It's Gonna Be A Happy New Year!
Hello followers, all eight of you, happy new year! A time of failed resolutions, awkward midnight kisses and sneaking sips of champagne despite a good two-thirds of your family having a wonderful time with alcoholism...for some, I, however, have never had any of those problems...any...so stop asking. Anyway, I had a question for all you AP English rascals; How many of your resolutions actually last a year (or even a month) and how many of you actually make resolutions? I personally stopped setting expectations for myself years ago because I feel like I would drive myself crazy actually trying to accomplish the ridiculously high goals I would set for myself (ie. Lose five pounds, read books, learn how to dance...like really dance, not awkwardly move my hips to some imaginary rhythm). I think I may change this year now with my new and improved critical mind, or I may end up analyzing (see: Judging) others based on their resolutions. Either way I'm going make sure my resolution lasts until Jan 2 at least.

Dom, you bring up an interesting point, for it does seem that many people abandon their new year's resolutions shortly after the new year begins. I think that people get excited about the idea of potentially becoming a better person, but then they get caught up in meaningless stresses in everyday life. This year, I hope to make my new year's resolution truly last year, and I hope that other people do the same.
