Every year, many students partake in the New Year’s tradition of resolutions. We asked students how well they were able to follow through with their resolutions this year.

Do you have any New Year’s resolutions this year?
“My resolution is to walk my dog more often… which will be good for him and my health.”
How well do you typically follow through with your resolutions?
“I tend to make New Year’s resolutions the day of when my friends are doing it…and usually I try to follow through with them for the first month or so, and then I usually give up.”
How has your resolution been going so far?
“I haven’t been able to start my resolution yet, but I’m hoping my family and I will be able to walk him more often…But I probably won’t be able to keep up with my goal since school work and life tends to get in the way of my resolutions.”
Sophia Tobler
Do you have any New Year’s resolutions this year?
“Yes…to make more time for myself because I tend to prioritize my school work over my mental health.”
How well do you typically follow through with your resolutions?
“They don’t tend to go very well… they last for about a month, but they don’t tend to last the whole year.”
How has your resolution been going so far?
“I think I have been exercising a lot more which is helping with my mental health a lot, and I’ve also been able to hang out with my friends more, and prioritize my well-being over school… Although I think after a few weeks I might prioritize my school work a lot more and not my mental health.”
Parinaz Sotoudeh
Do you have any New Year’s resolutions this year?
“Yeah…It’s to have better time management and try my best in school.”
How well do you typically follow through with your resolutions?
“…I actually do tend to kind of achieve my resolutions…It’s not because of the resolutions themselves, though, it’s because I’ve brought myself to do it.”
How has your resolution been going so far?
“My goal was to focus on school work and have better time management… and it is going pretty good so far… I’ve been glamorizing school to work on it more efficiently and better, and so far, it works.”
