New Year, New Me

Well, well, well. Would you look at that...its 2023 already! Queue the social media post about “New Year, New Me” but who are we fooling??

The new year is time for people to start fresh and change their habits of the past year. Some people say they are going to eat healthier, cut down on drinking, exercise more, call their families more...whatever it may be, time for change!! But the real question is, how long will these resolutions last? According to the NY Post, on average, New Year’s resolutions last until February 1st. Just a short 32 days. In a poll of 2,000 Americans, 68% admitted to giving up their resolutions even sooner than that! What's worse is that one in seven Americans do not even believe that they will follow through with their resolution in the first place.

The next question is why even make a New Year’s Resolution in the first place if you know you will not keep it? If every year we quit by February, why do we think it's going to be different this go around? As humans, we feel like we need to prove ourselves whether that be to ourselves or others. So, by making a resolution, you need to prove to others that you can keep it, but the downside is as soon as someone you told about it fails, you think it's okay to quit too because “you made it farther than them”. Or we will try to get our friends to do the same resolution so they can keep each other accountable... for a few weeks anyways. The average person according to NY Post said that they would pay $15,748 just to have someone hold them accountable for their resolutions- a lot of money for a quitter if you ask me.

Why can’t we keep up our resolutions? It only takes four things in a single day to go wrong for us to deem the day as a “bad day”. It’s almost like we wait for something to go wrong so we can say, “well today isn’t the day, I'll start tomorrow” … kind of why we wait until the new year to make ourselves better, huh? The top two reasons we can’t stick to our resolutions are a lack of discipline and a busy schedule. We make plans to change but we forget to plan how we will execute our new goal.

This is not to say don't make a New Year’s resolution. Just remember, if you are going to make a resolution, don’t just think about the end goal but plan on how you are going to get there. Life is a marathon, not a sprint... same goes for your New Year’s resolution.

SpaceX Breaking Records

SpaceX has successfully launched its 32nd Falcon 9 mission this year! They have already broken the companies record for orbital launches conducted in a single year and they aren’t stopping there….seeing as its only August!

Every year SpaceX has been increasing their launch goal. In 2021 they successfully pulled off 31 launches which was the most launches ever done. It’s no secret why they are referred to as the most prolific American launch provider in all time.

Not everyone was excited about their ambitious goal of 52 missions for the course of 2022. The NASA safety advisory panel stated that “They need to be watchful during 2022 that they are not victims of their own success.”. As of today, they are sticking to their schedule and continue to have flawless missions.

Green Bubble = Left On Read

Every iPhone user can agree that if you are texting someone and the bubble is green the conversation is over, almost immediately. iPhone users don’t like texting Android users. Gifs don’t work right, photos come through fuzzy, you can’t react to their messages and that’s just the beginning of the list of issues.

Last week, Google launched a marketing campaign asking Apple to fix this. They created a website called “Get the Message” and it urges people to reach out to Apple through social media and ask them to fix “broken group chats”, according to Richard Nieva at Forbes. Google claims that there is no reason for errors to exist and that Apple is just refusing to adopt modern texting standards. Sounds just like a complaint an Android user would have, huh?

So far, Apple has not come out with a statement or plans to change green to blue.
