Last night my friends I gathered
for dinner to celebrate a birthday of a good friend and to welcome in the New
Year. A small group of us had to sit at a different table because more people
than expected showed up (eh, the more the merrier). Being a curious one I asked
the gang to list three of their New Year’s resolutions. One of my friends said
he wanted to get married and start a family (Ladies: He is single and quite the
hottie). Another said she wanted to fall madly in love (my favorite one).
My favorite part of the New Year
is the opportunity to start over but also to create a list of the things I want
to accomplish in 365 days. Typically I start off my list with a goal go to the
gym everyday (STUPID) or something that I know I would end up not having the
motivation or the time to accomplish. This year is different because I am
starting it as a different person. I believe New Year’s resolutions should be a
combination of things you know you will easily be able to achieve but also
things you have a great desire to achieve but will be difficult (challenge
yourself). New Year’s resolutions are a part of who you are, so I believe that
you must be true to yourself in creating it.
My roommate believes that New
Year’s resolutions are personal and private and I don’t disagree at all but I
wanted to share some of my resolutions to make a point.
1.
Buy a new car (I really need one)
2.
Donate bone marrow
3.
Sing in a public place on purpose
4.
Let myself fall in love with someone worth my
time
5.
Save money
6.
Go to crossfit with Sarah (try not to kill her
after)
I make all my resolutions based
off one idea; what would you attempt if you knew you could not fail? I wish my
friends the very best of this New Year. I hope they find love and new
adventures. I am also thankful that the Mayan were a bunch of liars and I get
to spend another a year being 20-something just trying to figure it out
