Unusual New Year’s Resolutions

10 months ago 01st Jan 09:00

New Year’s resolutions always encourage interesting discussions, arguments and laughs, so FemaleFirst conducted a study to find out all the weird and wonderful things that people want to achieve this year, and the results were quite unpredictable.

Where women are concerned, it appears that most want to keep fit and healthy and try to be more organised. Men, however, came up with some pretty strange answers, ranging from giving up sex to dressing up as the Men in Black.

Read on to find out what you think about these enthusiasts’ resolutions.

The Girls:

'I want to learn to swim this year because I can’t believe that I’m twenty and still can’t do it. I want to have learnt in time for my summer holiday so I don’t miss out on the sea or pool anymore'. Adella Baxter, Preston.

'To travel as much as possible and whenever I have the chance, even if it is just to places in the UK, as long as I am having fun and seeing new things and learning about new cultures. I want to avoid worrying about the cost too, as it will be something that enriches my life anyway, just not materially'. Sophie Emily Scott, London.

'My mum entered me into the Manchester Great North run in May, so I need to do huge amounts of training. I am also befriending a herd of computer geeks; they are fabulous and do lots of re-enactments of video games, and have asked me to craft up some fantasy war costumes for them! Finally, my main aim for the year is to find a place to live in New York, and find myself a Mr Big!' Bethan Fearnley, University of Huddersfield.
