"New Year, New _____?"

Every year, many of us come up with a goal and or resolution. It's something we want to change about our current selves or something we want to do that is typically out of character. The question is, will you really reach that goal? If you're looking for me to tell you "you won't reach the goal so don't try" or "Of course you'll succeed!" then I'm sorry to upset you but I won't tell you either. It is up to you whether you will reach it or not.

Ignore all of the unambitious people who say that it's pointless to make a New Year Resolution. If you want to create a personal goal to better yourself, who can hate on that other than people who have no goals in life? The human willpower is much much stronger than some think. I honestly believe that if you set your mind to your goal, pray for perseverance, and ask a close friend to hold you accountable, you can reach that goal.

Many people make the mistake in saying "It's a new year, and a new me". These people don't have New Year Resolutions, they have the desperate want to be someone they aren't. A new year does not equal a new you. You will never magically change from Ogre to Tyra Banks. It's fine to view the new year as a fresh start, but remember that your starting point is where and who you are right now. If you want to develop some character traits that you don't already possess, take it a day at a time! Practice that patience you want, and stick to it; soon you will have developed that trait and worked toward your resolution.

Take home points:
- Don't be discouraged because everyone else's New Year Resolutions fail
- Strive to make attainable goals
- A new year is not a reset button
- Work to reach your goals, because if you don't they will fail

The next time you hear someone saying that they have a New Year Resolution, don't be that person who says they won't reach it. That discouragement ultimately discourages people from challenging themselves and making steps to become better individuals, and without that you leave our society with disheartened, unambitious, lazy, selfish, and inwardly ugly people and who wants that?

Procrastinator Tips

Procrastination is bad and you need to change, but until you do, here are some tips to managing your bad habit.

- Keep a planner or an agenda and keep it with you at all times.

- When you have things that need to be done on a certain day, mark that it needs to be done 2 days before.

- When you find yourself engaging in mindless activities rather than doing what you should be doing, set your alarm for 10 minutes and when your alarm goes off, and take 15 minutes to do what you are supposed to be doing. Go back to your Facebook games for another 10 minutes, and then back to what you need to be doing for another 15 minutes. It may take a long time, but at least you'll be getting something done.

- When you need to get things done, do them in a nice, organized, and clean room.

- Make a to-do list and check off or cross off what you've already done. It'll make you feel more accomplished and motived to be productive.

- Go to the Library with other productive people, it might make you feel inadequate and drive you to do something. (Warning: If you have dangerously low-self esteem, do not do this.)

- Watch a motivational movie (Legally Blonde always motives me!)

5 Reasons Why Disney Villains Failed

5. Not Being Deceptive Enough

Mother Gothel failed her mission because she wasn't a TRUE villain at heart. Her first and fatal down fall was telling Rapunzel her birth date. Did Gothel think Rapunzel wouldn't get curious about why the whole kingdom released lanterns every year on her birthday?

I didn't get why Mother Gothel wanted to live forever anyway. She didn't have a real home, friends, family, or even a job. What did she need to live for?

Aside from not having the best motive for her mission, if Mother Gothel never told Rapunzel her birthday, Rapunzel would have never put her birthday and the lanterns together. For her sake, Mother didn't know best.

4. Talking Too Much

Please take a look at the picture to your left. You all remember this scene, and from this scene I'm sure you'd all agree that "Talking too much" was indeed the reason for Scar's fall and Simba's comeback.

Quote that killed him: "Now here's my little secret, I killed Mufasa!"

If Scar would have kept his mouth shut, Simba would have died with his family disappointed at him for killing his father, and Scar would have kept control of the Pride Lands until they ultimately ran out of food and died off. But no. Letting Simba know that Scar was responsible for his Father's death instead of himself, gave him the strength that he needed to jump back up, clear his name, and get rid of Scar. Some things just can't be prepared for. (sigh)


3. Recklessness

You all remember Sykes from Oliver and Company? Well, his failure was due to Recklessness. Lending money to a homeless man...Reckless. Driving a Rolls Royce on a subway train track...Reckless. Because of those horrible choices, he failed. Sykes was obviously lacking that Street Savoir Faire.

2. Keeping Stupid Company
Be weary of the company you keep. Hades, like all Disney Villains had some psychological issues, but that wasn't his main downfall. The plan was simple,
- Steal Hercules
- Make him Mortal
- Kill him
Pain and Panic were not capable of getting the job done, they failed, thus Hades failed. It was ultimately Hades' fault for keeping such stupid sidekicks. Let that be a lesson, and be willing to go the distance for competent and capable friends.


1. Anger Issues

Maleficent was a bad-A villain! She was G, but her anger issues got in the way.

First Instance: She wasn't invited to Princess Aurora's Birth Celebration (with good reason I might add), and because she wasn't invited, she bestowed a curse upon the Princess.

Last Instance: She saw that the prince was going to wake the Sleeping Beauty, and she got so mad, she transformed into a ginormous fire breathing dragon that was eventually stabbed and killed.

Her anger issues killed her, and it was all because she wasn't invited to a party. Things could have been different once upon a dream.
