As we approach the start of a new year (and a new decade!), many people are seeking a better year and to move forward positively from 2019. It has become common culture, particularly in North America, to set goals or New Year’s resolutions for themselves to follow and strive for in the new year. Whether…
On February 25 and 26, the University of Calgary hosts its annual Model United Nations Conference for high school students across the city. This two day conference is filled with intense discussion, resolution writing and much more. As a grade twelve student who has participated in Model UN for my entire high school career, the thought…
So New Year’s is finally upon us, and with it comes the inevitable doom of having to make resolutions. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of New Year’s resolutions for two reasons. Firstly, I don’t think we should have to wait for the year to change to start changing ourselves, but rather change when…
The New Year has begun, and every year it is tradition for people to make resolutions. Let’s be honest though: those never (or at least rarely ever) turn out. Therefore I have no intention of preaching to you about what you should do, what you should not do, or who you should be. No.…
Jasmine K. “I want to excel in my academics this year and achieve ninety-five and above for every subject. “ “I want to learn how to program and write codes so I can create an app. “ “I want to participate in science fair and create an invention for my project.” These are all…
It’s 2014! You know what that means… New Year’s Resolutions all around. After all, an new year can bring a new you, right? Maybe not. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind people who make resolutions, and I don’t hate the idea of them, but in all honesty, who actually manages to stick with them…
Reigning in the new year means one thing: life-changing resolutions. Many strive for a better body, an unlikely personality change, or perhaps something more generic, such as “exercise more.” But I choose the rational route to resolutions. After several years of failure to realize most of my previous, more ostentatious goals—three years ago, I made it…
Ah, New Years. The one time of the year where tens of thousands of people make plans to become better people, to achieve personal goals or to maybe just try something new. But how can we create New Year’s resolutions that matter and can actually have a lasting impact on our lives, and most importantly,…
You may be thinking, why are you posting this now? New Year’s is far away! Believe it or not, January is going to come faster than you may think. I’ve never been one to make or stick to resolutions, but that is simply because I don’t necessarily support them. People like to make these goals…
Now that we’re halfway through the first month of the first year, where are our resolutions now? When it gets to a certain point,we realize we’re just using recycled versions of our old resolutions. They may not always turn out the way we want them to, but at least they help when they’re there! Here…
Happy New Year! Like many of you, I have made some new years resolutions this year. Of course, I’ve started thinking about all my past new years resolutions, particularly the failed ones. This year, I’d like to keep at least one of my resolutions. We make them because they’re usually goals we would really like…
