Dear Journal,
I've decided that this year I will follow through with the resolutions I make.
Here they are:
1. GET JEN BACK
a. apologize for anything I may have done to cause her to reject me/hate me/or anything resulting in me getting dumped
2. WHEN I GET JEN BACK, MAKE SURE TO PAY ENOUGH ATTENTION TO JOEY
a. last time, I learned that when Joey does not get enough attention, she
gets mad
b. she's my best friend and I should be spending time with her anyway
3. HELP MY PARENTS REPAIR THEIR RELATIONSHIP
a. I know this sounds impossible, but they really do love each other and
should be together
b. I don't know how I'd cope if they did break up/get divorced
I think that's about it. And of course, maintain good grades, help around the
house, and everything else that I already do. And I am aware that none of my
resolutions involve my other best friend, Pacey, but our friendship doesn't
need any resolutions.
Sincerely,Dawson Leery

Dear Journal,
I used to think this journal idea was stupid, but now that I think about it,
it isn't stupid at all. It's actually quite logical. A friend without an
opinion. A friend that does not ask questions or judge. And most
importantly, a friend that does not 'spill' any secrets. So I've decided to
put my New Year's resolutions in here. Here they are:
1. GET DAWSON BACK
a. I'm still kicking myself for dumping him in the first place; he's cute,
he's romantic, caring, and just plain nice
2. BE FRIENDS WITH JOEY
a. she's actually not so bad, and can be a lot of fun once she loosens up(not
that I'm going to take her clubbing or anything)
b. girl friends are a good thing to have, and since neither of us ever had
any we can decide for ourselves what kind of friends we want to be to eachother
3. MAKE NICE WITH GRAMS
a. no, I won't be going to church, but I will try a little harder to respect
her(religion and all)
Well, that about wraps it up. I think those are relatively easy resolutions. Except maybe befriending Joey. It's worth a try anyway.
Sincerely,Jen Lindley

Dear Journal,
I hate the holidays. And these stupid resolutions are THE worst. No one I
know ever follows through with them. And I'm no different. Bessie decided
last year she was going to try and be nicer to me. Never happened. Dawson
said he was going to start working out. Never happened. Pacey said he was
going to lose his virginity. Okay, I have to hand it to the little turd, he
actually did that. I have never made any resolutions, but this year, I think
I'm going to give it a try.
1. BE MORE HELPFUL TO BESSIE
a. I have to give her a hand sometimes; juggling two kids(me and Alexander),
a restaurant, and keeping our house sanitary is a lot of work
2. FIND MYSELF A BOYFRIEND
a. Dawson Leery is in the past, and this is not one of those resolutions,
like, I'm going to beautify myself; I'd just really like to find a nice
guy(fat chance here in Capeside)
3. BE NICER TO PACEY
a. the guy has helped me out of many a jam, and once I stopped hating him,
there was a lot to like; maybe this could go under resolution number 2...
Well, I sure hope this New Year's doesn't suck as bad as last year. Dawson's
throwing a party. His parents are taking separate vacations. Smart move.
So it will just be me, Dawson, Jen, and Pacey.
Sincerely,Joey Potter

Dear Journal,
I hate the holidays. Christmas sucked. The only high point was when I snuck away to the ruins after dinner. Yeah, I know it sounds pathetic, spending Christmas alone, but I'm used to it by now. I was looking forward to a some more alone time on New Year's Eve, but Dawson is having a party so.... I've never really gone for the whole New Year's thing. Hell, I'll give it a try.
1. TRY TO BRING UP MY GRADES
a. if I want to get out of this stinking town, I have to pass the tenth grade
b. I'm not going to join a study group or anything, just try to get at least
a B or a C in my classes; an A is asking for a little much
2. SPEND MORE TIME WITH OTHER PEOPLE, RATHER THAN BY MYSELF
a. my social skills aren't going to get any better if I spend every free
minute trying to become invisible(which isn't working)
3. MAKE JOEY POTTER MY GIRLFRIEND
a. yes, I know this sounds like Mission: Impossible, but I really like her and I think she's over Dawson......
Maybe these resolutions will actually get done. But if they don't, who cares?
Sincerely,Pacey Witter
