This person has a point. Only kiss women on New Year's Eve! The future is female anyway. You don't want to be on the wrong side of history, do you?
New Year, New Me
"New year, new me" is the rallying cry of self-improvers everywhere. But this is definitely the best way to use it. Yeah, "new year, new me." The new me is like, 75 percent Dorito.
"See you next year"
This is definitely the most common and worst joke you hear on New Year's Eve, so I don't blame him for his response. Anyone who says "See you next year" on Dec. 31 doesn't deserve to be your friend.
Giving up
Honestly, anyone who maintains a healthy eating and exercise regimen from January to March deserves some sort of award. That's three whole months! Usually, it takes like, a week for these things to crumble.
Jan. 1
No matter what year it is, when you wake up on Jan. 1, you gotta make sure rent is in the mail. Life goes on. It's going to be a new year, and a new chance not to put too much pressure on yourself to change everything.

FOMO (the fear of missing out) subsides when you reach a certain age. At some point, being home with your loved ones and your favorite things is the best way to celebrate a holiday!
Does it hurt?
According to Katie D, 2024 wasn't giving enough of what it was supposed to give. So, not moving forward sounds ideal. Unfortunately, we have to put our big people panties on and face 2025!
Blame it on the alcohol
I promise, I didn't make this meme. However, I'd be lying if I didn't have to apologize for my previous NYE behavior. Good to see I'm not alone!
