: “This year, I’m really excited about being in school, so I’ve made a goal to really do well and get good grades. I also want to focus on my new band. We don’t have a name yet … but we will soon.” JOSH FULLERTON New Albany

: “I’ve made a personal goal to not get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of every day. For 2018. I want to find pleasure in the small things, spend time with people and just enjoy life.” EMILY BETHANY New Albany

: “Like many people do in the new year, I’ve resolved to really focus on my health and get back into shape. However, the biggest challenge I’ve set for myself is to learn how to relax. I’m really a Type A personality and take on a lot of projects at one time, but I never really get to enjoy the process. I want to change that. I want to still have projects but actually take the time to enjoy the tasks. I also definitely want to make sure that I have more ‘Vic time’ thrown in there.” VIC OBERHAUSEN New Albany

: “I have several resolutions for this year. The top of my list is to push out the toxic influences out and smile more. I know I need to say no more often. I know I can do anything I put my mind to, but that does not mean I should. I hope to take the lessons I learned in 2017 and apply them to 2018.” JULIE JACKSON New Albany
