Resolutions for a new year

[Will]

Though it's a little less than ten days away, I figured I'd make the topic now before anyone else could so I could look back and say, "Hey, I made that." :lol:

Anyways, what are your resolutions for 2008?

Mine are to not drink until I'm legally allowed to drink on July 21st, to manage my money better and to start working out and possibly (at the risk of being made fun of) start tanning.

[Paul]

Quit smoking. It already got my dad, and I don't want to be next.

It's going to be hard. You have no idea how addicted I am.

[Arashi]

Forget about lousy people who make my life hell.


Hell! (Pun here), I'm going to have the best time in 2008.

I hope.

I have to ace katakana and hiragana. And then kanji is my main goal.

And Olevels. And then go to Japan. With a friend or two.










TANOSHI!!!

I wish you the best of luck. :)

I would like to try not to take things so seriously whether it be at my job or personal. I have a tendency to worry over the littlest things. I really would like to stop that because most of the time the things I worry about are nowhere near as serious as I make them out to be.

[Nick]

My Resolution is to try to have more Self Confidence and not be as Shy in certain places. And also to start or FIX a good working relationship.

Try and get rid of some crap in my life. Oh, and move out.

This resolution applies to me as well. I too have a problem of taking things too seriously or looking too much into things, and as a result I think I too should strive to just calm down when 2008 comes around.

Like you said, hardly ever has a worry of mine actually turned out to be a big deal. It usually always proves itself to be exaggerated. :)

[Feenix]

Uhh lets see,
I should stop telling people what they want to hear all the time.

Though I don't think I ever could stop doing that.

1) go out more. I spend over 49 hours solid on my computer a week, and i go to the gym four times a week taking around 2-3 hours each time. So i only have a few hours extra in the week, and in those I'm usually doing coursework.

2) Try and socialize more on forums etc, yeah it clashes with number one, however a lot of those 49 hours or so are spent gaming lol.

3) cut back on my caffeine intake, i drink around 4-5 big cups of black coffee (without milk or sugar) a day.

4) Possibly go out with her, she comes over a lot to study with me, and we chat a lot and I've known she likes me for a long time, just haven't made a move.

5) Practice my Tai Chi more, used to do it a lot, now do it around once every two weeks, so I'm going to start that again.

[Evan™]

to learn japanese and take my music lessons more seriously

[F-ck Casey]

to stay clean and sober.

[Louis]

01 :: To start getting more focused in school and less focused with emotional issues.

02 :: To start exercising and playing sports more often.

03 :: To start doing more work around the house and help my parents out a bit more.

04 :: To be a nicer person.

05 :: To find balance between time with my friends and time with Rachel.

06 :: To contribute more to these forums.

07 :: To practice my clarinet more.

08 :: To donate more to charity and spend less money on material items.

09 :: To raise funds for the band program at my school.

10 :: To find something or someone to believe in.

[Christopher]

1) Be more creativity, draw more and improve artwise so I'm confident I'll get into Graphical Design after High School.

2) Graduate High School.

3) Meet some new people.

[Friskey™]

Few things I hope I can accomplish and not forget about 3 days into the new year.

1.) Regain my self-confidence back. I haven't had it in about 4 years, so I think it's time to start waking up and seeing the outside world.

2.) Lose some weight. Try to get somewhere under 200 lbs at least. Just wish I can get a water intake in my body. It's a bitch living with 2 brothers who drink nothing but soda. I tell my mom to keep buying me stuff like water and Gatorade, but she keeps forgetting no matter how many fucking times I ask.

3.) Get a job, or go to school...or a mix of both. I really don't want to leave you guys behind though. But maybe getting out of the house and doing stuff can help me get my #1 prioirty figured out. Meet some new people.

4.) Get my family to accept me for who I am. I don't mean telling them about my "secret" or anything, but just to tell them to shut up once in awhile and tell them that I can live my life the way I want to. Tell my brothers to just stop fraternizing me. So what if I don't enjoy the things you do half of the time, so what if I spend all day on the computer...IT'S MY FUCKING LIFE! Sure, I need to change, but I don't want to fully change and become something different.

5.) Probably the most important part. Clean slate everything. And that means the friends I have here today...gone, including....yes, Angie. I've been wanting to just end things peacefully with her, friendship wise and stuff. I mean, I don't want to stop being friends with her, but it's to a point where I can't have her in my life because it still makes me think about everything. And it's been a pain on how to tell her the truth.

[Dean]

Carry on being awesome and making a difference.

Seriously though, if I set myself targets I never hit them so in that case I guess I'd rather take things as they come, if anything.

[Joeykat]

Keeping my room and flat respectably tidy.. yet looking lived in so my bf can stay round (he has never been over in our one year relationship *is embarrassed*)

Keep my motivation afloat so I don;t procrastinate when a huge assignment is due.

To master Hard on Guitar hero

And most of all to eat no more than I burn off so I do not gain or lose weight :P

[Luke]

1. Loose some weight
2. Work harder
3. Have fun
4. Start a relationship

[Derek The Infamous]

Like I said earlier, my MAIN new years resolution is to give myself an attitude adjustment. I would like to stop taking little things to heart, and in the same light I would also like to stop taking those things so seriously as well. My main goal for the new year is to become less stressed and more easy going than I ever was before.

