RESOLUTION 2020
From all of us here at Georgia Voice, we’re all eager to share what resolutions we’ll try to hold firm to in the new year! It’s clear as day that this year and the start of a new decade will be the best yet!
Katie Burkholder
Digital Content Senior Staffer
“2020 is the year of ME. This year I want to prioritize my mental health over everything: finally going to therapy, getting off social media (for good), being easier on myself for my shortcomings, looking for help from friends and family when I need it, and caring less about what people think about me and more about what I think of me.”
Tim Boyd
Publisher
“I’d like to not to make resolutions but to practice moderation in all areas of my life. Begin with an end in mind.”
Rob Boeger
Art Director
“I’ve never really been one for resolutions at the start of the new year. I always think that when I need to change something about myself such as dieting, curbing my attitude, or just trying to be a better person, that I should start it when I have the thought to do so.”
Melissa Carter
Columnist
“I normally don’t make resolutions, as I think most are too ambitious. However, I would like to practice love and forgiveness more this year since that is the true foundation for a better life.”
Aidan Edwards
Freelance Writer
“My resolution this year is to get more sleep and to actually take time to breathe. I’m a three- to five-hour-a-night kind of guy. It’s recently occurred to me that I have taken on the American values of being addicted to my work. It runs in the family. We often tell each other to take it easy. Hypocrisy runs in the family too. Maybe I should work on that as well.”

“My resolution is to continue working on self-care by being more consistent with my workouts and powerlifting training. Also, to eat healthier.”
Jessica Vue
Freelance Writer
“I’d like to continue progressing professionally, save up my money, build my credit and move out of the house (coincidentally, this is also my mom’s new year resolution). I’d also like to really focus on health more and create an attainable, balanced-ish lifestyle. I recently joined a gym for the first time outside of school and would like to jump on swimming lessons for a future family trip to Hawaii! I guess I need to learn how to do those high dives too.”
O’Brian Gunn
Freelance Writer
“One of my resolutions is to form deeper, stronger connections with the most important people in my life. I feel I usually tend to skim the surface in regards to both allowing people to know me and getting to know other people. I’d like to work on plunging deeper and going further.”
Dallas Duncan
Freelance Writer
“This year I am determined to finish all of my knitted birthday, baby shower and holiday presents before I have to give them to their recipients! ... A goal that will begin once I finish my dad’s sweater, which was his Christmas present two years ago. Progress not perfection, right?”
