How many of you typically make a New Year's resolution? Stick with it?

I am usually pretty good about sticking to them. This year I would like to lose 5 lbs, stop drinking for a month and stop social smoking. I should be able to do all of those.

My last name is Gonzalez and I cannot say a sentence in Mexican.

im white as frick actually. my girlfriend is colombian and it would make things easier communicating with her family. her and her parents speak english well (she sounds american pretty much) but other members struggle some.

My roommate and his girlfriend are both Columbian, but they speak Spanish differently than my Cuban family does. Not sure if it is just dialect, but they can barely understand a Cuban speaking.

That's a bit weird. I know Cubans and Colombians and Venezuelans who all get together and understand each other pretty well. It's basically the first language in miami

I never have before,but starting New Years Day I've quit drinking Sodas(Coke,Mountain Dew,etc.),no more ice cream.

And I'm basically just going to try to be a better person going forward.

I don't think I've been a bad person,but there's always ways to be better.

I know what you're saying but you can also look at it the other way. People who would never make the decision to better themselves get a spark or at least thought of doing something this time of year.

If you dont have any practice forming good habits you arent going to have any success maintaining one for a year with the main motivation being the date lol.
