As the new year approaches, students at River Hill High school are starting to brainstorm their aspirations for the new year. Whether that be personal goals or just hopes for the new year, many high schoolers are looking forward to \u201cre-inventing\u201d themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indulging in reevaluating some of your life choices sparks change into the improvements you can make in your own life. This could include; getting into shape, eating healthier, stopping procrastination,\u00a0 improving focus, or meeting new people. As senior Sarah Lee states, \u201cI hope to better myself while bringing happiness to others for the new year!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New Year\u2019s resolutions are the perfect opportunity for all those who have failed to start making the changes that they said they would start tomorrow, next week, next month, or perhaps when the next winter starts. However, when many try to set their goals into play, it\u2019s still pushed off to the back of their mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While making goals, it is important to remember to outline practical ideas. Especially for teenagers, it is difficult to set up goals that we know can be risky. For example, I know that many adults tend to set goals to lose a certain amount of weight. A healthier goal for teens would be trying out new healthy habits like playing a sport or walking a dog into their daily routine. Sophomore Jaiden Stoutenborough\u2019s resolution is \u201cI hope 2022 brings better times for myself and everyone around me and to achieve new goals!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, this isn\u2019t to say that all resolutions are unattainable or unrealistic, it\u2019s simply necessary to start small when planning for the new year. Don\u2019t overwhelm yourself or bite off more than you can chew while starting small. Senior Kevin Herrera says, \u201cIn 2022, I\u2019m looking forward to improving my mind-body connection by doing yoga and meditation.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It shouldn\u2019t be too hard to keep up one resolution if you start small, but it only takes one day to break a habit streak. Something to keep in mind is to think of what you want for yourself, not what other people want for you. You know your best interests, so don\u2019t let peer pressure negatively affect your goal setting. Keep your goals beneficial and get excited to implement them in the new year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