Some of my other resolutions:

1. Lose the rest of the weight I've been trying to shed off, and get down to about 165-175 pounds

2. Either get promoted at the place I work now or find another job elsewhere (one that has WEEKENDS OFF)

3. Save my money better so that I get at least 10,000-15,000 saved by years end.

4. Learn how to drive properly and get good at it so I can see Andrea more

5. Be as great of a boyfriend as possible to Andrea.

In all honesty man, what does that contribute to this thread?

It sums up my feeling in regards to making new years resolutions.

It's a darn side better than "QFT" or "Amen sister".


I suppose I have goals in life, although I wouldn't ever sit down and decide what I have to do over the next year.

Play the cards as they're dealt, as they say.

[Rachel]

Back to resolutions:

- Get to a size 6 (currently a size 12)
- Dye my hair turquoise blue
- Get all As
- Run for office for Alliance
- Make enough money to move in with Jay

[Misfit Jay]

- Get into Massasoit
- Get As
- Get a new job (Hopefully will get that before 08)
- Lose weight
- Work out
- Get enough money for an appartment

[Daniel]

- Work out. I've had a gym membership for a while, and I've been going with her recently, but more would be good.

- Start thinking more positively. That means no more self harming.

- Travel. There's a few places I'd like to go, or more importantly, people to meet.

- Start a fucking relationship. If she dumps her boyfriend (which looks like it's happening) cool. If not, I'll move on.

- Take up guitar. I've been meaning to for a long time, but now I've got some money.

Yeah, that's alot for one year. :lol:

Cale, that was Vince Vaughn in Dodgeball who said that. But still man, what the fuck?

To master Hard on Guitar hero

Best resolution ever. :lol: I still struggle with medium sometimes, especially on Guitar Hero 3.

Muse > Me.

[Shrazer235]

Honesty, my only one is to be a bit more carefree. Someone said I was a bit too serious about everything, and that's because of my maturity, so I'm kinda hoping to make that maturity level go down a bit.

[Dean]

In all honesty man, what does that contribute to this thread?
To be fair, that is basically what I posted as well.

[Will]

Yes, but at least you didn't just quote some random line from a movie.

[Klootzak]

I think I'm going to get a job... one that doesn't pay under minimum wage...

[Seinfeld]

Keep doing my very best in school.

[Disenchanted]

To live my life to the fullest. You never know what might happen.

[Theazninvasion68]

Be a better student/grades.

Be a better Guy.

Good luck with that. =)

@DryIce- I know what you mean, I'm not giving up any good chances.

[Arlene]

The main thing for me: To be more truthful to my parents. I know that I can't quite tell them the whole truth, but I'm taking baby steps, and I need to keep that up. Lying makes you have such a guilty conscience, and I really want to try and begin to clear that up.

-Continue to be faithful to Josh, and to love him, as I know I will. On that note: make better, safer decisions, when it comes to things with him. >_<

[Chris(tmas)]

To be a more asshole at school than i am today :lol: And trying to get back with my ex.

[Timothy]

Last year was the first time I ever kept a new years resolution (to lose weight), but staying healthy is a constant for me, now. The only thing I want to do better is to try and figure out what I want to do with my life (what school to got to and stuff like that). I would also like to further improve my self confidence and make life more exciting, in general.

[Ryo Hazuki]

- My resolution is to not have a resolution
(joking)
- To better myself and to stop being such a pessimist.

[Harlz]

Get a car.
Get a girl.

Sounds simple aye?

Also, your sextravels. :lol:

I want to loose some weight, perhaps 10 pounds or so.
Get a job.
Feel better about myself.

[Penny]

I want to
-succeed on my final exams
-go to the University
-lose weight
-meet the guy that i love

[Derek The Infamous]

So I decided I'm enrolling in a gym which I'll be going to about 3 times a week. I'm going to get down to my old weight (when I was like 16-17) of around 165-170 pounds and then I'm going to build up my body from there.

I'm likely going to get my bass guitar re-stringed as well (since there is a HUGE amp in my closet) and I'm going to relearn what I forgot and hopefully get good enough to be in a band at least by this time next year.

So two resolutions:

-Join a gym and get ripped
-Become excellent at bass guitar

I think both shouldn't be a problem. 2008 will be the start of a brand new page for me. I'm nervous, but totally ready for it :).

[esaul17]

1. To improve my confidence, especially with women and my ability to approach strangers.

2. Start a relationship, but I don't want to make that too time sensitive

3. Do better in school. I had a bad term last semester and need to find a way to recover from that.

4. Be less whiny. I get compulsive urges to cry on friends shoulders it seems. I feel I am always making it a negative experience for my friends when they interact with me, and despite trying multiple times, I haven't been able to really pull myself off that.

5. Increase my social ability, and be more capable of regulating the projection of an arrogance I am told I sometimes have.
