    Well it's that time of year again where we all kid ourselves that the promises we make for 2006 will be fulfilled. So with that being said, what are your plans for UCD in 2006?

    Behold my New year's Resolutions for 2006 in UCD:

    - Do well in my exams. :o

    - Cut down on the number of fines I get in the library.

    - Go to the clubs/socs that I neglected in the first semester.

    - Check out the famous girl in the SU library shop. ;)

    - Actually go to college. (Fairly important)

    - Experience being drunk on campus for the first time

    - Write about Pat P! :D

    What are yours then?

    Doing well in the exams would certainly be one thing. Work my arsé off to try and find a bassist for my band rather than just sitting by and hoping one will show up.
    Oh, and go to the battle of the bands stuff!

    - Actually do my essays

    - Go to my lectures

    - Be nicer to my boyfriend (i'm awful mean to him)

    - Study!!

    :p

    -Save a bit of money this year (I earned 15k last year and spent it all)
    -Study enough not to fail any exams this year

    Good luck, if you're up at an hour like this (like me :D), it's one hell of a cycle to break. Take up manual labour during the day to exhaust you! ;)

    Anyway, I'm not a fan of New Years resolutions as they are bogey and always never turn out but mine is.....

    As for your non-attendance....SHAME ON YOU!


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 7,486 ✭✭✭Red Alert


    be warned grimes, the girl can be quite persuasive.

    - knuckle down to my project
    - go to the next boards beers
    - actually do some study (better get a handle on this final year lark)
    - vote for panda

    Wahoo one vote-yipee!thats made my day:)

    And boneless it is just physically impossible to eat a kebab sober your stomach will just repel it-im telling you.Also it is physically impossible to go into abrakebabra during the day-it is wrong and goes against all the laws of nature.Kebabs espec from abrakebra must only be consumed at 4 in the morning in a pretty intoxicated state!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 738 ✭✭✭TheVan


    Resolutions.....
    1. Study the subjects i completely neglected last term
    2. Cook proper food and not eat chips in UCD, in other words finish the year without some form of disease!
    3. Go out a hell of a lot more than last term! a target not a project!
    4. Try to be nice to all and sundry....except not nice people!
    5. Find a nice girl....again more a target, not a project!
    6. Torture myself into changing myself so that i can do with less than 10 hours sleep cos this system just aint working for me!
    7. I'd say go to the gym or re-join a football team but thats not gonna happen so lets just say go for a run now and then
    8. I'm sure there's more!........06 is the year for change....i can feel it in my eyelids....what?the phrase is bones?? Ok wel then i can feel it in my bones!
