13 Creative Ways To Score A New Year's Kiss

Huffington Post

If you're like me, chances are you won't be ringing in the New Year with someone special, but that doesn't mean you can't take part in one of the greatest New Year's traditions. There's a lot of pressure to smooch when the clock strikes midnight, but it can be a little overwhelming when you're going into the New Year solo. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Here are some unconventional ways to ensure you're not the only one starting 2017 without a kiss.

1. Bring Your Own Mistletoe

This might seem kind of silly considering Christmas has already passed, but I promise. A mistletoe is a mistletoe and is likely to attract crushes and strangers alike.

2. Order a Pizza

I know on the surface this doesn't make any sense, but someone has to deliver the pizza you order and that someone has a set of lips you could definitely kiss. Timing on this one could be tricky, so make sure the pizza gets there right before midnight!

3. Use Tinder

Surely if someone in the immediate area is on Tinder, they're down for a midnight kiss. It doesn't have to be serious, right?

4. Stage A Photoshoot

Bring a friend and a camera. Seek out the certain someone you want to be kissing at midnight, and tell them your friend needs a kissing photo for their photography project. Not only will you get the kiss, but you'll also have photographic evidence!

5. Play Dead

It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but they do call it the "kiss of life" for a reason.

6. Bribery

Whether it's candy, coffee, or cash, you could always pay someone for a midnight peck.

7. Spin The Bottle

This one could have serious potential at a New Year's party with a lot of singles. Everyone can pair up for the countdown!

8. Make A T-shirt

Nothing says "I need a midnight kiss" like bold letters on the front of a t-shirt. This one is sure to get a few laughs, but definitely score you a kiss.

9. Go To The Drive Thru

This one is a little more of a last resort. No party? No other singles? Take yourself to McDonald's and order some midnight McNuggets. Don't want to kiss the person at the first window? Pull right up to the next one!

10. Trip And Fall Right Into Someone's Lips

Accidental kisses are a thing, right?

11. Save Someone's Life

Whether it's catching someone before they slip or giving CPR, kisses make great thank you's for life saving deeds.

12. Truth Or Dare

It's another classic middle school party game, but having a good friend daring the right person to be your midnight kiss just might pay off.

13. Just Go For It

Whether that means asking a stranger to kiss you at midnight, or completely blindsiding your crush with a surprise smooch, confidence is key. Just kiss someone! It's all in good fun anyway.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
