New Year, New You

Welcome to 2008. It's a little crazy to think that another year has gone by, but every new year provides us all with, in essence, a do-over.

Did you feel remorse for cutting that class last January?

Not asking that girl out in April?

Eating that entire pizza pie in September?

...or drinking all 17 of those shots your "friends" gave you in November? (maybe it was 26..)

No matter how you look at it. All of 2007 is officially in the past and this new year is a chance to create a new you. So instead of making small improvements or making resolutions, why not be that person that you fantasize about. You know, the one with the brilliant mind, perfect body and all the popularity to boot.

Even if you are moreso a realist than an idealist, just fake it until you make it. Realize what "perfection" may cost. You may lose friends, alienate family or even awaken fears within yourself. However, if all of this change helps you to not only find but also attain your inner truth, the risks and losses will be worth it and the gains will be immense.
