New Year’s resolutions have been a big part of the New Year’s since people can remember.  Personally I believe that New Year’s resolutions are not that important, people just give them up before January is even over.  People think that it is such a good idea before they even think about if they will truly go through with these plans.  Some people actually do.  However most people tend to just give them up because they are too much for them to handle with their busy schedules.  I believe that people should start off with simple plans like not going on your phone as much, spending more time with your family, excreta.  This year I have decided that I am going to spend less time on my phone, iPod, and any other technology that distracts me because I have realized that I am dependent on knowing what other people are doing even if I do not know them.  People say that it is easy to give up internet but, some people do not think that.  Truthfully I start to feel anxious when I am not connected because I am scared that I am going to miss something big.  I made this resolution out of a sense that I unknowing reached for the phone even when I really didn’t need to.  I do this all while I am out with family and friends always wondering if I have a text or notification even if I don’t feel it vibrate in my pocket.  It was my friends that pointed that out to me one day before Christmas break making me think about it during the winter break.  In the end I agreed with them seeing how dependent I was on my phone and decided that I was going to make that my New Year’s resolution for 2015.
