2017 Resolutions

Hey Jammers, tomorrow is the first day of the new year. You know, sometimes I think people get a little too crazy about new year's celebrations. For me it's just an extra number to add when I write the date on school assignments. XD

Some people are really, really happy that 2016 is close to over. A lot of *cough* things happened this year that were very jarring. Still, I don't think just having an extra year number will change much of what people are eager to leave behind. Real concrete change needs to happen on a personal level and on a widespread level if you really want to make lasting positive change in your world.

And big change starts with small change. Widespread change starts with individual change.

So, corny or not, here are just a few very general resolutions for 2017, for me and for you:

1. Stop staring at your phone or computer and go outside for once. Nothing's gonna change if you keep to the same distracted habits and give social media too much power over your life.

2. Be kind to the Earth because the environment affects all corners of your life, no matter how many plastic bubbles you put yourself in. Think about how the word "human" is derived from the word humus, which means dirt. You are a part of this world and it is your job to respect it and protect it for all our sakes.

3. Be as understanding as you can of different experiences and points of view. It's okay to have friends who are different from you.

Because today is the last day of the Jamaaliday calendar, here it is in full with all of this month's prizes:

I hope you all have a wonderful new year. ^-^
