“I think (New Year’s reso-
lutions) are a good idea, but I
don’t know; I feel if you want to
make changes in your life you
don’t really need a holiday or
something to make that happen,
you should just do that on your

just trying to get ready for spring
break, just picking up with being

“I’ve never stuck with a New
Year’s resolution. But this is
something that has to do with
my actual life so it’s time to grow
up. Usually, I don’t make serious
ones anyway.”
Unrealistic resolutions have
proven to be a problem for peo-
ple in the past who have fallen
short, but for freshman Ryan
Wheeler, falling short had its
rewards. Wheeler set his sights
high and though he did not meet
them, it still brought out the best
in him.
“One of mine in high school
was to get a 4.0 GPA and I
didn’t,” Wheeler said. “I just set
that so that I could try and get
the best I could, and I still got a
pretty good GPA that semester.”
