In This Article:

Every year without fail, the general population takes to social media to brag about their upcoming New Year's Resolutions. They make changes to their daily routines, way of life, and try to form better habits. The issue everyone runs into is that no one ever fully commits. The Internet trolls and Scrooges alike collectively ready themselves to combat the masses of New Year's Resolutions, but why? It's because they think being rude is cute, but it's not.

Trust me on this one. No one thinks that you're cute because you're discouraging other people. The matter of the fact is, you probably don't have the self-discipline to make your own resolution or to follow it.

New Year's Resolutions can lead to beautiful things.

There' so many possible ways people can change their lives with a New Year's Resolution, even if they don't stick with it forever. Resolutions could mean a new job, new hobby, better health, etc. When you make a resolution, it creates a ripple in the pool of your life, and that ripple could become a wave. If the ripple is a dud, and they don't gain anything from it, it's still not your job to chastise them. It's your job to support them or to keep quiet.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
