Personal Narrative: Personal Journal Entry

We’re halfway through the month of January. And it’s only getting worse. Now, after consuming lots of food to please relatives throughout the Christmas season, we’ve gained all the weight needed to make a new year’s resolution. And of course, everyone has taken to social media to express their hope for the new year. Maybe you’ll find love in 2018. Maybe you’ll finally lose those last staggering few pounds. But, if you’re like me, you’re pretty sure that nothing will change, and you’re expecting 2018 to have similar results as 2017.
