A Fresher Perspective on New Year's Resolutions
I want to change the conversation around resolutions. I want to change the annoying perception of how meaningless the phrase of “new year, new me” has come to be. The truth is, this fad had spread like wildfire over the last couple years on social media until it finally lost its grandeur.

In the New Year, a Mindful Inventory
The first days of January are spammed with social media posts of stuff like the “2000-something best nine” Instagram pictures, quotes that compile the lessons we learned from the year’s experiences, and so on. But it often takes a lot of guts to actually sit down and reflect about what worked and what didn’t: the actions that either helped us move forward or sunk us to the ground, the thoughts that influenced our outlook on life, the relationships we maintained, and the toxic circumstances we kept coming back to. As 2018 came to an end, I pictured all of the important moments I lived throughout it as different boxes stacked inside a basement, boxes I would examine as if performing an inventory. Some of these boxes I’ve decided to keep, and some I’m throwing out for good.

No Resolutions for the New Year
New year, new you, new expectations of who you should be. With each year, it is so tempting to make resolutions and promises to yourself of the person you want to become in the coming year. There is a glow of optimism, and maybe a little nervousness. Fitness, career, personal... there is always an area that could be better. We are human.

#NewYearNewMe
Ever since hashtags became "a thing" I've noticed that it's a good way to stay current with news, trends, and just about anything you want to find on social media websites. I used to think that they were irrelevant and pointless, but I've changed my mind over these past few years. They can be used for connecting with similar people, searching for information, or browsing food photos at 2 AM on Instagram. So, when I noticed the #NewYearNewMe hashtag across multiple social media websites, I started browsing.

2019 Is Here. What Now?!
2018 was interesting in so many ways for many of us. Fraught with worry over Brexit, moral panic over our own safety/sanity, FOMO and finances. Even deciding whether to go out and see the friends whose company you crave and yet needing to cuddle up on the sofa and have "downtime." Having that glass of wine to wind-down or gaining a booze-free day, fitting in a workout, answering your WhatsApp’s, counting your five a day, trawling through your emails (and realising GDPR was a bucket of nonsense), wracking your brain for a doable New Years resolution that doesn’t make you feel like a failure. Juggling everything.

Unparalleled Optimism, Not to Be Confused with Denial
I'm not depressed but aware that the clouds, in the sky are just too somber, grey and gloomy. I'm not depressed but aware that I'm just a little tired and tuckered out and whipped out all in one.

My New Year's Resolutions
This upcoming year will be one of the busiest years of my life. 2019 is the year I graduate from university, get my first real (teaching) adult job, and probably a lot of things in between that I'm not ready for and will have to take in stride. With all this above me, I want to write out my New Year's Resolutions. I want to hold myself accountable and reach new heights, be a better me. So here is my list:

Merry Christmas. Blessed Yule. Happy Solstice. Happy Hanukkah. Happy Kwanza. Or whatever it is you might celebrate. It’s nearing that time of year where people are looking for New Years resolutions, so I encourage you to consider these, as daily choices do add up and make a difference.

Specifically Random Thoughts on 2018
Sitting down and looking at my phone screen is weird, since I can barely use my phone to text people back within an appropriate time. But I wanted to take this opportunity to share my feelings about random and specific things and conclude this brief, but important chapter called 2018.
