There's a lot of things I should probably stop doing and actually start getting stuff done but the biggest one I should stop is procrasinating. Obviously, I have not done well so far. However, I have an entire year so it's alright. I really need to stop procrasinating and start doing stuff early so I can get my homework done on time and get better grades. That way I have time for other stuff like getting more sleep, which is something I really need. Honestly, a lot of my problems would be solved if I just stopped procrasinating. So, this year I'm going to start getting all my homework done early, or at least earlier and stop procrasinating.

My Resolution to STOP

Watching my most recent series, Star Wars Rebels, I realize that I am somewhat lazy. "Kyla, What are you doing with your life?" my conscience nags me. I sigh and think: "You know, they have a point. My resolution is to stop binge-watching. I know, I know, there are so many other things to do, besides watching shows. "You could play outside, Kyla! Ride a bike, read a book, work out, wash the dogs, make cookies, or do anything, Anything else." There are many possibilities, but it is hard for me to wake up from the trance that is a good plot. I am planning to solve that by using more of my time doing homework, instead of tv shows. WAIT. Do I talk to myself?

My New Years Resolution

Something I am trying to stop doing in 2019 is PROCRASTINATING! I am doing it right now but I am going to try and get better. I always leave doing the blog post and writing contest the last second and that is not fun. If I did them earlier I could have more time to do other things and I would not have to feel so stressed. That is something that I and going to try and stop doing. (Hopefully!)

New Year's Resolutions

                                  My New Year's Resolutions                                                                                                  Everyone is always telling me to make New Year's resolutions. I like my self with flaws, because if no one person had flaws I wouldn't be able to brag about winning the Science Fair in kindergarten. Now I will tell you about two of my resolutions for this year. First, procrastination (I'm the best one at it in my family), the two things I manly procrastinate on are the contest and blog post, as you can see, or in more appropriate terms read, I have already procrastinated. The second resolution for this year is to at least learn something new every week, not including school stuff. For example, kindergarten is actually German and means kid garden. Those are two of my resolutions for the new year.

What To Stop Doing:

Every morning, the alarm clock goes off around 6:20. My sister thinks I ignore it, but I honestly don’t hear it! She wakes up after the first beep and then turns it off, which doesn’t help. She gets up and does whatever she does in the bathroom until 6:30. At 6:30, she turns the lights on and goes downstairs. On good days, I get up, no problem, on most days I lay in bed for a little bit…

(20 minutes later…)

" IT IS 6:50 WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING IN BED, GET A GRIP GIRL! "

I jump out of bed and look at the clock, she exaggerated its only 6:45, however I do need to get to the bus stop at 7:10. I get up, make my bed,  and change my clothes. I half run half jump down the stairs and skid to a stop in the kitchen. I get my lunch out of the fridge and shove it roughly into my backpack, I then grab Michael Vey off the counter and tenderly place it in my backpack. I dash out the front door almost running into it and sprint to the bus stop, I get their just in time. I don’t eat breakfast every morning, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do, and if that means having my stomach scream at me during school then I guess that is what I will endure.

" THIS IS WHY MY NEW YEARS GOAL IS TO GET UP ON TIME! "

And maybe it I do my sister won’t scream at me like she’s a banshee, EVERY morning.

( thank you for reading…)

A Resolution... I Guess

  I dislike resolutions in the extreme. I really like thinking that i'm perfect (which to a degree, I am), and if I need a resolution, then i'm not perfect. However, it has come to my attention that I am not perfect (I was surprised too), and I figure that I need to improve in some areas. One of the things that I noticed most, or that others noticed for me, is that I have a problem with making fun of people without thinking. Apparently, I'm also just a bit racist as well. So my problem is that I am not a hundred percent sure how to shut my mouth. That's a big enough task by itself, so that's all i'm doing this year. But besides that, I'm perfect.

New Years Resolution *Cheers*

2019 is a new year, which means a fresh start. Some things that
I'm planning on stopping to make myself a better student/person
is first, procrastinating. Whenever I have to do my Blog Spot, or
Writing Contest I always wait for last second. But I feel like I'm
doing better on that, because i'm doing my Blog Spot right now…
Another thing I feel like I need to stop doing is hanging out to
much. Doing this could help me have some free time to finish my
work. These are some reasons that could help me become a better
student if I stop doing them.

