A FRESH START TO THE NEW YEAR

 A FRESH START TO THE NEW YEAR

COVID-FRIENDLY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION IDEAS 

By: Noelle Hanek

With a brand new year starting up, now is the time for new goals and resolutions! Let’s start 2022 off strong as a year of achievement and self-improvement! To give you some ideas, here are some of the staff’s resolutions:

Noelle is going to eat better foods and get more sleep. She is also going to be more organized! 

Hayley is going to get back into reading, and try a new instrument!

Kavya is going to learn how to play the Ukulele, have a consistent sleep schedule, and be on top of her gift-giving this year! 

Below are some more resolution ideas, many of which are COVID-friendly!

• Do more fitness (a gym membership is not needed, you can perform at-home workouts or go on runs around the block!) 

• Focus more on academics

• Read more books

• Learn a new instrument

• Learn a new language

• Perform more acts of kindness 

• Volunteer and/or donate to those in need

• Learn a new hobby you always wanted to try (singing, writing, a sport, cooking, etc.) 

• Join more clubs 

• Try to make new friends

• Spend more time with family (which includes talking on the phone for COVID-friendly purposes) 

• Practice self-care techniques such as meditation and/or spa days

• Get a job or side hustle

Following our resolutions can be a great experience and very rewarding. They are great ways to motivate people to accomplish their long-anticipated goals. However, while setting goals can be easy, actually following through with them can be difficult. If this ever happens, never get discouraged because it is never too late to continue trying to reach our goals, and a new year is a great place to start! 

Happy 2022 from the Oracle!
