New Year's Resolutions, 2008?

[yoko*]

For those who are making new year's resolution's this year. What's on your list? How are you going to stay committed? My list is huge and all of them are going to be multi-stage processes, some which extend until 2009 or ongoing for life. I've already gotten the ball rolling on some of these.

-Finish coursework at UBC by July 2008, Graduation ceremony by Nov 2008.
-Move to Toronto/Montreal by July/August/September 2008
-Work some crappy jobs in T.O. to save money for art school
-Take until March 2009 to work on an art portfolio
-Apply for and get acceptance to a 2-year degree program at an art school with a good reputation across N.America, for the fall 2009 session.
-Stay fit/toned, healthy
-Stick to all of these above goals.

Silly extra-curricular life goal:
-Write and illustrate a children's book.

Yours?

Same one I make every year, but never keep:

I resolve that next year, I won't make any new year's resolutions.

your resolutions sound almost way too similar to my plans for 2008 ha ha. I'm just in the process of compiling a portfolio for concordia university in Montreal for the Design program. If all goes well I'm shooting to start in 2009.

what are you planning on studying?

[cubed]

I resolve to be a kinder and gentler person.

I pretty much do this every year.

[Revolver]

try not to think about it so much but off the top of the nogin:

-be more mindful of my actions and the effect they have on people.
-tie up alot of the loose ends keeping me in vancouver.
-getting back out in the world,perhaps central asia.
-BCIT television production in the fall of 08.
-working to keep the good people in my life and the bad people out.

[mojo]

not get shiv'd in Nicaragua

[Lil Jenna]

Keep healthy and fit.

[gnosis]

I don't believe in massive yearly overhauls.

I do regular maintenance throughout the year.

Frosty

[Disco_Whore]

Spend less time on the internet, Facebook in particular.

[Big R]

[KrisisID]

keep on with my last years resolution! its going great!

keep on a healthy lifestyle.

[galaxie]

I don't like resolutions, but my big goals for 2008 are to finish my degree (!!!) and save more of my salary (by summer '09 I want to have a down payment saved up).

Edit: Oh yeah, and get promoted at work :)

[veN]

In no particular order...

- Actively consider what educational/professional direction I wanna take next
- Become better at financial mngmt/planning (ie: learn to budget and saaaave)
- Continue to limit my coffee/pop consumption (too much unnecessary sugar!)
- Work hard at my Human Kinetics class in Jan & improve my body's health/performance
- Continue to grow the permanent colour out of my hair, and continue growing it in length and eventually donate 8-9 inches or more of healthy, unprocessed hair to an organization that makes wigs for people with Cancer.

[SEAN!]

maintain a 3.5 - 4.0 gpa
get hired by a big four firm, hopefully in corporate finance advisory but audit would be fine
move to the west end
pass level two of the cfa program

be a kindler and gentler person

[Drazkers]

Continue boxing twice a week and working out three times a week.
Decide on traveling further or starting university. Continue spinning two hours a day.
Take a real stab at a decent relationship.

[rawb]

I WOULD LIKE TO UNCOVER THE HIDDEN BEAUTY OF MY SILVER AND GOLD WITH TARN-X, CANADA'S LEADING TARNISH CLEANER. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT HIDDEN TREASURES YOU MAY HAVE IN YOUR ATTIC UNTIL YOU USE TARN-X.

[tiedye]

Next year, I want to be a REAL boy.

[TrixX]

[miss.myra]

I am most looking forward to enjoying the single life and my europe trip in 2008.

I'd also like to start doing yoga 4x a week regularly, hoping that life and work doesn't interfere with it too much.

oh yeah, and get a job with VANOC.

[Prissypants]

I've basically accomplished my goals for this year now all I want to do is maintain them for next year...

[sidekick]

c'mon people, let's stop calling them new years resolutions and start calling them what they really are: first two weeks of january resolutions.

[yoko*]

^ For some, yes. But I actually follow through with my goals because they are realistic and real changes that I need to make in my life. They're also not just goals that I came up with specifically for the purpose of being able to say "These are my new year's resolutions"

I just use the end of year as an excuse to actually sit down and re-evaluate what I have and have not accomplished over the calendar year and what I want to accomplish in the new year.

[baby-phat]

- go back to school/take some courses
- save up to move away (just for a change and the experience of living elsewhere for a while)
- start cutting out over-processed foods and eat more fresh foods

[sidekick]

i resolve to:

-become a dolphin
-find a way to consume food through the pores in my skin rather than my mouth and proceed to use this as a party trick to get laid
-learn to breathe under water
-make a device that sends out an electromagnetic pulse when i push a button, but instead of ruining electronics this will make all the ugly people in a radius of five miles suddenly fall unconscious
-make a funny face and have it stay that way
-become undead
-get bored being a dolphin and become a chimpanzee
