Friend's houses, clubs, downtown events – these are all tried and true ways to ring in the New Year. It's exciting to be part of an event that spares no expense in celebration of yet another rotation around Mr. Sun. Plus, if you're lucky, that New Year's kiss may turn into an all-night…kiss. But there are other ways to enjoy the extravagance and magic. For those in relationships, engaged, married, or just having a good time, try a New Year's at Walt Disney World.

Disney is world-renowned for their attention to detail and dedication to creating an unforgettable experience for its guests. Their New Year's offerings cater to a variety of people, from families and the tame to the footloose and fancy-free. While poor Walt's ideas about a park without alcohol have all but drained away (Magic Kingdom is a holdout, kinda. They serve alcohol, but it's limited to select restaurants inside the park), its warming presence does invite those looking to have a looser time at the House of Mouse.

Basically, if you want to eat New Year's away, they offer that option. If you want to enjoy extraordinary fireworks and projection shows, you've got it. And if you want to escape for a New Year's full of Mickey and that person who rocks your socks off, WDW will accommodate you.

Dance parties take place in Frontierland and Tomorrowland from 7-Midnight on both the 30^th and 31^st. Then hustle your way to a romantic spot to share a sweater and watch beautiful fireworks and projections on the castle 10 minutes before midnight.

Looking for that liquid courage and 11 New Year's celebrations? Then try out Epcot. It's known for testing anyone's drinking mettle as they attempt each countries' beverages. During New Years, every country will celebrate a clock countdown per their actual regions location – resulting in many toasts, New Years kisses, and most likely an Uber back to the hotel.

Party hats, a light menu, 2 drink vouchers (with opportunity to buy way more), fantastic views, exclusivity, and 21+.

New Year’s Eve at Flying Fish

This is for those who are a little more sophisticated; a little more wealthy; a little more about a black dress, smart suit, and enjoying the pleasures of taste before the flesh. Step into Flying Fish on the Boardwalk and experience a truly intimate location with nostalgic seaside meals. Each dish is expertly prepared as master chefs work right in front of you to keep your mouth watering. Handpicked wines, cocktails, and seasonal desserts finish off the night. But remember, dress co

Try something different and go to Disney for New Year's. Delight in being a kid again while still being able to drink, enjoy nice foods, and go home for some passionate….kissing.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.
