NEA residents make resolutions for 2025

Jonesboro, Arkansas – Residents of Northeast Arkansas are establishing new objectives for 2025, ranging from traveling and going out to becoming healthier.

“My goal for the new year is to travel and experience new things so that I can have stories to share with others,” said Paragould resident Mattie Taylor.

A new year is a time for some people to get out and try new activities because they wish to change the way they live.

Taylor remarked, “I simply got sick of living behind my phone screen and wondering why I couldn’t do what other people were doing.”

Other locals express a desire to visit new places.

According to Jonesboro resident Asher Barnes, “I sincerely wish I could travel to Oklahoma because of asteroid hunting.”

Living a healthy lifestyle is another objective for the residents, and it begins at the gym.

Kathy Gregory of Jonesboro stated, “I really want to get focused and do it on my time when I have free time because I just haven’t had time to do it in the last six months.”

Khris Moore of Rector stated, “I just want to be healthier and a better person as I get older.”

Residents are always looking to better themselves, and some even wish to maintain their happiness with one another.

“Just to get along,” said Jonesboro residents Jay Drope and Kaci Threlkeld.
