New Year, New You?

Welcome back. Happy New Year. People typically like to take the opportunity to reevaluate some bad habits and try to correct them around this time of year. For our first post of the New Year lets share a few resolutions you are committing to making or discuss how it may have went for you in the past. Are you able to stay committed to a resolution you make with yourself? Or what would you like to change about yourself and what steps do you plan on taking each day?

    I always try to eat healthy stop biting my nails and be nice to my sisters as my resolutions, i normally try to stick with it the whole year but i never can. I haven bit my nails since December , i could try to start complementing my sisters as a way of being nice to them. also i always try to do better in school, one way i can do that is to stop procrastinating and do my work the day it gets posted , also study everyday.

    One thing that I would like to do this year is to learn both Korean and Japanese so that I can communicate with my mom and my grandma. I plan to do this by talking with my mom and watching k dramas for pronunciation as well as practice Duolingo. Generally, I have a hard tie trying to keep my New Year's resolutions but I feel a little hopeful for this resolution because it's so important to me.

    Some of the things I will try to do for this new year is eat better and exercise more often. I've tried doing these in the past but who can turn down ice cream on a Friday night? This time I will try doing this for at least three consecutive months within the year.

Write a post about a recent experience you had with something you have a strong opinion about. It can be negative or positive. Your post should be 6-10 sentences at a minimum. Compare and contrast what you are writing about with other things similar to your topic. For example: If you are writing about a record from a particular artist, compare it to similar artists or the artists earlier work. Same for restaurants, etc. See examples for ideas.
