Daily Insight: Another Year Down

coming to an end, and the beginning of a new one is only days away! 2011 for me personally has been one of the best years of my life! Around this time everyone goes into a frenzy about what their NYE plans will be, and of course those good old resolutions.

Let me explain a few things I’ve learned over the years about NYE plans, and resolutions. First off NYE plans. I’ve done it all, from doing the absolute most, to nothing at all. The best plans are those that are solidified and inexpensive. What’s the point of being in a club with 2000 strangers? Your phone signal doesn’t work come midnight, so you can’t even wish those closest to you a Happy New Year. This year I am opting for the classic route, a get together with great friends.

Another skit that has been imbedded in our NYE psyche is “the person you spend your new year with is the one you’ll be spending the rest of the year with.” AGAIN I can tell you uhhh-unnnn this ain’t the damn truth. Of course yes, some people you spend your new years eve with will be around throughout the rest of your life. And some will be gone come January 3rd. That’s just the way that cookie crumbles.

And then of course everyone’s favorite “lie to yourself” action: a new years resolution. Whether it’s losing that freshman 15 you’ve been carrying around even 3 years after you graduated, being on time to work everyday, or my favorite a year long man-cation. Man-cation being a vacation from the opposite sex. Make sure whatever your resolution is, it remains feasible, and realistic. You’ll feel so much better when you look back on your year, believe me.
