'I want to get my priorities in order, because I spend way too much time working for the Student Union and at a hotel because I need the money. However, I'm throwing away my degree, which I’ve spent just over ten thousand pounds on. I know too many people who do this at university and fail their courses because of it, and I’m determined not to re-sit a year'. Kimberli Butler, Preston.

'My aim is to get up at 6am and listen to Radio 4 (without falling asleep) and buy newspapers every morning so that I am up-to-date with the news. I also want to read more, and make a conscious extra effort to keep in touch with friends'. Nafisa Sayani, University of Central Lancashire.

'My aim for the New Year is to eat breakfast and make my bed every morning before I leave my house, start the day on a good note!' Kirsty Louise Watkinson, Darwen.

'My New Year’s resolution is to continue developing a normal relationship with food and exercise, and maintaining that relationship'. Joanna Hill, University of Carlisle.

'My aim is to take more photographs, so I can look back and see what I have achieved and done over the year'. Stephanie Mayor, Edge Hill University.

'I’ll try to reduce my road rage!' Angela Taylor, Preston.

The Guys:

'Exercise my legs and undo the damage inflicted by years of sitting on my ass. I also want to grow and gel my hair to attract more ladies, go into town with a friend dressed as the men in black, try never be jealous, and beat up a bully'. Lewis Ormerwood, Preston.

'Reduce unnecessary time on Internet!' James Niblock, Northern Ireland.

'I’m planning to eat my own body weight in Special K.' Ken Pridham, Lancashire.

'I’m going to give up gambling in 2009, which means no more lottery or football bets. I also want to keep healthy and continue going to the gym'. Jack Johnson, Preston.

'I aim to give up drinking for 40 days...will never happen.. Simon Kushner, Manchester.

'I was going give up sex to prove a point.. Philip Boocock, Manchester.

So there you have it, some of the most unusual resolutions that people came up with for 2009. Let’s hope they stick to them, except maybe the guy who wants to give up sex!

Happy New Year!
