~Signing Off for the Summer~

As another school year comes to a close, another year of memories will last with us forever. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2010 and thank-you to all the visitors to This Just In, an online publication of the Beaver Tale. This was our first year online, and it was a great opportunity to experiment with different layouts, post different kinds of media, and overall get a feel for running a website. Stay tuned for next year for more postings more regularly of even more content from your 2010-2011 journalism staff. In the meantime, thank-you for visiting This Just In and have a wonderful summer break!

Sincerely, 2010-2011 Website Editor Kimberly Kay Sloan and 2010-2011 Assistant Website Editor Wes Moeller

Ask Betty

Q:How Do I Keep A New Year’s Resolution?

A: It’s a new beginning and a fresh start for most. Usually at the beginning of a New Year people make a promise to themselves called a resolution. Sometimes it’s an easy promise and sometimes people give themselves a challenge. For example, an easy resolution could be to be happy or join a sport. Theses things could be difficult but they are definitely one of the easier tasks. And adults may choose to quit smoking; not an easy task but one that will impact their future. So how, you ask, do you keep a New Years Resolution? Here are five steps to take to make for sure that you reach your goal.

1. Aim low. If you want to have a guaranteed goal that you will reach make sure it’s attainable. That doesn’t mean your goal doesn’t have to be challenging but don’t bite off more that you can chew!

2. Don’t overload yourself. Choose the most important task that you want to do and do that first. If you complete it before the end of the year start a new one. If not that’s okay. You have plenty of years left!

3. Tell everyone the plan. You can tell yourself over and over again that you want to do something, but unless you have some motivation other than your own thoughts a goal can be hard to achieve. Plus if you tell more people you’ll be more obligated to accomplish your goal.

4. Treat yourself. Make checkpoints for your goal and once you reach them treat yourself. Give yourself a little reward to motivate you to move to the next step.

5. Wait until spring. It gives you time to decide if that’s what you’ll truly do plus it’ll give you time to make a plan. Also changing your life will coincide with the change of the season!

Good luck with resolution and remember these five things when trying to accomplish your goal!
