New Year's Resolutions?

Meh. There's nothing special about January 1 except that humans call it a new year. If I want to make a resolution, I'll do it at anytime of the year. One resolution I made (and subsequently broke) during 2010 was to not drink soda. I now only drink diet sodas. Baby steps.

Eh, nothing too big this year. Mainly to enjoy my year, and to make some money, if anything is pressing it is to get my license

My last year resolution I completed. was to lose some weight. ( last year this time. weighed 10 pounds more, which is good since I was never fat to begin with )

this year.. I have 2. 1 - Is to get a Job! ( I recently got my mom's bf a job. but not myself )

and 2nd is to try and be nicer to people. My sarcasticness and dry sense of humor. I come off as a ***. but probably won't change that, though I would like. It's just being myself, can't really change that.

My New Year's resolution was to watch ottawa get owned by toronto in person.
Good thing that's done.

We don't have to go far to see the Oilers get owned by the Flames. Every single time...

Sounds like me

I think I'll be pleased if I can just keep my grades up this semester. I'm amazed I can even stay above a 4.0 with how many video games I play

First is to learn to drive, although I can't start that for a few more months.

Next thing is to become more active in groups and stuff, currently I have absolutely nothing interesting to write on my personal statement so the chances of me getting into university seem pretty slim at the moment. Hopefully by the end of the year I will have started to do a lot more useful and interesting things that can guarantee I'll be a good candidate. Although first there is the problem of raising the money to get into university, bloody Tories.

I don't think the resolutions are about that on January 1 is the only time you should make resolutions. It's just that it's a pretty good time to reflect on your actions after a time period.. i.e. the past year. You should be constantly reflecting on yourself and be resolving things but you should probably also reflect after certain periods and end of gregorian calender months and end of gregorian calender years are pretty good periods... i.e. "Overall, how was I this month is there anything I should/could be doing differently in the future". It's a time to reflect to resolve the more subtle things that you may not have thought "**** why do i do this maybe I should change" about throughout the year... maybe things that are alone okay but added up to something big that you don't recognize until you do reflect.
Although I think people don't necessarily do that and just make some resolutions because they feel they have to that they don't really care about.. so never end up fulfilling and probably dont even make progress on.

May also be a good time to set some goals because you have a time period in which to accomplish them

Stop procrastinating near as much.

Oh, and 99 fletching within the month.

Wow, could have sworn I had already posted here xD

I just finished my college applications yesterday so I can only fervently hope I get admitted into the college I want to go to

I just want to get taller. Really. I just want college and more height. Otherwise I'd be fine with my life staying the same.

I've had chances to get taller over the past summers but I've been too lazy to get off my butt. I sincerely don't want to go to college as someone who can pass for an 8th grader >_< Must. get. active.

To stop swearing so darn much.
