A Time for Change: Revisited

Last week, three WOU students were interviewed about their New Year’s resolutions. This week, they were asked about whether they were keeping up with them or not. Let’s see how they did!

Jocelyn Chavez, a junior anthropology major, had a main goal of being healthier. This included working on her mental health and improving her sleep. Another one of her goals was to go on a Tinder date. Was she successful?

When asked about her resolutions, Chavez responded, “I have been working out more, I’ve been taking niacin a bit more, so I’ve been sleeping really well, actually. As far that first Tinder date, I’ve got one coming up on Sunday.”

Another resolutioner was Mariah Williams, a senior interdisciplinary studies major. Her goals included getting healthier and being happy single.

“I’ve been eating pretty healthy, not eating sugar. That’s going good. And my other resolution for being single is going okay; I haven’t gone on any dates, so that’s good,” Williams said. She also has not given into the temptation of accepting phone calls from men who might be looking for a date.

Health was a primary focus for resolutioners, shown again with Justin Oehler, a senior education major. His goals, which were inspired by a health class he is enrolled in, were to work out more and get in shape.

“I’m going to [try] to follow them as best I can, I have had a hard time getting back in the swing of things but I feel better about this week. Gym three times this week is my goal and eating vegetables,” said Oehler.

While there may be some faltering, overall our resolutioners are successful thus far. This bodes well for the year to come!
