COACHELLA VALLEY--Here in the valley, New Year's resolutions were at the forefront of peoples minds as they enjoyed a day off from work.
Many people say they want to lose weight, or quit smoking in the new year but we met some people who had different resolutions, most aimed at self-improvement in one way or another.
Ula Straw is visting Palm Springs from Montana. She doesn't plan on doing anything differently in 2013.
"I didn't make any. I hadn't given it any thought to be honest with you. Like I said, i'm so perfect I don't need to make new ones." Straw said.
"The New Year's resolution is to definitely be a better friend, a better mom. I'm not going to do the cliché, i'm going to lose 5 pounds, because i'll probably gain 5 pounds, but love you all." Mary Ogunlade said.
"My New Year's resolution is pretty simple. I'm going to make sure that this foot is completely better in 2 weeks and then I will have two perfectly good feet." Susan Hunt said.
According to research from the University of Scranton, about 40 percent of Americans make New Year's resolutions but only about 8 percent actually achieve those goals.
