Late New Year's Resolutions

"It's February, why are you making New Year's Resolutions now?"

I know, I know. It's a little bit late to be doing this. I think the concept of New Year's resolutions is kind of stupid, because you shouldn't have to wait until the new year to change yourself. I consider myself fairly lucky to be in the position I'm in right now, although I wanted to improve myself a little bit, even if I decided on my resolutions a month late.

My official resolution list

-Get better grades. I wouldn't say they're bad, per se, and I'm certainly not flunking out of school, but I think I could do a little better.

-Break out of my shell a little bit. This is something I've been wanting to do a little more, because I lowkey want more friends. (Not in a cocky way, I'm just slightly introverted.)

-Improve my general mood. As mentioned in this post, I've gone through some "mood swings", for lack of a better word, and I want to make sure that I, or nobody I know, has to go through that.

-Attend more gaming events. Unfortunately, I can only go to them once every few months, but once I get my permit, and eventually my driver's license, I'd like to change that.

Overall, I'd like to be a better me. Of course, I'm far from perfect, but I'd like to at least try to be a better person. I'm trying to be the best David I can be, and I hope you guys can be the best people you can be as well.

That's the message of this post: be the best you you can be.

~David

Good luck david, grades can be important if you're in college and wanting to pursue further education. And breaking out of your "shell" is definitely a good resolution because it forces you to do something you're currently uncomfortable with, but don't expect to make friends out of it, but you'll certainly have more people to say hi to in the hall ways.

Good luck to you!
I often use music when I notice that I'm in a bad mood to push my mood up. Also smiling releases endorphines and really helps changing the mood, even if it's forced.

On a side note: From a psychological standpoint new years resolutions are actually meaningful, because people are more likely to change in times of change, so using new year to get in a change/new part of life mood makes sense.
But it's not rare that people disregard mood and habits.
low gravity, yes-yes!

Op you have a really natural prose style. It's perfect from what I can see. I envy that.

David, you are a great writer and and even better human being. What a gift to be so introspective at such a young age. Continue setting goals for yourself and you will see it will all come together!
