It is the beginning of another 366 days, 56 weeks and 12 months. It is really and truly a new beginning for so many people and there are so many New Year resolutions and planned achievements for the new year 2016. New year resolution is a tradition for many to be in their best behavior in the new year. For some people, their new year resolution is as basic as being a good person in the coming year and some others have laid down goals they plan to achieve. As the year starts, Gündem newspaper met with some Eastern Mediterranean University students and they shared their New Year resolutions and what they plan to achieve in 2016.
We conversed with Guillance Axice, a Cameroonian in the department of Public relations and Advertising and she shared her new year resolution with us. She said “In 2016, I will like to join Turkish class and groups to improve my Turkish learning skills.”

Lynda Ngango is a Cameroonian student in the department of Public relations and Advertising. Her New Year resolution for the year 2016 is that; “I would like to join any group or club talking more about media literacy, critics or cultural studies. This is to build my ability to comprehend, discern and evaluate various advertisements” she said.

Ngozi is a Nigerian student in the department of International relations. We spoke with her and she shared her New Year resolutions. She said “I want to Increase in my spirituality and I also want to become a fruitarian”.
New Year resolutions are necessary to have every new year. It is basically a way to check yourself in retrospection from the previous year and trying to improve on the things you lagged behind on. Interestingly, the students of EMU are not left behind in hoping for this better new year.
