A New Year’s resolution is a tradition people partake in to set goals for the new year to come.
According to The Conversation, the first record of people setting New Year pledges, later to become known as resolutions, are the Ancient Babylonians from 4000 years ago.
New Year’s resolutions can be different for everyone. Some people might not have a resolution. Either way, starting a new year with a goal is never a bad thing.
