“New Year, new me!” as the 400 people I am following on twitter will say the night of December 31. I am just so thankful that I have my social networking sites to keep me updated on everyone’s life. Without them I never would have known it was the new year, and probably would have forgotten to set new year’s resolutions.

Come on people, really?  We all know that December 31 is approaching. Yes, I am sure we are all too aware that we haven’t fulfilled those New Year’s resolutions from last year as well.

Since many students don’t reach their resolutions, they often feel regret at the end of the year.

I for one can vouch for the fact that I STILL haven’t been bungee jumping off of the Golden Gate Bridge nor had a shopping spree in Paris, and I’m sure that most of the student body has not filled their resolutions either.

Many people set absolutely and completely outrageous resolutions knowing that they will never be achieved. I mean, do people really believe that they will sing onstage with Michael Jackson in the next year? Do they even realize that he is dead? These are important questions people need to consider.

Others set resolutions that are much too easy to accomplish. Some promise themselves to brush their teeth everyday, while others swear that they will sharpen their pencils once a day. These resolutions can leave people dissatisfied too because they are fairly easy to reach.

And so the depression sets in. The only thing that has changed about many of us in the last year is our hairstyle, and the next year will most likely be the same.