New Years Resolution 

   This year, I have decided to try not to worry as much as I usually do. Everyone worries about stuff, but I am really good at it. When I am out having fun with my friends and family, I usually start to remember stuff that I need to do and worry about it the rest of the day. Stressing isn't a fun way to live my youth and stops me from having fun sometimes, so I'm going to try to stop. If I stop stressing, I can take more time thinking what I'm going to do for my assignment and finishing them so I can do better. Stressing takes up a lot of time and energy that I could be using on my assignments. That is why this year I am focusing on not stressing as much so I can have more fun and do better on my assignments. 

What I Need to Stop Doing

Something that I have to stop doing this new year is procrastination and being on my phone too
much. It really does not help if I have to do my homework at the very last minute and you have
so much pressure on you, but I still put it to the very last moment. I have to stop procrastinating
because I sometimes do not have enough time to finish it and that might be a problem. My mom
might also call me to do some chores or take care of my brother and then i forget. Another
reason I procrastinate is because I use my phone a lot. Then later I can’t find the time to work
my assignments. These are somethings that I want to stop doing this year, but probably will
not stop doing them.

What I Need to Stop Doing this Year

 What I really need to stop doing is procrastinating. (But I'm doing it right now so I don't think that i'm gonna fulfill this resolution.) I am always waiting till the end of the month to do my blog posts and writing contests. If I stopped procrastinating then I could get my assignments in on time and not feel as stressed. I really need to fix that but it's probably not going to happen. I also need to stop staying up so late. I'm always really tired when I wake up and throughout the day. I would be able to do schoolwork and homework better and faster, which I need to do anyway so that I have time to do other things with my friends. Those are some of the things I need to stop doing, but I will probably just keep doing them.

My Resolution

I don’t really do New Year Resolutions because (I’m Chinese) and really hadn’t thought about trying it. What I think that I should change is my habit of going to sleep late. I usually go to sleep at 10:00 pm or later because I either read for a long time or just don’t want to go to bed. I also might want to keep watching TV. A positive result of going to bed early is that I will then be able to sleep more and have a better day in the morning. (I will then also to be able to read more) I could also make my day more productive by changing or stopping this habit. So this year, my personal goal is to go to sleep at about 9:30 pm so that I won’t be affected by my choice in the morning and during the day.

#New year, New me

Every year I make a new year's resolution, and most years after the first week, I
already brake them, but this year i’m going to accomplish my goals. One of my new
year revolution is to stop worrying about something that is going to happen in a long
time, or what happened in the past. Enjoy life right now, not tomorrow, not yesterday,
but right now. I'm not saying it's not important to have a plan for your life, and think
about your future, but don't obsess about it. I tend to always worry about my future.
I also hate myself for mistakes I've made in the past, or something I wish I could
change. Something very common that people say is ,"the past is the past”, but it's
true, the past is just the past, so beating myself up for it would be nonsense. The
same with the future, sure i'm going to worry about the near future, however worrying
about college when I still have many years to go is not cool. In conclusion, in 2019, I
will stop worrying about the far future, and the past and focus on the present.

My New Years Resolutions (that I probably won’t fulfill)

Happy New Year folks! (I mean specimens) There are many things I need
to fix this new year, but the top two are probably the words that come out of
my mouth, and how often I procrastinate. I need to fix my language and
grammar, because sometimes I make up words, (okay, more than
sometimes.) I also need to fix my habit of procrastinating, because I do that
too much. That way, if I stop procrastinating I will turn in more assignments
on time, and I won’t feel as stressed. It would also help me have more time
to fit the important more important things into my schedule. Those are a
couple of my new year’s resolutions of things to stop doing, that I probably
won’t fulfill.

Things I need to do less this year (New Years Resolution)

As many of you have figured out, its January, and what comes with January is the dreaded New Years Resolutions. I have many things that I should probably change for this year but I'm just going to be going over the top two. At the number one spot is I need to spend way less time on my phone, there has been days where I spend literally more than 1/3 of my day on my phone, it is a major distraction and nobody needs to spend that much time on a small device. The second second thing that i need to less this year is to yell a lot less at my parents. They are people too and even though I feel like they are just being dumb and cruel, they are usually protecting me from life. I need to thank them for legit everything in my life. Those are the main things in my life that I should probably change this year.

