what does the New Year being?

Every year along with the body of society i attempt (in a vain hope of sticking too a pre-planned action) to make a new years resolution that could be potentially life changing Eg:
-Lose weight
-study harder
-work harder
-make a new friend
-commit to posting a blog regularly. ie. everyday
-visit a foreign country


and as 2010 draws closer to its abrupt end i have realised, resolutions are just not for me, i seriously don't think i have the patience or the perseverance too stick too any of the above. Which makes me wonder, why does everybody commit too resolutions that are unavoidable, unnecessary, or just plain unachievable in the space of that current new year. I mean obviously all of the above could be quite do able but truthfully i need too study harder, work harder and probably lose wight, I'm going too make new friends as i do that quite regularly and I'm not going to Europe any time soon...even though it would be cool.
I think we make resolutions in an attempt to say "i will better myself in some way this year by..-insert resolution here-.." and there's nothing wrong with that, but I'm guessing that 8 out of 10 people don't stick too their resolution for more than a month, because they go at it like a bull at a gate and either get bored or make it too hard for themselves, just like i do.
This year, as in 2011 I'm thinking i will make a too do list of things i would like too achieve in 2011 and cross off as many as i can, and if i don't complete some I'll just carry them through too the next year, if i still feel i would like too pursue that achievement.


So without further a due i present.
 My To Do List For 2011:
-Get my P's (provisional license)
- Finish my HSC
-Work on my photography
-Go on adventures and explore
-Get my first tattoo
-Continue my piercing collection


Too me that isn't so bad, i don't feel as if i have too get in straight away and go nuts with it, i can be casual and take my time, after all i have an entire year and there's only six things on the list....so far.
I'll keep you posted.
What would be on your to do list for the big New Year?
