Why I love the idea of resolutions

My Thoughts On New Year's Resolutions
Armstrong Economics

Every December people begin thinking of what they want their resolution to be for the new year and in recent years people have really been hating on this concept. People have become very pessimistic to the whole idea because "it never works out." While this may be sort of true as most gym memberships that were bought in January go unused once February comes around, I think the idea is great. I love the concept of resolutions and I don't think people should be so quick to think the idea is stupid.

The way I look at at people should make resolutions and goals all year round. Start and January and make as many as you want. Try to take chances, be kinder, give back, spend more time with family, relax more, eat better. Make them, break them or accomplish them and make another. I don't think we should be so quick to judge people for trying to improve themselves and we should all take the challenge to be better. Not just because a new year is coming around, but all throughout the new year. We should make goals all year long and encourage one another to succeed. You shouldn't try to achieve a nearly impossible goal just because it's the start of January, but make smaller goals all throughout the year.

Happy New Year! Here's to achieving goals in 2017!

Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
