What is it with New Year? Date changes. Celebrations all around. Fireworks and fire crackers. Then we move on with life.
Yes, it probably feels like nothing really happened after the celebrations. But the essence that New Year brings us is a start—a headstart—where we are to make most of yet another 365 (in fact, 366 this year) days. This time of the year, we bring in our resolutions, may we fulfill them or not, it is everyone's way of changing for the better and hoping for the best.
See at what some Ateneans have for their resolutions this year, and maybe you could share yours too! By the end of the year, let's see who actually fulfilled theirs.
