11 Things To Do On New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is just days away and is one of the most underrated holidays. New Year's Eve celebrates both the year that took place coming to an end and welcomes the beginning of a new one. There are several things to do for New Year's Eve that your aren't going to want to miss out on this year!


1. Wear a sparkly outfit.

New Year's eve is the only time of the year it is perfectly acceptable for you to leave the house looking like a fashionable disco ball. Everyone loves wearing something that glitters and shines and if you say you don't then we know you are lying! Find something fun to show your personality this night of year.

2. Have dinner and drinks with friends.

Who doesn't love going out to eat and grab drinks? This activity is the perfect way to start your night. You'll already be looking fantastic in your NYE outfit so you might as well get a few extra hours in it to show off.


3. Watch the ball drop.

Nothing else represents the closing of one year and the beginning of another more than this event. If you aren't in NYC and be sure to watch it on television surrounded by friends and family. Don't forget to find someone to give a quick kiss when the clock stikes midnight!

4. Go out.

Whether you go to a bar or a friends party get out and go somewhere. NYE is a great time to mingle. Starting the year out with some of your best friends is a perfect way to welcome the new year.


5. Make a resolution.

It doesn't have to be anything crazy. If you want to make a goal to lose weight feel free, that's awesome but also don't forget you can do light hearted things too, like the year my resolution was to save an entire year of Cosmo magazine so it made the guy on the side.


6. Do something nice for someone.

What better way than to start the year off than giving a gift to others. Not to mention maybe setting a little good karma up for the year that is about to start. Buy someone a drink or meal or just give them a nice complement. Making someone feel good will make you feel good too.


7. Let go.

Some things we need to forget. I'm looking at you girl who is still crying over her boyfriend from three years ago. No one should go into the new year holding onto old baggage. Forget the guy or girl who screwed you over, forget that the delivery guy didn't bring your extra ranch sauce for your pizza. Go into the new year with a clean slate. Turn a new leaf.

8. Learn lessons.

Look back over your last year and evaluate and learn from it. Did you have the best year of your life? Maybe you didn't have too hot of a year. Regardless think about what you can learn from the year and see what you want to bring with you into the new year


9. Be honest.

Be real with yourself and others. Don't lie to yourself or friends about things. You can't have a promising new year is you aren't going to be honest with yourself and with others.

10. Watch fireworks.

No explanation is needed because simply stated, fireworks are the best.

11. Love yourself.

Most importantly love yourself! Take care of yourself. Love yourself and treat yourself.


2016 is sure to be an exciting year. Go out with a bang for 2015 and welcome 2016 with open arms, because what other choice do you have anyway?

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
