    Default New Year's Resolutions Thread

    Yes, its that time of year again. The time so many promise to better their life, themselves, and/or others as opposed to the previous year.

    My New Year's Resolutions:

    1) I wish to drop 28 pounds, putting myself at 190 pounds. I feel that is actually a realistic goal, and will leave me fairly healthy. This semester, I dropped 10 pounds, so I'm feeling good about actually obtaining this goal. My ultimate goal is to be somewhere in the 160-180 pound range, though honestly I'm going to play it by ear a bit to see how fit and healthy I actually am before just trying to shed further weight.

    2) Be more patient and tolerant towards others.(not going into detail)

    3) I am in the midst of applying to become Residence Assistant at my UNI dorm for the next school year. Becoming RA and doing as good a job as possible(also tying back into #2) is a prime goal.

    4) Maintaining and/or improving my brand spankin' new 3.8 GPA, as well as doing my best to actually take knowledge away from my classes as best as possible.

    5) Being more friendly and sociable.

    6) Obtaining my own vehicle.


    Well, that's what I've got thus far.

    EDIT: Dad gummit, can a mod please remove the apostrophe from "New Year's" in the thread title.
    8) Stop using possessive apostrophes where they aren't supposed to be used.

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    3. Stop spamming the org
    4. Buff my self up to get out of 15 years of being underweight
    5. Have a bloody good year. If possible get a girl friend for the first time in my life.

    Thats about it.

    My three L's for the New Years are:

    1. Lurk harder
    2. Laugh harder
    3. 1337 harder

    All three are attainable, oh and also a fourth be a senior member but I think I can pretty much consider that unattainable.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    New Year Resolution: Pizzaguy style

    1. Eat more.
    2. Sleep more.
    3. Do less work.
    4. Be more talkative.
    5. Play more Medieval II: Total War.
    6. Play more Mafia games.
    7. Host more Mafia games.
    8. Play more Chess games.
    9. Go down in Org history as the most legendary pizza-themed Orgah.
    10. Go down in Org history as the most beloved of them all.
    11. My fan club actually takes over the Org itself, as everyone becomes a member of it.
    12. Start a fan club just for my legions of female fans, of which I am sure at least one of them aren't imaginary.
    13. Be more humorous.
    14. Be less religious.
    15. Eat more pizza.
    16. Three words: Pizzaguy's Pleasure Palace.
    17. Win some kind of Org award so I don't look nearly as pathetic as I do now.
    18. Pizza grant me the serenity to imagine the things I cannot taste; the courage to eat the things I can; and the wisdom to avoid healthy desserts.

    1) Get my GPA up for collage apps next year
    2) be better at time management so I can balance my life out.
    3) Be ready to take any oppertunities that come my way.
