Is all that Guinness giving you a beer belly?
New Year’s Eve is approaching; the perfect holiday for you to resolve any of your imperfections, or bad habits. It will soon be time to celebrate the end of 2002 and the beginning of a brand new year.
Do Fairfield University students have resolutions for the New Year or plans for New Year’s Eve?
For most, it is difficult to not give into the resolution urge on the brink of the New Year’s holiday. Fairfield University students though, seem to be sick of the idea and their failure to be successful.
“I used to make them but they never work,” said Nora Lopez, ’03.
“They’re pointless,” said Andrew MacDonald, ’03. “No one ever follows through with them.”
New Year’s is mostly defined by the celebration the night before. Where will you be when you make that countdown to 2003? Fairfield students have a variety of plans.
“I’m going to Times Square in New York City,” said Justin Szypot, ’03.
“I’m probably going out in Boston to bars with friends from home,” said Kim Cullen, ’03.
“I might be going to visit a friend in Boston, or the bars in New York in my hometown,” said Lopez.
Some stay away from our college town, some come back to Fairfield to party with friends.
“I’m going to parties at the beach,” said Maura Coffey, ’03.
“I’m either going to a friend’s party in Montreal or I’m going to a party at the beach. Either Canada or Fairfield,” said Kris Klein, ’03.
New Year’s Eve is always a planned out event, building up the expectation of a night filled with fun and excitement. For some though, New Year’s Eve has never quite lived up to its reputation.
“I like the idea of New Year’s Eve but I think people get all excited about it and make all these elaborate plans but in the end, nothing ends up happening,” said Meg Main, ’03.
For this New Year’s though, let’s hope that we enjoy our nights to the fullest. It is a chance for us to celebrate the passing year, and the anticipate the coming year.
“New Year’s is a time to stop and reflect upon the good and bad times. Everyone has a chance to start anew and strive to be better people,” said Jon Mackin, ’03. “But then on Jan, 2, everyone goes back to doing the same detrimental activities.”
