If you are anything like me you make 30 resolutions when the New Year rolls around. It’s as if the glimmer of hope only comes on Jan. 1st . When the ball drops and the countdown begins, you reach for that stream of faith that boosts you to action. I am 21 years old, a broadcast journalism major, and what is  my New Year’s resolution? My resolution is to be my biggest fan and always to believe in myself.

What do you have to say? Here are some of the New Year’s resolutions of the students of Paradise Valley Community College:
