Do you do resolutions? Which have you fulfilled? What ones did you have that failed? What are you thinking for this next year?

In my entire life I've only made one New Year's resolution - that was about 3 years ago now and I've stuck to it so far. When I went back to work after the holidays, I started putting some money aside every time I got paid in what I like to call my "traveling account". It took some time, but this year I was able to afford a trip to Cuba and a trip to Mexico, so it works and I'm gonna stick to it for as long as I can!

Sounds like a great resolution. I´ve never made any for New Year.

i like your resolution jefie! maybe i should try that one out. i think my resolution for this year is to make sure i exercise consistently and eat healthier. ever since my dad had his heart attack im really worried about being healthy. i actually have to get my cholesterol checked when i turn 20 cuz ill have a high risk of heart problems and such.

I have a similar one to Jefie, I really really wanna save to travel. I think I'm gonna have to look for a second casual job that poays better so I can. I also want more work experience, to improve my writing and to get fitter as resolutions.

last year i wanted to read a book a week, or at least at the end of the year have 52 books read. but i didn't read as much as i normally would when school started because it was more time consuming than high school. i think though that i got some 40 books at least, so i wasn't too far behind.

i counted. i've read 47 books this calendar year so far. so i suppose i do still have time to read 5 more but i doubt that'll happen lol the books i have piled up to read are somewhat long and i don't think i could just read for so many hours on end to finish. i'll have to try harder next year i suppose lol

I wanted to be more relaxed, have less stress in my life. It didn't work out that well.
