New Year’s Resolutions

Every new year people nationwide  plan their New Year’s resolutions. People choose a lot of things they won’t do and will do for a new year. It can be something as big as joining the Army or becoming a cop and it can be as simple as brushing your teeth more, watching TV less, or trying to eat healthy. No matter what, there has to be someone with a New Year’s resolution and if you don’t have a News Year’s resolution you must be the most perfect person in the world. New Year’s resolutions can inspire you to learn more about cultures, education, and most important yourself.

Americans  in general have a lot of New Year’s resolutions. Some are very easy and some can be the hardest to do. No matter how many different New Year’s resolutions Americans have, the top ten are always the same:

1. Spend more time with family and friends
2. Then there’s get fit
3. Tame the bulge (lol)
4. Quit smoking
5. Enjoy life more
6. Quit drinking
7. Get out of debt
8. Learn something new
9. Help others
10.  Most important get organized

 These New Year’s resolutions may seem very simple, but the only reason they seem that way to you is because you’re not going  through any of these things.

The whole reason for New Year’s resolution is to make a better person out of yourself, not to do something because you just want to do it. People suffer from mental illnesses; families are about to get thrown out of there houses because they don’t have the money to pay the rent; and people are dying slowly because they’re addicted to smoking, alcohol, food and gambling. People might take these resolutions as a joke but other people see it as a path to a new life and and a gift to live and see another day. My personal resolution is to get closer to God, and I take that extremely seriously.

If you have something that you want to do for a new year go ahead and try it. My point is, people have New Year’s resolutions that mean something to them, and some people have things that they want to try out. Just try not to do anything insanely crazy and have a happy New Year.
