"2022 is ending and 2023 is on its way! With the new year, comes New Years' resolutions and, of course, people’s opinions on them."--NAomi West & Kaliyah Smith, 6th grade
2022 is ending and 2023 is on its way! With the new year, comes New Years' resolutions and, of course, people’s opinions on them.
Gabbi Luevano, 6th-grade Fashion student at OSA, participates in New Years' resolutions and enjoys them. “I like that you can just give yourself a little bit of a boost to do something and look forward to doing it,” she said. Luevano thinks that resolutions can last but they just don’t for her. “I always make one for myself but usually forget about it in about a month.” Luevano’s New Year's resolution is to change her wardrobe to her liking.
Another 6th-grade Vocal student at OSA doesn’t have a very strong opinion when it comes to New Years' Resolutions, but she doesn’t like them very much. Birchett thinks that, “Most of the time people say that they are going to do their resolutions but never do.” Birchett doesn’t “really” like New Years resolutions because, “Some people act like they no longer have to take accountability for the thing they did years ago or the year before the new one.”
Ana Campos does not participate in New Year’s resolutions. Campos doesn’t like them very much and she thinks that most people don’t follow through with their resolutions because “The true motivation to accomplish whatever goal that they have set isn’t there. It’s more of a societal pressure.” She doesn’t like that it’s more of a “trend.”
McKenzie Westbrook, 6th-grade Vocal student at OSA enjoys New Year's resolutions because it gives her the chance to follow her dreams even though it doesn't always work out for her, “I’ll most likely not finish my resolutions because I don't have time for them.”
Adelia Sutton, 6th-grade Visual Arts student at OSA thinks that New Year’s resolutions are nice, even though most people don’t follow through with them. Although Sutton doesn’t really enjoy New Years resolutions, she still respects others' opinions. One of the reasons she dislikes New Year's resolutions is that it's hard for her to fulfill them.
Tianna Hunter, a 6th grader at John Muir Middle School thinks that New Year's resolutions are weird because not everybody goes through with them. Hunter participates in New Year’s resolutions but only makes ones they know they can accomplish. Hunter enjoys making resolutions because it helps them focus on one thing. “It's something that you can try to achieve and stay focused on,” they said. Hunter’s resolutions are to keep having A’s and B’s and to make a new friend.
