Giving In

I try to make it a habit not to make New Year's Resolutions. To me, they just seem to be somewhat disappointing. I never even remember what they were by the end of the year, and some of them don't even matter anyway. But this year I'm looking at things differently. I'm really not sure why. Perhaps on one extreme it's peer pressure--on the other, (and a more likely reason) I'm stubborn and I believe that I can this year. No matter the reason, I am going to make my resolutions now and I am definitely going to follow through with them this year. So, here they are:

• Do my devotions on a regular basis.
• Stop procrastinating in school and even get ahead at times.
• Stay informed on political and current events.
• Drink less soda.
• Stop pointing out the flaws of others.
• Learn to play the guitar (at least the basics).
• Save more money.
• Be there for my friends more.
• Put more effort into my writing.
• Extend my vocabulary.
