New year resolutions

Resolutions are a promise to do something new, to do something better. Note that solution is part of the word resolution.  Also take note that the add-on re sort of means new, as in a new solution. These are usually made on days considered to be fresh starts. The most common type of resolutions are New Years resolutions, since it is the beginning of the year and the end of the old. Other dates that usually have resolutions made on them are the first day of school, camp, summer, or your birthday.
