5 Things You Can Do In Chicago For New Year's

We all know the obvious things to do in Chicago for New Year's. You can go to Chi-Town Rising and freeze your butt off waiting for a star to rise. You can go to Navy Pier and spend way too much money on one overcrowded night. But what else is there to do in Chicago? Lucky for you, I've done the appropriate research to help you have a night to remember (or maybe not remember).

1. Spend the night in River North, one of the best club scenes in Chicago.

Multiple clubs are doing great packages this year!

2. New Year's Eve At Rock Bottom

This is perfect if you want a downtown experience but don't want to spend downtown cash.

3. Waveland Bowl's New Year's

This is perfect if you have kids! It includes an evening of bowling, food, and fun!

4. Party with Kiss FM at the Hilton

This one is a bit more expensive (somehow still not as expensive as Navy Pier, though) but it's supposed to be a pretty great time.

5. Party in Wrigleyville.

After all, the Cubs did just win the World Series. What better way to ring in the New Year's? You can find some incredibly cheap packages on the strip. For example, a dive bar, Merkle's, is doing a $40 package that includes an open bar, DJ, food, and a champagne toast. Can't beat that.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
