7 Reasons Why New Years Eve Is The Absolute Worst
Huffington Post

As I sit here and reminisce on another year gone by, I realize I am dreading the same thing this year as every other year, which is New Years Eve. I am realizing that I am not the only one who feels like a scrooge of New Years. So in honor of the end of 2016, and the start of 2017, here are 7 reasons why New Years Eve needs to go.

1. Plans

The most obvious reason why people hate New Years Eve is because finding plans is stressful. There is no other night of the year that there is that much pressure to go out and have a good time, and sometimes all that pressure just kills the holiday spirit.

2. Hosting

Nobody wants to host New Years Eve, so we all just sit around hoping someone else hosts before you do.

3. Traffic

NYE traffic makes getting into a major city almost impossible.

4. Too Much Hype

There is TOO MUCH HYPE for New Years Eve, especially when the majority of people go out and have a great time regularly. Why are we so excited to do the same things we do at a regular party on December 31st? All the hype and excitement pretty much is guaranteed to set us all up for disappointment making NYE a bust.

5. New Years Kiss

I know I am not the only person who is not a fan of this tradition. Who wants to feel obligated to kiss someone at midnight?Shoutout to my single ladies who don't need no man.

6. The "Ball"

We literally sit around a New Years Eve waiting for a ball to drop? How uneventful is that when you really think about it?

7. Saying Goodbye To Another Year is Sad

While I hate to be a complete downer, but New Years Eve is kind of depressing when you think about it. Another year gone by so fast and leaving more behind. That song that plays after the song drops is pretty sad too...

If only we could treat New Years Eve like it was any other day, there wouldn't be so many NYE haters like myself. My wish for my future New Years Eves are to have a good time without so many expectations, and for once have a simple plan. I am hopeful that maybe one day I can enjoy New Years, but until then, the negativity surrounding this disappointing holiday continues.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
