New year’s resolutions: one month later

With 2010 having come and gone, 2011 ushers in a clean slate and a fresh set of commitments. A month later, some people have found that the changes come simply with resolve and determination. However, some find the process of changing habits to be somewhat challenging. Here are a few personal experiences from fellow Aragon students.

Student: Senior Sharlin Waran
Resolution: “Stop eating fast food.”
Stuck to it? No: “It’s hard… I already failed it.”

Student: Junior Irving Chen
Resolution: “To cut back on soda and be more optimistic.”
Stuck to it? Yes: “It’s actually kind of hard, I’ve developed an addiction to soda and it’s really hard to stay away from it. Being optimistic is a bit easier.”
How? “Whenever I see a soda can, I automatically reach for it, but then I step back and take a bottle of juice or water.”

Student: Freshman Casey Cheng
Resolution: “My New Year’s resolution is to be a little nicer to my sister.”
Stuck to it? Yes: “It’s a little hard, but I’m starting to get used to it.”