A Rant of What I Need to Stop Doing in 2019

Okay, we all know that I need to stop doing a lot of things. For example, reenacting the most
dramatic scenes in my favorite movies in my bathroom (Trust me, it happens a lot.) But there
are also more serious things I need to stop doing like, procrastinating, playing on my phone
all the time, and making excuses. One of the most serious things I need to stop doing is
second-guessing myself. I’m always limiting myself and never letting myself go past my
comfort zone. I repeatedly talk myself out of voicing my opinion out of fear that others will
reject it. In the process, I slip up on amazing opportunities. That’s why this year I am going to
put more effort into improving my confidence, and stepping out of my comfort zone more often.

Things That I Need to Change in the New Year

Happy New Year!! As you know it is now January which is a time for

resolutions! Most people say that they are going to do something but let's

be realistic, no one actually stays with it. These are a couple things that I

can change in the new year to make it a good year. One is that I will try to

stop eating so much junk food. Junk food is really bad for your body and

can lead to many health problems and I would like to stay as healthy as

possible this year! Another thing I would like to change is to put myself

out there more. I would like to start doing things that may scare me, but

in the long run will be good for me. Those are two things I would like to

change in the new year!

Something I want to Change in 2019

What I Want to Change in 2019

Something I want to  change this year, is to stop

procrastinating.

I’ve been waiting for the last minute to finish my

blogpost and writing contests.

When I’m in class, sometime I tell myself

I’ll do it when I get home.

After that I go home and tell myself I’ll do it another time.

I really wanna start finishing stuff on time, or even early.

You might notice that I finished this in the middle of January.

That was my first step to finishing faster.

So far this year I’ve gotten lots better at turning

things in on time, but I still have a lot more work to do.  

What I am going to stop doing in 2019

I am going to stop spending so much time on screens. Last year, I probably spent 3 ½ hours a day on my tablet, my wii, or my family’s laptop. My family also got chromebooks for christmas which is going to make this even more of a challenge. I am going to try to spend 1 ½ hours of screens a day. Not so much that it bad for me, but not so little that it’s kind of boring. So far this year I have been doing about 2 hours a day, but I am going to gradually get down to that 1 ½ hour mark. I think I have made good progress so far and I have  found other fun things to do that don’t involve looking at a screen. Such as reading and playing lots of cool board games that my family got for christmas. This is what I am going to do this year.

What I need to stop doing in 2019.

      The thing i need to stop doing in 2019 is smashing bugs. Yes I know that its very weird, but I tend to do it a lot. When I look at bugs I just get this satisfying thought of it exploding. And with it being defenseless and me being like an immortal being to this ant I feel just like a giant who's about to wreck havoc. I also want to stop kicking ant piles because I don't want my home to be just YEETED away by just some random giant. And I feel like it would be the most indescribable pain ever felt to get stomped on. I also want to stop trapping them, and basically torturing them. I would gather insects in a bowl covered in butter (so they can't climb out) and slowly fill it with water and drown them. Or just putting small bugs in water bottles and a tad bit of water and shaking it around vigorously. Anyways that what I will be trying to stop doing in 2019 not because I feel like they have had enough, but because my mommy said not to do so.

   
                                                         New Year, New Me

      I think New Year, New Me is an awesome quote that people could use in their personal life goals. I have a couple goals that could use some work on like...procrastinating, going to bed earlier, and try not to be on electronics as much. My worst enemy is procrastinating! When I have to do my writing contest or Monthly bog post, I usually put it off till the week before it's due. I actually did pretty good about it this week. Or when my mom tells me to fold the clothes or clean my closet, well I sometimes put that off too! I need to work on those couple of things. If I do them, then that will make me a better person at school and at home.

