| Subject: The Three Types of New Year’s Resolutions FINAL Mon Jan 16, 2012 4:08 am | |
| There are three known types of New Year’s resolutions in the world. The classification of resolutions is generally judged by the personas that created them in the first place. First off the list is the “Outrageous, Never Going To Happen” sort. Resolutions that are somewhat related to this category typically involve foolish ideals like world peace, time machines, and pet dinosaurs. The second type, which many are familiar with, is rightfully labeled as “What You Are Already Supposed to Do”. Most resolutions fall under this category, due to the commonality of laziness shared among students. People who make these so-called changes for the better typically lack the effort to fulfill them due to the common mentality of “I’ll get to it later” and “whatever”. The final type of resolution occurs least frequently of all. The “Just Right” type of resolution is the rarest of the three because it involves taboos like practicality and reason. Nevertheless, chatter of the three can often be found within AHS’ halls.
Because of the amount of wishful thinking and oddness used in making the “Outrageous, Never Going to Happen” type of resolution, they are usually created by more unique individuals. Freshman Brian Tran wants what every freshman wants, but with a twist. “You know, I just want to study harder and get better grades.” He said,” But, I also have something else in mind. Don’t laugh. Okay, this year I am going to try to look more like a Korean Pop star.”
The “What You Are Already Supposed to Do” resolutions are the most common among students. This type is usually reserved for students like freshman Morven Sharp. He offered his interesting perspective on what a true New Year’s resolution should be, like “catch up on sleeping”, out of the concern that the lack of sleep has stunted his growth in previous years.
Among other things, the “Just Right” type of resolutions is considered a rarity. Seldom do people make a realistic resolution that they plan to follow through to the very end. Although many do not make the “Just Right” resolution, some still do. Sophomore Andy Kim resolved to “spend more time with family and study harder”. Likewise, freshman Max Chen has his eyes on a subject to improve upon. Max is an up and coming musician. He can already play the ukulele, guitar, and snare drum for Band. For this year’s goal, he plans to “learn how to play the violin" to add to his collection of instruments.
Among all the New Year’s resolutions made this January, many fell under three classes. The first one, being the most unusual, is the “Outrageous, Never Going to Happen Type” type and it still remains an oddball in the resolution-making season. The resolutions created under this category get weirder and weirder every year. The “What You Are Already Supposed to Do” type stays relatively the same, with repeats coming from students that share the common drive to stand out. The final and “Just Right” type may seem drowned out among other peculiar resolves, but it still stays as a feel-good staple to the meaning of New Years. | |

| The Three Types of New Year’s Resolutions (Intro Remake)
As the last of the New Year raves and use of fireworks are killed by local law enforcement, the year certainly began with a bang. But after returning from massive underground parties with B-list celebrities and pyrotechnics of questionable legality, a thought emerges. Should I make a New Year's resolution? To begin, more factors are considered into making the initial “Outrageous, Never Going To Happen” resolution, involving foolish ideals like world peace, time machines, and pet dinosaurs. As the thoughts become more reasonable after the mind-blowing end to the party of the year, the consideration of the rightfully labelled “What You Are Already Supposed to Do” type of resolution occurs. To most people, this type of resolution is made afterward, due to the laziness shared among students. People, who make these so-called changes for the better, typically lack the effort to fulfil them due to the common mentality of “I’ll get to it later” and “whatever”. The final type of resolution typically occurs after having an epiphany on what people need to improve their lives. The “Just Right” type of resolution occurs the least, involving modern taboos like practicality and reason. Nevertheless, chatter of the three can often be found within AHS’ halls.
