All about Resolutions

 Hi everyone today I'll be discussing everything you need to know about New Years Resolutions, and my personal opinions on resolutions.

What is a resolution

Merriam-Webster dictionary describes a resolution as, "a promise to do something differently in the new year Her New Year's resolution is to exercise regularly" (Merriam-Webster). This definition perfectly describes what a resolution is. A resolution is something that is different depending on you, and what your own personal goals are. 

The types of resolutions

In my opinion there are 2 types of resolutions there are mental resolutions and there are physical resolutions. Mental resolutions are resolutions created by people to improve their mental health, if that makes sense. For example a mental resolution could be thinking more positively or being more optimistic. Physical resolutions are resolutions created by people to improve for their physical appearance or the physical space around them. For example a physical resolution could be losing weight or trying to jog everyday. 

How to craft a resolution for you

This is my opinion on how to craft a resolution for an individual, this is just my opinion not facts. I think crafting a resolution for yourself is a step-by-step process the first step is to asses what your personal growth in the previous year. For example in 2020 I got my license, got great grades, and became more educated. This personal assessment is different depending on you. The second step is to asses your own personal downfalls of the previous year. The third step is to find something that you want to change about yourself this can be mental or physical. The final step is to based on what you want  to change, create a goal for yourself on how you're going to change what you don't like about yourself. Also just a side note I think when you say you don't like about yourself people automatically assume its negative, which it can be but its not always. Its normal to not like things about yourself and its not sad, its very very normal. 

Conclusion

In my opinion resolutions are good, but don't beat yourself up if you don't achieve your resolution. I like resolutions because they allow a person to have goals for the year, but if I don't achieve my resolution I don't get upset. As long as I've done something positive for myself or others, I'm satisfied. Overall, don't pressure yourself and do what you want to do with your year and your own personal goal.

How To Find Your Aesthetic

 Hi everyone today I'll be discussing how to find your aesthetic or individual style.  1. The Fit of Clothes The first thing that determines your aesthetic is how you want your clothing to fit for example do you like the fit of skinny jeans, baggy jeans, or flare jeans on your body. I prefer mom jeans on my body instead of a skinny jean fit. Also do you prefer your tops to fit tighter or baggy, for me I like a mix of both. How you like clothes to fit your body is big part of finding your style/aesthetic because, your clothing will be the base of your style.   (source: 7esl.com) 2. What Shoes You Like  The second thing that determines your aesthetic is what shoes you like and look good on your feet for example do you like sneakers, heels, or boots. I prefer sneakers. Along with the type of shoe you also need to figure out what style of shoe like chunky, platform, or flat sole shoes. If you're shorter maybe platform is your go to , or if you're tall maybe a more flat sole sho

All About the Georgia RunOffs

 Hi everyone today I'll be discussing the Georgia Senate race runoffs, my goal is to educate my you all on this topic.  (picture credits: thenation.com) What is a Run-Off election? According to "Balletpedia.com" a runoff election is a second election held to determine a winner when no candidate in the first election met the required threshold for victory. This is a great definition a runoff election occurs when a candidate doesn't earn 50% of votes in the first general election.  (Picture Credits: Vox.com) Why and Where is this Runoff occurring? This senate runoff election is occurring in Georgia and the reason this is happening because in Georgia specifically the 50% vote rule counts for candidates.
