New Year`s Resolutions

It's only January 2 as I write, and I've already broken my New Year's resolutions.January has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming months. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes.Below are the areas in which Campus Highlights think everybody should improve on

FAMILY RESOLUTIONS:

Agree to disagree. Learn to cooperate and compromise. Put yourself in your loved one's shoes, and truly try to understand how they are feeling and why they are reacting the way they are. Think before you speak or react. If all else fails, make believe the person you are hard on is a stranger, we often treat strangers kinder then our loved ones. Try not to hold a grudge, end an argument with the agreement you are on different sides of this particular topic, and don't allow it to upset the other aspects of your relationship.

COMMUNITY RESOLUTIONS:

Volunteer somewhere you feel you could make a difference. It could be a hospital, nursing home, church daycare, literacy programs, meals on wheels or you local SPCA. You'll know what feels right. There are volunteer opportunities everywhere. Check the Internet, local newspapers, and charities in your area.
Get involved in your neighborhood, join or start a block club. Many areas have community centers, where there are senior activities, and crafters clubs. Your local library may even have a readers circle you may want to join.

PERSONAL RESOLUTIONS:

Plan to exercise for 10 minutes everyday. Stretching is great for circulation, walking around the block is great for your heart. Not anything strenuous, just something to get the joints moving. Dancing and yoga are also good for your over all well being.
Read a daily devotion, mantra, or quote to enlighten your spirit. Keep a daily journal of best thing that happened today. Meditate, pray or focus on something beautiful in nature. Any of these suggestions will do wonders to nurture your inner spirit and will also help relieve stress.

FINANCIAL RESOLUTIONS:

Budget, spend less, and have more. Plan meals, shopping trips and make a list. Stick to the list and do not buy anything except what is on the list. Plan monthly allowance for birthday and special occasion gifts. Start putting money from coupon savings, bottle returns, or loose change in a jar for next year's holidays. Have a yard sale and put those proceeds away as well. Cut down on your heating bills by wearing layers of clothing. Cut down on your electric by using candlelight. Walk to the corner store instead of driving. Shop at thrift stores, rummage sales and garage sales for clothing, garden ornaments, and household decor. Sometimes someone else's trash (Throw Away) can become a favorite treasure for a few dollars instead of twenty or more.

Put your hands together, Lindelani Mahlalela

Be afraid be very afraid. In another bid to upgrade campushighlights,the team has acquired the services of the most talented cartoonist of our time "LINDENI MAHLALELA". Yes if you are in some sort of leadership position or according to us in the public eye, you will be featured.Not worry though he wont make shower projections on your head or make you reflect a beetroot. In essence he will reflect just what is on campus at the particular time. On the left is a snippet of one of his works. So I say again put your hands together.Ayeeee ye!

ARE YOU CLOGGING UP SPACE???????

Words of wisdom, guys and girls let us be realistic. it is with sadness that my advise comes in the mist of exams,but 'studying is the most important thing here' think about it, there were thousands if not millions of applicants and wanna be applicants who couldn't make the exemption or cut the grade. at the same time there were another couple of thousands who made the grade but couldn't get in to varsity because the space was given to you. or they lacked funds, I am interested in those that couldn't get space. don't you think you are being unfair by clogging up space here, as the years go you register this course and de-register that, one could say that you lack direction and shouldn't even have been here in the first place, if you are that type of person think about that guy who couldn't get to varsity whom given half a the chance would have been out of here a long time ago. look at your student number (as you read what year in fact not by year are you in) do you reflect that person.if you reflect a kind of person afore described, do yourself and your country a favour that is worth a huge weight.Study and pass or just open the gap for a person deserving of a chance.
