7 Annoying New Year Trends That We Wouldn't Mind Letting Go

One of the best parts about the New Year is that¡­ it comes every 365 days! Yes, it is definitely a reason for celebration and an excuse to start over in life but does every New Year¡¯s Eve have to be an elaborate display of joy? Even if it has to be, can we not do new things? For as long as we¡¯ve existed, there are some trends that we always follow without second thought even when they don¡¯t make much sense. Here are some of those trends that I wouldn¡¯t mind letting go of this New Year.

1. ¡®Is The Year Over Already?¡¯ Conversations

Come December, we just can¡¯t stop talking about how the year just whooshed by us. It feels like it happened so fast. But remember all the Mondays we struggled with, all the days which seemed never-ending or the months which were so hard to just get through? Yeah, doesn¡¯t feel like the year ended quick now, does it?

2. Office Parties

I have seen my colleagues all through the year, even on days when I absolutely didn¡¯t want to. Why would I want to now see them in the setup of a party with alcohol to lower my inhibitions? Never a great idea. Also all that indoor lighting around my desk is the reason I¡¯ve been tripping all day!

3. Chain Text Messages

Every year there is that one message that everybody is forwarding. Aunts, uncles, my HR¡­ just stop. If you have to really wish me personally then call me up and if you are not intimate enough to do that then just don¡¯t. That awkward ¡®happy new year¡¯ small talk is the worst.

4. Thankful Captions

For everybody putting out posts thanking their friends, family and loved ones on the occasion of New Year - Please stop? Let¡¯s not turn this into our unofficial telecast of the Oscars.

5. Resolution Lists

Let¡¯s put it out there - it¡¯s never going to happen. Resolutions are the worst thing to do before the New Year begins. For one, nobody cares about changes you are making in your life. And two, resolutions you make now will only be your failure next year. Save yourself the trouble and if you want to change something, just do it.

6. Throwback Instagram Posts

Why are you throwing back about things you¡¯ve already posted? Everybody saw what your year was like, now we have to see your year in highlights all over again? No thanks.

7. New Year Specials On TV

There will be NYE special reality shows, NYE themes episodes, NYE based movies, and even NYE based ads! Why can¡¯t there be simple good movies or shows so I can actually enjoy my night?

Time to make new trends now!
