It's nearly the end of the year, which means another New Year's Eve celebration. When you're a kid, that typically meant trying to stay up until midnight and ultimately failing. As you get older, you may start to hang out with your friends, or maybe even your family. But sometimes, you just don't know how to celebrate the New Year. Here are five great ways to ring in the New Year, and on a budget.

1. Netflix and Chill.

No, not that kind of Netflix and Chill. I mean, just grab some popcorn, some friends, and turn on Netflix. Binge watch a show (might I suggest "Marvel's Jessica Jones" or "Arrested Development," both of which I've been bingeing?) or watch a movie.

2. Have a potluck dinner.

Get a bunch of your friends to meet at one person's house, and have each person bring a dish of some sort. You can have a theme or just bring whatever you want. This way, everyone can eat, and you most likely aren't spending $130 on dinner for six people.

3. Reminisce about old times.

Sit in a circle, at a table, or wherever, and just talk about old times. It can be as recent as this year's Friendsgiving, or two years ago when Johnny tried to ask out Kim and totally failed. As long as it gets you laughing and smiling, it's good.

4. Throw a game night.

With all of your friends in one place, make the decision to have a game night. Whether that means playing Monopoly, Cards Against Humanity, or Mario Kart, it's up to you; just try not to rage quit on each other.

5. Go out on the town!

Lots of cities have great New Year's Eve celebrations -- everyone knows about New York, but places like Boston, Massachusetts have "First Night," which is so fun, and depending on what you choose to do, free!

So now you have five great options for New Year's Eve to kick out 2015 and bring in 2016; what are you going to do?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
