A variety of promises come with the new year By Maria Clark Assistant Recess Editor Every year, at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, people all over the world make resolutions. It seems that almost everyone has made one in their life. A lot of people promise to do something to improve their physical fitness. Tommy Fell, a junior mechanical engineering major, said he was going to work out more. Others resolve to give up vices.
Some people seek to improve their grades or life in general.
Melanie Ballard, a freshman special education major, said she vowed to study more. It seemed a popular promise this year is to do better towards the world and the people who live in it. Benjamin Kuho, a freshman EMAC major, said he hopes for the best for himself and others. We look at signs all the time, we're bombarded by strange symbols, but I've become pretty familiar with them. Carothers, who helped students put up sign parodies all over campus towards the end of last semester, has designed several sign parodies and constructed them with the help of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation.
