What is your New Years resolution? According to the Wikipedia:” A New Year's resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous”.The most common top ten New Years resolutions in America are as followed: 1) Spend More Time with Family & Friends, 2) Fit in Fitness, 3) Tame the Bulge, 4) Quit Smoking, 5) Enjoy Life More, 6) Quit Drinking, 7) Get Out of Debt, 8) Learn Something New, 9) Help Others, 10) Get Organized.

I asked a few high school seniors what their New Years resolutions were and Josh Jones said he would like to “save more money”. Caitlin Meservey said she “ would love to try to be more relaxed”. High School English teacher, Mrs. Munson says that she want to give up drinking soda. History teacher, Mr. Grey wants to “get more fit by running more”. Emma Sampson said “I want to stop listening to emo music” and “get into college”. As you can see everybody has something different they want to accomplish in the New Year. A New Years resolution is only accomplished by three out of the ten people that say they will stick to their resolution. The New Years resolution has been around for a hundred years and will keep coming every year as long as people are trying to kick a old habit away.
