Let People Make New Year's Resolutions, It Isn't So Bad

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. These resolutions can be the beginning of something great for certain people, and they might just need some encouragement. So bring on your resolutions, I'll listen to them.

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.

Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving.