New Year, New Me is the most common 2019 quote I've seen all year. In regards to that I decided to compile a list of things I should stop doing in 2019. The list went from biting my nails, eating Chick-Fil-A for every meal to procrastinating. But man my worst enemy is Netflix. I can never fall asleep at night because I'm to busy watching the Bee Movie or Trolls. I have been binge watching Pretty Little Liars and it really has taken a toll on my sleep schedule. I'll do my homework and around 9 I'll start watching Netflix. Of course you can't go to bed without watching at least 2 episodes, but lets be honest 2 turns into 12 in no time. Over Winter break I watched Pretty Little Liars from sunrise to sunset. I was going to bed at 4 am every night. When school came back I knew I was going to have a rough time to fall asleep. I watched Pretty Little Liars until 2 am that night. I was a zombie at school, Mrs. Warby even called me out for falling asleep in her class (EMBARASSING). Now I can fall asleep at 11. I'm kind of improving but my sleep schedule is still off. I only have one more season let! So worth the lost sleep!!!!

Things I would like to change this year!



Everyone has things they like to improve or change for the better, what a better time to do it then in the new year! Somethings that I would like to change this year are, for starters put more effort in to things that I take lightly, or that I need to improve on. I have noticed that I put little effort into things outside of my main goals, and this year I would like to focus on the small things. The second thing I would like to improve is my way at looking at things. I have taken to consideration that I look at a lot of the bad things about a project or a future assignment. I start to think of the worse possible way to do it, and it causes a lot of stress. So I would like to change my look on things to a more positive way of thinking! Those are two of the goals I would like to do/improve!

Things That I Would Like to Change in the New Year

Happy New Year!! As you know it is now January which is a time for resolutions!

Most people say that they are going to do something but let's be realistic, no

one actually stays with it. These are a couple things that I can change in the

new year to make it a good year. One is that I will try to stop eating so much

junk food. Junk food is really bad for your body and can lead to many health

problems and I would like to stay as healthy as possible this year! Another

thing I would like to change is to put myself out there more. I would like to

start doing things that may scare me, but in the long run will be good for me.

Those are two things I would like to change in the new year!

Procrastinating, most all of us do it. I know no one likes that feeling where you think, “Shoot my blog post is due in 3 days and I have done a sentence.” or “I haven’t finished the rest of my math sheet and advisory just ended.” To be honest I always hold off to do my writing contest and my blog post till closer to the end of the month. Just enough stress kicks in to make me not be able to hang out in the week. So this year I am going to finish both my blog post and my contest before the 2nd to last week of the month. This will definitely have an impact on my school work because I won’t end up going to bed later than usual and I will focus in school. This is one of the things I will stop doing to make 2019 a better year.

Jonathan's New Years Resolution & What he Needs to Stop

I need to stop holding back and PROCRASTINATING!!! This lovely paragraph is a good start considering I didn't delay in perfecting this treacherous assignment. My grades, and I'm sure the grades of many others, have previously been exceedingly low at midterm and near the end of various trimesters. It was such a bombardment of infinite pressure and stress to get everything turned in and fixed. If I would just turn things in without delay in place of not doing it until it's last minute, then my atrocious grades would be top notch! I feel upset that my beautiful work is often well done, yet loses points based on my poor timing when it comes to turning it in. Getting into the important habit of turning things in in a timely manner and constantly maintaining good grades is key for my future success. If I would choose get kicked out of honors through the misleading path of procrastination, then I might not have the opportunity to participate in honors classes during the next year, when it really matters more. The classes I chose to take and the grades I choose to get are very important when it comes to college. So I have decided that the key for me is just to set aside small amounts of time from every weekday right after school. This time is only for homework and chores with no exceptions no matter how reasonable they are. If I lose a little bit of screen time because of my wonderful plan, then who would care, and who would it harm? I won't live a long happy life by playing around with electronics during my spare time. Most teenage depression consists of a lack of physical activity, and it is most often replaced by technology. So the brilliant plan I have concocted is that I will stop using any electronics from 2:00-3:00 no matter what, unless it is for homework. In addition to me not using electronics, I will also not be in the same room as any bright, distracting screens, so that my hard work can go wholly undisturbed by intervening flashes and noises. This profound plan will cause a sudden increase in GPA. With homework being done stress is relieved, making me a happier person and consequentially more pleasant to be around. Happiness in the present plays a crucial role in future happiness. I hope sharing this has inspired some of you to make your own plans for things you may want to achieve. Thank you for your pleasurable time. Good luck!

