While most people are shopping for Christmas presents for miscellaneous relatives and baking festive sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies, I have thought about New Year’s Resolutions. I am not a general fan of the idea of a “New Year’s Resolution” because I basically think it is a bunch of crap. It’s a cop out for people to change something about themselves once a year, and the rest of the year they can suffer with several self-esteem issues and have numerous thoughts of changing certain aspects of their lives. My philosophy about life has developed into the cliche “no time like the present” thought-process. If you have something so disheartening about yourself, CHANGE IT NOW! Don’t wait until the New Year! New Year’s Resolutions rarely stick, anyway. For example, my junior year of high school, I decided to be a nicer person. It lasted twelve minutes and fell to pieces because of a snide remark I made to (and about) my best friend. Oops. Also, New Year’s Dieting infamously fails. I just think that resolutions should be a constant occurrance. Stop waiting for excuses to fix your problems, and do not give up on these resolutions once you have started. That means your first resolution has to be confidence, not only with how you act, but also with who you are. Let’s give it up for the new year :)
