INTERESTING PEOPLE New Year’s edition: The Update

In December, the CT asked these VCU students to tell us their New Year’s resolutions. Little did they know that we would be checking up on those resolutions’ progress a few weeks in.

resoluTIon: “I want to be nicer to my boss.” progress: “Surprisingly, I have been so much nicer to my boss. He actually bought me a week’s worth of coffee to return the favor.” resoluTIon: “I want a job.” progress: “It’s preposterous to think that someone could succeed in their New Year’s resolution in only three weeks.” resoluTIon: “Don’t be late to things.” (As she ran to the class for which she was late.) progress: “I haven’t had any meetings, so I haven’t been late to anything, which means 100 percent success.” resoluTIon: “I want to find a cure for my chronic hiccups.” progress: “I haven’t gone to the doctor, but I’ve tried some things to try and get rid of the hiccups. I’ve tried acupuncture and anti-acid pills. Neither have worked, so I guess I have to keep trying.” resoluTIon: “I’m going to empty my cat’s litter box more.” progress: “My cat started using the toilet, so it’s no longer an issue.” resoluTIon: “I want to be less poor, like, go from having negative $2 to having $1.” progress: “Well, I wanted to be less broke, and I’m currently about to buy a car, so I think I did well.” resoluTIon: “I would like to get more fit. As skinny as I am, I’m actually very out of shape.” progress: “I haven’t done anything different so far. A lot of things have come up. I’m hoping to do better with the new semester though.” resoluTIon: “I want more pants. I want to wear more pants.” progress: “I’m getting more pants for my birthday. They are ordered and everything.” resoluTIon: “I want to get my s--- together.” progress: “I’ll let you know in March.”
