Okay, it’s 2014. That means no more junk food, learn how to break dance, and be in bed by 9 p.m.. Sounds possible, for a month at the most. That’s right, New Year’s resolutions. We all make them, and we all end up breaking them.
New Year’s is a time to start fresh and make whatever goals we as high school students want and try to achieve them. But let’s be honest.
How long do people actually stay true to their resolutions? Maybe a month, heck maybe even two, but they don’t last long. Why is that? Because people are weak.
Junior Durran Khan wants to be confident in his knowledge for his finals.
Well my friend, in order to be successful in your knowledge for finals, studying harder, paying attention in class, and not showing up an hour late will be very helpful.
So technically that’s about four resolutions, but we can just say it’s one.
Freshman Ben Haslam hopes to make the Cal High baseball team this upcoming season. But in order for it to be a hit, work hard, and don’t just slide by.
What student wants to spend more time with nature and take more pictures of animals? Oh right, there isn’t one.
Marine biology teacher Douglas Mason hopes to be more in touch with nature and our environment. Well, I hope that means going somewhere other than the Monterey Bay Aquarium or going on annual whale watching trip.
Freshman A.J. Barnard not only plans to improve her volleyball skills, but to also cut down on eating chips.
Barbecue, original, salt and vinegar, oh and don’t forget Doritos and Funyons. On top of that working on spikes and dives in volleyball, that’s a full plate.
Sophomore Albina McIntosh and senior Jordan Farrell hope to succeed in all their classes and get better grades…just like every other student at Cal High. Well most of them. Here are three words, study, study, study.
Junior Kailey Counts plans to live life in 2014 to the fullest. That means no regrets and having the time of her life.
YOLO! That motto goes hand in hand with geometry and pre-calculus teacher Robert Pitts’ resolution to enjoy 2014. Don’t go too crazy with math this year, Mr. Pitts.
Freshman Andrew McCarthy hopes to become a better basketball player. Just remember to get a rebound in basketball.
Freshman Kelsie Abadir has already accepted the fact that her New Year’s resolution to not drink soda will end within a month, two at the most.
Congratulations for being one of the few people to understand the true meaning behind making these resolutions.
As the years go by, resolutions will still be made just to be broken. Good luck trying to go a whole year without talking back to your parents, or never eating a carb again.
