Another year has come and gone leaving us with memories, regrets, and hopefully a whole lot of anticipation for the new year! Resolutions will be made (and broken) as everyone gazes wide-eyed and hopeful into what is to come. But let's stop right there. We are forgetting an integral part of the New Year's experience. New Years Eve! A night brimming with possibility, that seems to be waiting for you to take advantage of all the excitement it has to offer. Will you attend a fabulous gala? Watch the ball drop in Time Square? Perhaps land the perfect New Year's kiss? I hate to be a downer, but probably not. For most, this night will consist of one too many bottles of wine, a few friends, and a TV marathon. Sad, but true. How is it that a night built on the recklessness of the unknown can become so boring? To be fair, not all New Year's Eve's end up like this, but my bet is that 9 out of 10 are not that memorable (and not just due to the alcohol consumed).
Here are some common misconceptions about New Year's Eve.
