In 2006, I made my same resolution that I do every year; to lose weight and to do better in school. And by the 3rd week of January, I always find myself eating cupcakes and not studying or doing my homework. And that laziness is starting to have a big effect on me. I procrastinated while doing my college applications, and now I'm afraid that one of them may not arrive on time. And that is a really scary thing, because I am so anxious to go to college, and to think that my procrastination will cause me to lose my chances, is quite frankly pretty embarassing.

So, this 2007, I will make a new resolution: to stop making excuses. When my college application isn't finished on time, I need to admit that I made a mistake and try to fix it as best as I can. When I get a bad grade on a test, rather than cry and moan about how much I hate the teacher, I will try to study harder for the next one, and get a kick-butt grade to cancel out the bad one.
I need to have more confidence in myself and the things I do; that way I'll be much more able to finish all the tasks and responsibilities I have on my plate right now.

These are terrific resolutions. I'm a procrastinator, too, but I have learned what I can and cannot procrastinate. Maybe it's true what they say... wisdom comes with age. :-)

I hope you get into the college of your choice!
