Advantages: Great fireworks! Disadvantages: Have to get a spot early!
Standing on a boat in the centre of Sydney harbour the expectation starts to build, new friends stand shoulder to shoulder, lovers hugging and holding hands and children bursting with the anticipation of it all.
10,8,9 I squeeze the hand of my new travel buddy next to me, 7,6,5, this is it my dream coming true, 4,3,2, here it comes 1 ' Happy NewYear' !! The sound of fireworks fills my ears and the sky is crammed with the bright colours of fireworks exploding left, right and centre. Screams of delight and smiling faces surround me as I am filled with emotion.
This time last year I was at a house party in London watching the Sydney fireworks on TV and a year on there I was standing in the middle of it all, maybe some NewYears revolutions can happen.

Advantages: will help you become a better person Disadvantages: may cause discomfort
As a young child I was well aware of the concept of NewYear's resolutions. People would make promises to themselves and to others that this year would be better and they would kick away old habits and adopt new ones. The sad fact is that many of this year's resolutions will go unfulfilled and be recycled into next year's NewYear's resolutions.

Advantages: The start of a new year to improve on things Disadvantages: Can you stick to them?
This year is going to be very different for me, as last year wasn't brilliant!
****RESOLUTIONS***
We all make NewYear's Resolutions to gains ome kind of achievement, whether its to stop smoking which will save you money and make you a lot healthier or loosing weight because you've put on a few extra pounds over the past year.
Do you feel you have to make the same resolutions as your friends? I think you need to work out what your problems are in your life or what has happened over the past year and you need to see how you can improve them. This can lead to your NewYear's Resolutions!
Don't make stupid resolutions you know you can't stick to!
***WHY WAS LAST YEAR SO BAD?***
