I'm not someone who is a big believer of New Years resolutions. I've always felt that, if you want to change, you should just do it, and not wait for a "significant moment" like the end of a year to become who you want to be. However, 2012 is going to be a really big year for me. I'm going to be graduating from high school, possibly moving out of the house?, heading off to college, and becoming the legal definition of an adult, so I thought that this really was the best time for me to make some changes, since so many are going to be happening to me regardless. So I have a few little resolutions that I'm going to try my best to stick to:

• Be nicer to people. Stop talking about people behind their backs and being otherwise nasty. 
• Stop being so afraid and cautious of everything; take risks! 
• Smile more often. 
• And of course, the ever-present get in shape. 

I'll be trying to document a bit of my every-day life here, so that I can look back, a year from now, and decide whether or not I've lived up to my own expectations. Unfortunately, I've done nothing but finish my AP winter break work and start on my senior project, which is to write a novel, today, so I have nothing to say today. Hopefully this will get more interesting as time goes on!
