I’m not a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions. To a large extent, I kind of feel like if there’s something wrong with your life it really is better to fix it immediately. And if it’s something for which one needs a particular time to start, to commit with oneself, it’s going to be tough regardless. When I decided to get in shape, there was no way I was waiting until the new year. So my general advice is to start doing whatever now, and keep up with it regardless of the season.
Oh, and don’t overdo it. You’ll just burn out.
So, rather than resolutions, I have suggestions to myself. Nobody’s good at following their own advice, so I try to change that to advice to myself that I will follow.

Continue fitness program. Pretty much a given, I think. I’ve gotten to the point where my body feels poor if I’m not active, at least a little. That’s the one thing that’s killing me about this trip: being sick and unable to exercise much.
I don’t know what my first semester grades are, but I’m sure I can do better (I just hope that there’s a reasonable limit to how much better I can do). I suggest that should probably work a bit harder.
Make good relationship choices. Big topic, but it basically encompasses a whole suite of suggestions to myself. They are all boring and mundane, so I won’t go into them. I’m sure there the same things everyone tells themselves to do.
Well I think that’s about it. We’ll see what the New Year holds. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them, just make sure they’re anatomically feasible and don’t involve any livestock.
