that. It’s pretty hard to break Geneva Conventions on your own, you kind have to have a country, and so until I get enough followers, we can’t really commit any war crimes yet.” -Oliver Gallia, 12
“My 2015 New Year’s resolution was to set one for 2016, a good one. That way I’d actually have a life and actually do things right, except, come the first week of 2016, I’ve already broken that, because the three times I was invited out to do things I said no and went and slept instead.” -Ronnie Urkuski, 11
“My resolution was not to procrastinate, and so far I haven’t broken it.” -Katie Whelan, 11
“I am resolving to not eat ramen, but I’ve broken it already. I eat ramen maybe four times a week. Ramen is good.” -Josh Sanders, 11
“I like to make New Year’s resolutions, but I almost never keep them. My New Year’s resolution this year is to run a mile or so every day and so far I’ve kept up with it.” -Shelby Wilson, 11
