I’m not sure; I haven’t started classes for winter quarter yet, so I don’t know which one is the hardest But if you’re interested, I’m taking multivariable calc, a forensics class, an intro psychology class, an advanced Spanish class, and a seminar on the history of geisha.

Ah, I hear you on #2. For me, it’s always been that ‘good enough’ is settling, too, because I know if I put in that much more effort, some thing more ‘good enough’ is possible. I guess it’s finding a balance between spending time on that, and investing it in other things, like my friends, that are also vital. But as with GPAs, other colleges may more easily get a 4.0. but employers and even the average person will know which is the better college, so it all works out — I’d rather get a 3.5 at a top college than a 4.0 at a college no one’s heard of.

You are right! Most resolutions are pretty much cliche. I know mine is. I tried to come up with a better list, but nothing I originally listed seemed to be do-able until I came up with the most cliche resolutions list ever.

I couldn’t agree more with #1. I need to learn how to be more… accepting and positive. It’s sad that my mom still has to remind me to be nice with other people when I go out.

I managed to get a 4.0 because I worked so hard in Uni. I was practically there 24/7. I’m sure you work pretty hard too, but it just all depends on the grading policy, perhaps.

Good luck with your resolutions! I can relate to #1, so I’m going to try and be more positive too. Although I have become more positive since I started university.
Happy new year!

I wish so much that I could get into the habit of working out, and liking it. It takes what, 21 days to form a habit? That’s not very long. Realistically, if we focused on achieving one or two resolutions every day until January 21st, and then starting on the next one or two. This could result in 12-24 new good habits or old bad habits broken in a year, which would be MUCH nicer. Instead, everyone picks excessive amounts of resolutions and tries to do them ALL at once, and I’m not sure anyone I know has the attention span for that!

Happy new year

Good luck with the goals. #1 in particular resonates with me; I’m a pessimist and have been told that I’m too hard to please, because I also see the negative in a lot of things.

Those are all good resolutions! They seem doable, and they would definitely benefit you. (Not just you… I mean, anyone, really. *babbles on*) Good luck with them all, and have a great 2010! <3

I hope your resolutions work out for you

I’m definitely with you on #1. I am way too cynical and pessimistic for my own good. It’s funny, cause when I was little I was such an optimist, but now I am a very glass-half-empty person. I need to work on that…

Well, I hope you meet your resolutions anyway, whether you decide the concept of resolutions works for you or not

I really need to work on #1, too. I can be so positive, especially on the outside, but sometimes I let the most insignificant things people do get under my skin.
