Here we are, it's 2008. The local newspapers all seem to be talking about new year's resolutions. Which makes me wonder...where do people really stand on this resolution stuff?

Questions:

1 - Does the fact that it's a new year make you especially motivated to start fresh with new goals, or are you just as likely to set goals whenever it suits you?

2- What are your new year's resolutions for this year?

3- How difficult or easy have you found resolutions to keep in the past?

4- Have you ever conquered something truly monumental (quit smoking, face a difficult past, challenge a fear, climb a mountain, etc) because you made it a new year's resolution?

Responses:

1- I'm usually so busy with finals, then holidays, to put the hours into introspection required to make a satisfying goal or resolution. It seems that I'm better at making goals and planning out how I'll accomplish those goals during those times when I'm less busy. For instance, the beginning of a new semester or the start of a vacation.

2- I have no new year's resolutions for this year. Unless you count the ever-present resolution to pass all those difficult classes.

3- For me, resolutions by nature must be a challenge. Otherwise they seem silly. Waking up to run or walk every morning at 7:30am, for instance. Seems easy at first, but after a week, it becomes more challenging.

4- I haven't completed anything monumental. Though I keep thinking that maybe sometime I will.
