<p>It’s almost time for this year to roll down the lane and make way for the new year to come in and settle down. It’s a time to review oneself and see that if resolutions made in the previous year have been kept. Making a resolution is something common and very easy to do, but keeping it is something that most of us fail to do, most of the times. <br />In the beginning of each year, everyone is excited and want to do new things, set goals for themselves, turn a new leaf and become a better person. <br /><br />After January passes by and the novelty wears off, resolutions too weaken.<br />L Harini, a final year B Sc student from MES College, says, “During the beginning of every year, I make plans to wake up early and set aside a slot just for studying. After a few days, when many other things start coming in and my schedule becomes heavy, I slowly stop keeping track of the resolution. I wake up late and eventually, the resolution goes unfulfilled.”<br /><br />Most youngsters are of this opinion. They say they would make all kinds of resolutions and follow it with enthusiasm. <br />After a few days, they can hardly remember the resolution they had kept.<br />Shirley Rose Louis, a second year PCME student, from Mount Carmel College says, “I keep many resolutions every year, usually I think of studying hard for long hours and score good marks, but then I get bored of it after a point of time and I am not able to stand by them.” At the same time, there are some people who do keep their resolutions, Arvind N, a second year B Com student from Seshadripuram College, says, “I had kept a resolution last year that I will ride my bike a little slowly and that I will lose at least ten kilos. I managed to do both. I feel very happy about it now when I think about it,” he says.<br /><br />Kusuma B G, a final year B.Sc (Computer Science) student, says, “Trying to change old habits and creating new ones is something which I try to do every year. Doing well in exams is the only resolution I make and I try to keep it every year, even though it is difficult.”<br /></p>
