As 2024 begins, seniors rush to finish college applications and crawl to the second semester; juniors complain about burnout, except the lucky ones in City Semester; and the sophomores, well, the sophomores are just trying to survive chemistry. Finally, the freshmen? They don\u2019t even have midterms \u2013 they\u2019re doing just fine. Fieldston is in a dark era, where the sun sets before the late bus leaves campus and the coffee line grows by the day. But it\u2019s 2024 and \u2018tis the season to reflect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what are Fieldston students\u2019 New Year’s resolutions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of Fieldston students have school-related goals. Natalie Delson (Form VI) plans to reduce her procrastination by \u201cturning her homework in on time and meeting deadlines.\u201d Andrew Choi (Form V) and Jackson Wang (Form V) both agreed that this year\u2019s goal is to \u201cdo better in school.\u201d Natalia Posen (Form V) kept it simple: \u201cIt\u2019s time to lock in.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

Other students plan to emphasize health and self-care in the new year. \u201cI need to drink more water daily,\u201d said Zoe Williams (Form VI). Fun fact: high school students should drink around 48 ounces of water per day. That\u2019s the same amount in four cans of Celsius. Not that any Fieldston student is drinking Celsius\u2026Dahlia Zemmel (Form V) said her main goal is plainly \u201cto relax more.\u201d When asked how she would go about obtaining her ideal serenity, she said, \u201cI haven\u2019t gotten that far yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Marshall (Form VI) is Fieldston\u2019s main weightlifting junkie, constantly prepping for baseball season. His 2024 goal is to \u201cbench 200 pounds.\u201d Overhearing his comment, Nathan Rozoff (Form V) deviously added, \u201cMine is to bench 225.\u201d A friendly rivalry in the weight room can\u2019t hurt anyone, at least until athletic trainer Jeffrey Lee, a weightlifting champ, becomes the competition. Joey Ravikoff (Form VI), Marshall\u2019s teammate on the baseball team, proclaimed that 2024 would be the year of a \u201cFieldston Baseball NYSAIS Championship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shayna Sacks (Form V) had the best New Year\u2019s resolution of all: \u201cRead \u2018The Fieldston News\u2019 more.\u201d It’s a completely unbiased opinion, of course. In the same spirit, Daniel Hur (Form V) said, \u201cIn 2024, I\u2019ll finish the \u2018Fieldston News\u2019 article I signed up for months ago.\u201d Daniel, if you\u2019re reading this, write your article, please.<\/p>\n\n\n

Roxy Shapiro (Form VI) voiced the most popular resolution of the senior class: \u201cI just want to get into college.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

Who knows what 2024 will bring? Besides the comeback of beloved \u201cFieldston News\u201d faculty advisor Mr. Montera (Hi Montera, we love you) and the departure of the class of \u201824 (we will miss you), the rest remains unknown. Time flies, anything can happen in a year and we should all follow in Form V student Ellie Usdin\u2019s footsteps: \u201cLive more in the moment, not always the past or the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
