I am aware that this is an unpopular opinion and I don't care. Every year people make such a big deal over New Years and have to plan everything out to make sure it’s the "BEST NEW YEARS EVER." Stop. We all know the same disappointing routine that happened last year is bound to repeat itself. Here's a list of 10 reasons why my unpopular opinion might not be so far off.

1. All that hype for nothing. The second the clock turns..that's it.

2. Spending money on clothes and makeup that would look weird wearing any other time.

3. Making resolutions that we all know we're going to break by January 10th (props if you even make it that far).

4. Waiting in long lines for bars that aren't there any other time.

5. Pressure to kiss someone. Why doesn't your dog count...?

6. Pressure of having that "unforgettable" New Years...that really just ends up being like any other night.

7. Not knowing when to leave. Is it okay to leave at 12:01...? Because I'm ready to leave at 12:01.

8. We just finished spending a ridiculous amount of money at Christmas and now I have to spend more a week later?

9. Extra loud noises. We don't need that. Drunk people are already loud enough.

10. The annoyingly predictable "New Year, New Me" social media posts. No, it's not a new you. You're just writing 2017 instead of 2016.

So there you have it! Now that I've listed all my reasons for not liking New Years excuse me while I go make plans to go out anyway.

Happy New Year!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
