A student has great responsibilities which sometime
makes their routine monotonous. And then new year
arrives and gives them an opportunity to kill their mo-
notony and reshape into creativity. It is a great time
to spend with family and friends and to make new
bonds. It gives us an opportunity to forget past and
start afresh with new vigour. Those who take the op-
portunity transform themselves and those who miss
it, stay the same. This new year exploit your creativi-
ties, go on a holiday, refresh your life and comeback
to thrive for success. And make the most important
resolution of our life, to be a better human being.

of new hopes and the onset of a new era for those who
wish to exploit their potential. Making a resolution is a
common habit among people but keeping that is a rare
one. The students must take up the prospect of new
year to introspect their mistakes and reform
themselves. Promise yourself to eat healthy, respect
people, stand against injustice and to build a
marvelous character. And be among the rare ones who
retain their promises and bring great life altering con-
sequences. Make this new year a memorable one that
you would cherish ever after.
