New Year’s Aspirations

Interviews by Wambui Karanja


    When the new year rolls around, there’s a scramble to refresh our goals and turn over new leaves in areas of our lives that we perceive to be lacking. Some popular goals include hitting the gym more often, reading more books, or following a stricter study regiment. Whatever the case may be, most of us set goals in the new year in order to become better versions of ourselves.

    I asked a few freshmen students here on campus what some of their new year’s aspirations were for 2021—whether social, religious, academic, or other—and here are their responses:

Sarah Coleman (freshman, psychology): “To get an A in my biology class, definitely. I also strive to be whole—in terms of my body, mind, soul, and spirit. And I would also like to be more involved.”

Jennifer Jean (freshman, biology): “My goal is to find a lifestyle that is most conducive to achieving overall wellness. This includes going to the gym, eating more nutritious foods, and following a study schedule that works for me.”

Drusilla Apola (freshman, speech pathology): “I actually didn’t set New Year's resolutions this year because I feel like I shouldn’t wait to start changing what I want to change until the new year. The Bible says to not put off for tomorrow what you can do today. If I see something in my life that needs to be changed, I will start changing it that day. One goal that I have recently set for myself is to make sure I read my devotion every day.”
