New year’s resolution
A New Year – A New Beginning Based on Principles
For a first-year student, the beginning of a new year represents an important stage of transformation. It is the moment when everyone can establish clear principles that will help them grow harmoniously on all levels: physically, mentally, professionally and spiritually.
Physically, a new year means taking care of your health. A student who gets enough sleep, eats a balanced diet, and exercises will have more energy to cope with academic demands. A healthy body supports a clear mind and a better ability to concentrate.
Mentally, it is important to cultivate emotional balance and self-confidence. Freshman year can bring stress, emotions, and insecurity, but through organization, optimistic thinking, and perseverance, these difficulties can be overcome. A student who manages their emotions will be able to learn more effectively and have better relationships with those around them.
Professionally, the new year is a chance to build our future. Adhering to principles such as seriousness, constant work, and the desire to progress helps students become competent and responsible. Every course, project, and exam is a step towards the desired career.
Spiritually, a new year is an invitation to reflection and inner growth. Values such as respect, kindness, and gratitude help us to be better people and to maintain meaning in everything we do. Spirituality provides peace and motivation, especially during difficult times.
Alex Ștefan…..,,The year 2026 for me will be a year full of positive changes, in which I will realize more things about myself and at the same time I will work to become a better version of myself.
First of all, what would help me in the long term is to practice any kind of sport whenever I have the opportunity, whether it is just a little game or a movement in the park because the lack of movement affects me to some extent, because in the past I practiced exercise at the gym for 2 and a half years where I felt the best and it changed my life the most. I often avoid sports due to lack of time, or I look for different excuses such as: ,,you don’t have the proper nutrition anymore”, ,,you sleep 5-6 hours, how will you maintain your hormonal balance?”
Secondly, I need to make small adjustments in my life, because the path I am going to follow will be full of ups and downs and I often feel overwhelmed by this more ,,busy” lifestyle and I also want to learn to manage my time better, bringing me the desired results. A very good thing that I would like to achieve next year would be to stop procrastinating, and to keep working, because very often I waste time unnecessarily through activities that have no meaning, but I sometimes indulge myself by saying that it is better to take a break. It is true that you cannot be like a battery-powered robot that is charged non-stop, you have to know when it is good to stop for a while to recharge your batteries and that is what I will try my best to do, to be more aware and logical by throwing the more airy version of myself out the window.
Another factor that I would be happy to manage better would be stress. Many times in this life I have failed with many things and I have always tried to somehow redirect my energy to build something better, but many times I fell into the trap of alcohol or tobacco having somehow a ,,safe cover” lying to myself that they can give me a good feeling but many times the opposite was proven, due to the withdrawals that we all know about and should be aware of. The amount and level of emotional intelligence of each one really matters a lot, because let’s be serious: ,,how many times have I said that we don’t drink alcohol anymore?” or that ,,that’s it, this is the last cigarette!”
What I would like to do more often is interact more ,,healthily” with my friends, but the fact that most of them have chosen to go their separate ways has made me get used to the idea that ,,this is how it has to be” although if you want, you can compromise. Speaking of compromises, in the past I made a lot of compromises for most of the people in my life, but I need to unlearn this habit and put myself first. I know it may sound selfish, but I have often suffered because of decisions like ,,let it go like this and I’ll see how I solve the rest of the things for myself”. I need to learn to say NO more often, even if from the outside it seems like something negative, but it’s not.
For the future, I would like to stop being so afraid and try to make a portrait – manifest the person I want to become. Maybe I don’t believe in this manifestation thing, but on the habits side, I should install more good habits and reduce or even completely cut out the bad ones from my life.
The sum of the vices remains the same!
As a final argument, as long as I stick to my job and do everything I set out to do, I say that nothing can go wrong. In the end, we are human and we have to learn from mistakes and improve, not fall into a worse trap. I want to become a better person overall, more tenacious and make better decisions in critical moments. The rest will follow by itself. Let’s all have a better one!”
