Now you've probably heard of the usual New Year’s
Resolutions; lose weight, spend less money, eat healthier, etc. But I think we
can all agree that those are lame. Instead, I've compiled a list of better
resolutions for your average teenager.
The Good Thing Notebook
Get a plain covered notebook with a good amount of lined
pages. Using markers, design the cover using Zentangles or doodles or whatever
you like. Then, on the inside at the end of every day, write everything that
went well, made you happy, and just any good thing that happened during the
day. It's a good way to start looking on the bright side of life, and when
you're having a bad day, you can read back and hopefully it will help you feel
better.
The Coin Bottle
Get an empty soda bottle of your favorite kind. Choose one
type of coin; dimes, pennies, quarters, nickels. Then, whenever you get change, take those
coins out and put them in the bottle. It's a fun way to save up money, and hey,
maybe you could put the total into Jar Wars.
The Memory Box
Grab a shoe box, possibly one of your favorite brand. Then
you can choose whether or not to design the box or keep it as is, but make sure
to write 2017 on it somewhere. Then fill it with things that you accumulate
throughout the year. Fill it with photographs; of your friends and family, of
yourself. Add memories, wishes, letters, notes, drawings, doodles, etc. Make it
what you want. Then you'll have something to look back on when 2018 comes
along.
The Selfie-A-Day Challenge
Everyday for a year, take a selfie in the same spot, if you
can. Then, at the end of the year, you can string it into a fast moving
slideshow and see how your face has changed over the year. It's okay if you
miss a couple days, as long as you don't miss too many.
And don't forget to live a little!