Somethings to stop when a New Year Comes

A new year, a new beginning. In 2019 I plan to stop looking on the bad side of things. When we are given a long assignment, I automatically start looking at the bad things about it. But this year, before I can start listing off the bad things, I’ll take a minute to list the good things too. I’ve seen how having a better attitude towards things have changed the expected outcome. This year I want to try that for myself. If I have a better outlook on things, I will have a much better attitude towards things. A better attitude can make all the difference. If I have a better outlook than I can have a great rest of the year. That is one thing I hope comes with the new year.

What I need to STOP doing

This year, I made a whole list of things that I need to start doing, along with things that I need to STOP
doing. One thing that I think is most important for me to get out of habit, is getting to bed on time!
It is the weirdest thing, I always seem to have enough time to do the simple tasks it takes to get in bed.
I tell myself that I am going to go to bed at nine, but then so many things get in my way. So, this year, I
was thinking that maybe I could do something to make myself go to bed at nine so I can get a good
solid 9 hours of sleep at least!! Some things I am going to do to make myself go to bed earlier is to
make a list of the things that distract me. If I make this list, then, maybe I could get a bigger picture
of all the things I need to avoid when it gets close to my bedtime. Another thing that I will try, is to
focus on my homework and get it done faster so that way I can get that out of my way and move on!
This I will work on a lot this year!!

Things I should stop doing

Happy new year!!! As you probably know January is time for new years resolutions and
promises, a lot of people are trying to be better at a lot of things. All though many people make
the promises very few people carry them out, so instead of saying what I want to do I’m going
to say what I need to change. So the first thing would be to manage my time better haha,
everything would run way smoother! I could get more stuff done in less time, and have more
time for fun! Second, would be that I need to change is Being nicer to my parents they do so
much and I’m super grateful for them. They do so much for me and everyone in my family!
 Haha I should probably stop eating Chic-Fil-A it’s probably not good to have fast food for
every meal lol !! Anyway what are some things you need to stop doing?

New Years Resolution

There are probably a lot more things that I need to stop doing in 2019, but the main thing, is to stop procrastinating. It isn't a very big problem of mine, and it usually doesn't end up affecting me very much, but it would be nice to get everything done earlier. This would really help me with school assignments, to help me get them done earlier and not have to worry about them so much. Not procrastinating would also help me to be able to have other free time to do more stuff. Last year I had an assignment to do, but I forgot about it, but then I woke up in the middle of the night, and remembered it. I got out of bed, and had to type up a whole writing contest and 3:00 am. If I hadn't procrastinated, I would have been able to get and extra 30 minutes of sleep. So, that is the main thing that I would like to change for the new year. But luckily I'm not procrastinating about this blog post, because I already finished it.

                                Things to Stop for 2019


One thing that I am going to stop doing this year to try not to stress. Sometimes I will get really stressed it makes me sick to my stomach. I'll get really stressed from school work and I need to learn to control myself and not freak out about it. One of the main things I need to do to fix this problem is to NOT PROCRASTINATE! I always wait till the last second to post on the blog post or do my writing contest, and that brings a lot of stress. So right now I am starting to stop my terrible habit and get in the game by doing the blog post!!!!  By doing this it will bring me less stress in school and at home. While I am at home sometimes I can't do the fun things other people are doing because I am not done with my homework... when it's due the next day!!! So if I don't procrastinate I can do more fun things and not stress!! 2019 here I come!

New Year, New You!

It’s a new year--a great time to set new goals and change old habits. Last year I fell into a bad routine of staying up way too late. Every morning I would be so tired and grumpy but just blamed it on school starting too early. After having a few weeks over winter break to recharge, I realized that it's not the school’s fault, it's mine. In 2019 I will change my bad habit and stop staying up so late. I am promising myself to go to bed earlier so I can get enough sleep.  Even if I get home late from dance, have a lot of homework or would rather watch one more episode of my show on Hulu, I will go to bed. I think that when I do this, I will become a happier person and have the energy I need to make it through the day. When I stay up late, I wear myself out in the first hour at school. I need to last through the whole day! Hopefully this year I will make a change and I can get the sleep I need. I will be a better, nicer, well-rested person.

