Wow vows for 2012

The New Year is around the corner and most of the students have already planned their vacations and party plans for the year end. Many are also making plans to start the year on a more improved note and hence busy in jotting down the list of resolutions for 2012. We checked with college students to find out what are the interesting vows they are planning to take up for next year.
Trishala Shandilya, final year student at Jesus and Mary College, says that she will be travelling with her friends next year. She says, “My next year’s resolution is to spend more time outdoors and meet friends. I have decided to go out and see places and meet real people instead of spending time on the Internet. In 2012, I want to do less social-networking and get rid of my Facebook addiction.”
While some plan to get more active outdoors, others want to get indoors and sweat it out. Pranav Shukla, second year student at Ansal Institute of Technology, says, “I want to adopt a healthy regime for 2012. I have already singed up for a yoga class in the morning and I hope to at least complete the basic level there. I have realised that I am an expert in procrastinating things so next year I’ll try to shed my lazy habits and get healthy.”
Khushali Mathur, a BBA student at IIPM, feels that since there is too much hoopla about the world coming to an end in 2012, she'll make most of her time. She says, “For 2012 I have decided to be happier and crib less about college and studies. I will be devoting time to my hobbies and will make sure that I don’t get stressed about exams too much. I’ll concentrate in classes more and won’t miss out on important classes.”
However, a few students feel that resolutions do not last very long and within a month or so people forget them. Sarthak Kush, a first year student at DU, says, “This year I’ll have more realistic resolutions because every year I follow the pledges for sometime and then I leave them mid way. I’ll take up my guitar classes more seriously in 2012 so that I can hone my skills.”
