Dear JAMMers,
It’s a new year, which means the phrase, “New year, new me!” will be overtaking your social media feeds. But I think it’s time we are honest with ourselves. I’ll go first - there probably won’t be a new me. It sounds pretty exhausting…But I can surely name a bunch of other new things we deserve:
New Year, New Season of Stranger Things: I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of waiting. And at this point, those “kids” are now approximately 75 years old, married with grandchildren. We’re going to need a whole lot of CGI to keep those characters in high school…
New Year, New Ways to Clean the Snow Off My Car: Everytime I’m outside chipping away at the snow on my car, I ask myself, “There must be a better way.” Isn’t there some AI tool that can help at this point?
New Year, New Re-Release From Taylor Swift: There are two albums from Taylor Swift’s catalogue that are left to be re-released: Reputation and her self-titled debut album. We thought Reputation was going to be dropped on New Years Day (iykyk) but once again…we were wrong.
New Year, New Water Bottle: It’s time we are all honest about the fact that it’s time to replace our daily water bottles. Unless you have a dishwasher and are diligent about routinely washing your bottle, you know you don’t wash that thing as thoroughly as you should. Treat yourself to a new one, please.
New Year, New Job: Whether you’re someone like me seeking a new job, or someone stuck in one that they aren’t happy in, I’m manifesting great things for us in 2025.
New Year, New Mortgage Rates: It’s almost hard to even make jokes about this one. Does anyone else feel like you’ll be renting forever? The most expensive thing I own is my cordless vacuum.
New Year, New Planner: Every girl knows that a cute new planner can change the trajectory of your entire life. OK maybe that’s dramatic or simply a placebo effect, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. Go get that expensive planner and new pens! Then maybe you’ll get your life together.
See? You’re perfect. It’s everything else that needs to change. Cheers to a new year of possibilities.
Everything’s fine,
Nicole