What I Need To Stop Doing

New Years is a great way to start fresh with a new beginning. There are tons of things I should stop doing that would help me in school and being a better person.  The one thing I know I NEED to stop doing is second-guessing myself all the time. Whenever I do something I always have these thoughts going on inside my head saying that I'm not doing something right or I'm going to get it wrong so end up changing my mind and doing it over. Sometimes it helps me because it really makes me think about what I'm doing and sometimes I find mistakes. Second-guessing myself also makes me hold back from gaining the courage to do something. Like for example the other night I was baking a cake, I mean how complicated could that when your reading directions from a box? Anyways I second-guessed myself a lot while doing it and it was making me think I was doing something wrong. So in the long run, second-guessing myself made me miss out on things and get things wrong too. Especially when I'm doing something right and then I second-guess my self and end up getting whatever I'm doing wrong. So I NEED to STOP second-guessing myself!

WHAT TO STOP

I definitely know there are a TON of things I should stop doing, but I think what is most important is to stop pushing things away. I have a desk in my room, to do all my projects on and to store things. The problem is, it gets REALLY messy. (looking back, I realize why my floor is covered in paint) I always tell myself to just clean it, but I honestly am scared that it would take forever. So I keep pushing it away. Anyway it just gets messy again, right? I push away things I am afraid of, even the little things. the other night, I was reading a random book, and for some reason it had instructions on how to read a palm. (DON'T ASK!) so I tried it and whenever my palm "said" something I didn't want, I lied to myself. I know if I try, I can accomplish big things I just need to stop PUSHING THINGS AWAY !!!

Things to Improve this Year

This year is a great year for new beginings! I need to stop doing a lot of things, but one
 thing I could stop is procrasinating. I always am up at 12:00 the night before the assignment
 is do. I need my sleep if I can just get the assignment done when it is assigned that would
 benifit me a lot. Another thing is I need to stop watching tv and start reading more. I am
 always behind in reading, and I think I could really get caught up and maybe even get ahead
 if I start reading when I usually watch tv. The last thing is that I need to is stop hanging out
 with my friends so much and spend morer time at home with my dog and my family. That is
what I need to stop and start doing.

Things to abandon for the New Year

There are many things I want to accomplish and stop doing for the new year. First of all, I would like to stop eating more junk food. I'd like to eat healthier to become healthier. Secondly, I would try to exercise more because I would be sitting in a chair for most of the day. Third of all, I think it will be cool ( for me ) to learn another skill that would be fun to do. Also, I think it would help me a lot if I would organize my work so it won't get lost. I noticed a lot last year that I had a lot of absences. I'd make a goal like "I'd go to school if I am not barfing like crazy or on some type of family emergencies.". I could go on and on about these new year resolutions but I wouldn't know how to keep up with all of them. So the final thing I am going to start this year is finding a way to keep up and keep doing these goals. Well, I hope I didn't take up too much of your time and I hope you achieve your goals too in this new year!

Resolution to Stop!

One thing that I will STOP doing is judging. I sometimes tend to make assumptions before getting to know the person. It leads to gossip, and that is never good. When I judge, it doesn't make me feel any better about myself, and I'm sure that the person on the other end wouldn't feel any better either. Judging is a no-win situation. I know that it is easy to get caught up in all of it when I'm with other people. It can sometimes be hard to stop and say we shouldn't judge or gossip, which is why I am deciding to end that bad habit and stop judging.

🚫What NOT to do in the New Year!🚫

With the New Year finally here, and a new, more mature 13 year old me, there are plenty of resolutions to make.  First off, I need to procrastinate less. Most of my work has been in on time, but I have had some late stuff. If I get more stuff in on time, I will have better grades. Sometimes, I ignore my mom when she tells me to do something, and I need to stop that. She usually knows what the right thing to do is, and I take her advice for granted. I can easily be distracted, and I need to stop... well, stopping my work to watch other people do their stuff. If I can stay focused, 2019 will be my best year!

January Blog Post: Due January 31st

Hello! Welcome 2019:) As you know, this time of year is quite popular for setting goals and resolutions to improve yourself. However, there is another school of thought that believes we make more progress when we decide what to STOP doing.

Your assignment is to write 1 paragraph on what you will STOP doing this year that will help improve you as a student and/or as a person. Remember to comment on at least 3 other posts. You can make it funny (stop peeing in the pool) or serious (stop being quiet when your friends start to make fun of someone). It needs to be a LONG paragraph, 7-10 sentences, and be very descriptive. Thanks!
