4 Ways to Celeberate the New Year
Minimilisti

Now that Christmas is over everyone is getting ready to ring in the new year with kisses, resolutions, and parties. Some people, like me, dread the idea of people partying like crazy on New Years Eve. I could never understand why people feel the need to drunk on New Years. I see no problem with drinking a little bit but getting so drunk you don't remember what happened? I don't see the point in that (and that goes for all times of year). But here are some alternatives for people like me who don't see the appeal of drinking but still want to ring in the new year with friends.

1. Sparkling Cider

Let's start off with some drinks, pick up some flavored sparkling cider from the grocery store and some plastic champagne glasses. All the fun of drinking with better flavor.

2. Crackers

Buy some leftover Christmas Crackers and pull them with your friends!

3. Games

Get some board games, card games, or digital games to play with your friends. Word games or puzzle games are super fun as well as well as challenging. If you have a group of 8 or less you should download the jackbox party packs from steam!

4. Movies

Pick some favorite movies to watch before the you watch the countdown!

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.
