Why do people wait till New Year to make new starts?
Beano Started conversation Jan 29, 2003
It may have the word 'new' in it but why do people seem so insistent on making a change at New Year when they could have done it months ago? It's just a date, or an excuse to get drunk at someone else's house. Also it's the worst time of year to do something in. If you're at school you're going to have to start revising for Prelims, if you're at University you've got exams to do, and people who have jobs have to go back to them and deal with the build up of work over the Christmas period. Where do you get the time to do anything new?
The best time to do something new is the summer, more free time no matter what your occupation, the possibility if not the actual occurence of sunshine, etc. are all far more conducive to making a good new start. If you genuine really absolutely need to make a new start, then why wait till New Year? Or even why does it only occur to people to start anew at New Year? It's the name isn't it? Tomorrow is new, it just isn't called that. People read newspapers, yet aren't reminded.
How very annoying.
