This year, I have one resolution: Do good.

The New Year has never signified more to me than the
start of my favorite TV shows, and yes I am talking about the quality reality television shows The Millionaire
Matchmaker and The Bachelor on Bravo and ABC, respectively. I’ve never seen a point in making resolutions;
after all, what is scrawling down a list of meaningless words like work hard in
school, exercise more, break out of my shell, and eat healthy foods really going
to do for me in the long run?
This year, I celebrated my New Year in my room upstairs watching
episodes of Boy Meets World on Youtube.
Boy Meets World is a show about the coming of age that follows two
characters named Cory and Topanga through elementary school, college, and
ultimately marriage. Their teacher, Mr.
Feeny also follows them throughout their journeys towards self-discovery. In the final episode, he gives his final
words of wisdom to the group: “Do good.”
When Topanga asks if he means do well, he says “No. I mean do good.”

An epiphany came over me when I was watching TV the next
day filled with commercials persuading me to join Weight Watchers and Jenny
Craig, commercials asking me to “get my life back on track” and get a degree
from ITT Tech. All we really need out of
life to do good, to be good, and to spread goodness. Doing good is the most that we can ask of
ourselves to find perfect equilibrium.
I invite you all to watch the last scene of Boy Meets
World at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgbvtZAYv1g.
