i-Teen-New Year’s Revolutions

Everyone makes New Year’s resolutions. What’s the big deal? No one keeps them. Am I right? Of course I’m right!
I’m going to spend less of my parents money, next thing you know you have a brand new outfit. I’m going to spend less time running up the phone bill, so just look at your texting bill.
Then there’s the infamous, ‘I’m going to lose weight,’ and the most you do with the Bow Flex is watch the DVD on the couch while eating nachos. It’s official. I have no confidence in any of you wannabe improvers.
Now I’m going to make my own holiday. It’s the day after New Year’s resolution day, and I’m going to call it New Year revolutions day. Do you know why they call my holiday New Year’s revolution? Because it’s the second version of New Year’s except people will actually celebrate my holiday properly.
On this holiday instead of picking one way to improve ourselves, we will pick one way to improve those around us. For example, I’m choosing my cousin. I think she needs to improve her style, her attitude, and her overall persona. This is just one example, you can choose your own standards.
The way to go about this holiday is with your eyes wide open. The person at first will resist change. They will insist you not try to change them because they are perfect the way they are. These people are in denial, and have no holiday spirit, so just let it slide this time, and make your plans subtle.
For example, do as I do. I told my cousin that I liked her style, I just thought it was time to get rid of all her stuff and maybe try to do better the next time. When confronting her about her attitude, I told her that she could use an adjustment and perhaps some humbling. I told her she could use a little less her time, and a little more me time.
And when addressing her overall persona, I simply told her she took too much time in front of the mirror and if she kept it up she’d be damaged for life. And she said, ‘Just because I’m beautiful doesn’t mean I’m conceited.’ ??
Hopefully the person you choose for New Year’s revolutions day is a little more tolerable and cooperative. Happy New Year’s revolutions day!
