New Years Resolutions

Post by Coryman »

Anyone got any resolutions worth sharing or discussing for the upcoming year?
I'm thinking of trying a no/low sugar diet, though that'll have to wait until my Christmas chocolate runs out, haha.

I want to gain muscle and learn how to ice skate. Being at the right weight's cool, but I could stand having a little more definition.

I will finally get a job.

Like I think that's big enough I shouldn't worry about anything else.

Well that was a good 8 minutes without sugar.
Seriously though, I'll start when I run out of chocolate

Many years ago, I made a new year's resolution never to make any new year's resolutions again. I am sticking to it quite well.

I made that same resolution as well, but then a few years ago I made a resolution (may or may not have been around new years) to make resolutions all year.

So, if we're just talking about stuff we hope to accomplish in the next year, this is my list:
  • don't finish all the games I got for christmas within the first six months
  • finish high school
  • achieve the CompTIA A+ Cert
  • go to college, major a computer-related degree, take spanish and chinese as minors
  • meet my best friend

For humor purposes, of course.

Besides. Your post calling me out on it is just as pointless. :P

In all seriousness, I'd like to get back to doing more volunteer work... if I can *find* anything. Not easy when you live in a small town and have no transportation to speak of. But hey.

I'm in the same boat as pholtos, major life events-wise.

Once that happens or even before that happens though, I do have some other things I want to do this year:
  • Go back to college and get some learning
  • Learn some programming
  • Learn some arting
  • Obtain a better potato than one I have now
  • Finish 25+ more games by December

I got a job for a whole day before realizing that I physically and mentally was not at all set for it.

So... sorta?

Nope!

But I made a lot of friends at Discordhaus. So I'd say I succeeded this year anyhow. :3

I hurt my arm in March and never really did much other than maintain my muscle mass. Still have never ice skated, but I bought a new mic and put in the work to try and get into acting a bit. I'd call my resolutions failures, but I found other things I didn't know that I wanted to do going into 2017 that worked themselves out instead.

Tbh I completely forgot about this thread until now...
I went like 4 months probably with nearly no sugar (I was peer pressured into it once when my homeroom teacher made cookies, I didn't want to be rude), then I kinda forgot it was even a thing?
Now I think about it though, up until late summer at least, I didn't really have much sugar, and at university I had almost none, so... I'll consider it a partial victory

Yeah. Edited the title to reflect it. Here are mine.

1) Do at least a light workout every day this year.

2) Quit stressing so much over things outside of my control.

3a) Use social media (Twitter) more sparingly.
3b) Don't rush to offer my two cents/help when you know people don't need it.

4) Cut down on the caffeine.

Extra) Upload 75-100 gaming vids on YT if I have the time.

1-3a are going well. I've messed up once on 3b and 4 is a grind. The extra goal at the time of this post is currently at zero vids twenty days into the year. Great job there, me.

I've started a blog, and my resolution was basically to post something every day. I ran out of stuff to talk about like a week in, so now it's a mix of weird rambley topics and stuff like drawing videos :P
