New Years Resolutions

What I really hate about new years is all of the really cliche Facebook posts. They all somewhat include "My new years resolution is _______ so I am going to stop doing ______ and _____". What makes them so cliche is the fact that all of the posts revolve around losing weight, reading, sleeping, eating and exercising more. There is actually nothing wrong with these resolutions, but what is annoying is when people do not fulfill what they strive to do. As a human being, we all have dealt at some point or another with disappointment. I feel like in order to reduce ourselves disappointing others we should try and reduce making commitments right away. One should think through their resolution or oath before they take on such a daunting task. A very good example is when I tried to participate in NaNoWriMo (for those not familiar with it, it is a month long challenge in November to write a whole novel in a month). Not only did I start late on the challenge but I also majorly procrastinating after I told all of my friends that I was participating in NaNoWriMo. NaNoWriMo is a very hard challenge but next November, I suggest everyone try it but it is so time consuming and challenging to plan, and write a full length novel in 30 days. So I suggest everyone to really think through their resolutions this year and maybe it is sleeping more or losing weight or cutting out junk food, but really try to actually do it.

Happy New Year everyone :)
