Ambar Ramirez: 

“It has come to my attention that I have horrible time management so for 2024 I would like to work on that! But I make no promises.”

 

Carmen Macri: 

“I am pretty perfect, but if I had to choose, I would like to go on more adventures. I spend all of my time reading or writing. I would like to spend more time traveling.” 

 

Teresa Spencer:

“To wind back the aging clock haha!  Plan to work on a better body and wrinkle control lol… And to start dating again … maybe.”

 

Kelila Ritchie:

“My New Year’s resolution is to be more me-oriented. Doing more of the things I love and discovering more things that I love. This is the year “of like realizing stuff.” *Kylie Jenner voice*”

 

Carson Rich: 

“To go out more and not be a loser who just watches football and drinks beer all day.”

 

Mallory Pace: 

“My New Year’s resolution is to invest in myself by spending more time doing things that bring me joy, and less time worrying about things I can’t control.”

 

Amiyah Golden: 

“To stop eating like a toddler. May I consume foods other than chicken tenders and French fries.”

 

Kerry Speckman:

“My resolution is to not judge people when they use ‘your’ instead of ‘you’re.’ And to volunteer more.”
