Don't Call My New Year's Resolutions Dumb

Because we all have them at some point in our lives.

Don't Call My New Year's Resolutions Dumb
We Know Your Dreams

A new year means there will be many new resolutions. Whether it's exercising more or eating healthier, we all have something that we want to do to better improve ourselves. Many people try to stick to these new year resolutions as best as they can. Other people think it is completely ridiculous to make a resolution.

Personally, I make resolutions because there are some aspects of my life that I do want to improve. I usually do succeed with my resolutions because I write them in the front of the journal that I keep every year. I find that it is easier to keep up with something that you want to achieve by keeping a reminder somewhere you will see it every day.

I really do not think that resolutions are stupid or dumb. Yeah, it seems like everyone gives them up within the first two weeks of the new year, but there are people out there that want to keep up with their resolutions. I say more power to people who want to change their lives because the new year. A new year makes everyone excited for what the year has in store for them.

2016 was a really weird year for everyone that I know, and I am sure it was as equally weird for everyone else. I think that keeping resolutions is just a way to set goals for the new year. We all have goals we want to accomplish, and that is important to us. Because we are constantly looking for ways to improve ourselves, it is important that we keep setting multiple goals for ourselves. I do not think we have to set our resolutions in the beginning of the year. I think it is completely okay to set them any time of the year.

We are constantly changing and improving ourselves. We are human and we constantly change. Because of this, it is important to constantly keep our goals updated with our lives. That is why I think it is important for us to have resolutions at some point in the year. I can say that my resolutions or goals for the year are constantly changing because I am constantly changing. I am growing. I am learning. I think it is important to keep this in mind.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
