Glenelg's New years Resolutions

By: Jacob Miles

Most people use the New Year holiday as a time to make goals for themselves, whether it’s getting better grades or exercising more. However, by the time February rolls around, most of these goals have faded. At the beginning of the year people are motivated and inspired by others around them to be better. But, motivation doesn’t last forever and people need tools to help them fulfill their resolution. 

One of the biggest mistakes students make when creating goals is not knowing how much they can accomplish. Most overestimate how much they can accomplish in a week or even a month, but underestimate what they can do in an entire year. The best way to stay on the right track is to create a plan. Find something that you want to accomplish, like getting a good grade on this year's final and set small goals to accomplish this. It is also a good idea to be flexible in your journey. Sometimes it will be hard to follow your plan but if you are flexible it makes it easier for yourself to bounce back from small mishaps in your plan.
