The new year is the perfect time to start fresh and practice healthy habits. It’s easy to list your resolutions and imagine a plethora of goals you’d like to accomplish, but the hard part is actually sticking to them. There’s a lot of pressure in society to overachieve and create goals that are nearly impossible to accomplish. When CHS students were asked if they had ever had a failed new year’s resolution, 14/15 students said yes. So here are five manageable goals that your classmates have set for themselves for 2024…
