New Year, New You

The 2014 year has come to an end and Sinclair students share their New Year’s resolutions for 2015. However some students have not considered their resolutions yet due to the overwhelming stress of last semester finals and the holidays.
“Honestly I haven’t even thought of one,” said John Parker, music major, when asked about his resolution for 2015. He did share a past resolution,
“Always help others that are in need.”
This resolution is a common aspiration that can be on the top of everybody ’s list.

Others, like chemistry student, Jayeola Apapa, have their goals set for 2015, “I would like to lose some weight,” she said.
This resolution is one of the most popular ones of the season, but not the easiest to follow through with. However, Apapa is confident her goal will be attained judging by how she followed through with past year’s resolutions.
“Why would I promise I am going to exercise more, if I’m not going to?” said Amber Jones, an English major, when talking about how she does not always uphold her resolutions.
Jones confessed how she hasn’t promised a resolution yet for 2015 because she may not follow through with it. For many of us this is the case, and consistency with your goals along with daily reminders will keep you on track.
“I plan to get better grades so I can get a scholarship next year,” said theatre student, Jai-Ln Stafford.
He wants to be a better student and continue on his path for a successful college career.
On a more intrinsic note, some students strive for positivity in their life.
“I want to learn how to separate myself from negative influences, and not put myself in situations where bad things might happen”, said Yahziyl Palmer, a civil engineering student, that seeks happiness in 2015.
Communication major, Asterlyn Smith, shared a similar goal, “My New Year’s resolution will be to let the beauty in my life overwhelm the negativity.”
New Year’s resolutions are meant to give inspiration for our lives, and they are not meant to overwhelm us. This year make your resolution practical and worthwhile, so you will not become discouraged if you do not meet a goal.
Being fulfilled can simply be your New Year’s resolution
