It’s time to ring in 2014, and with the New Year will come a host of New Year’s resolutions. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve hated being asked the question, “What’s your New Year’s resolution?”
The idea of making a resolution makes me feel trapped. I feel like no matter what I resolve to change, I’m doomed to fail. That’s probably because I have a bad track record of keeping resolutions. My resolution to write in my journal every day in the fourth grade? Didn’t last more than a few weeks. My resolution to stop drinking diet soda in college? Ended after the caffeine headaches got to be too much for me.
