​20 Types Of New Year's Kisses You'll Definitely Witness When The Ball Drops At Midnight

In This Article:

There's something super romantic about the new year that just makes people want to kiss.

The midnight kiss is a New Year's Eve tradition that goes back over a century. When the ball drops, we grab the person closest to us and give them a big kiss, in hopes to start the new year with love and prosperity. There are some people who think kissing at midnight is even a way to transition a relationship into the new year, while others get way too intoxicated and (sometimes) regret their new year's kiss the next morning.

Either way, chances are high that you'll witness these new year's kisses — and maybe even have one yourself. If you're not one of those people who fall asleep before the ball drops, here are 20 types of kisses you should expect to see when we ring in the new decade:

1. The "I don't know who you are but I'm drunk and you're cute" kiss.

So you don't have a bae, but you have something else in mind, anything else. Grab the cutest boy and give him your first kiss of the new year!

2. The "honeymooners."

media.giphy.com

They've been together since the start of the cuffing season and are just inseparable. It was hard enough getting them to come to your New Year's Eve party, as the only thing on their minds is each other. Let them be cutesy and celebrate their first time ringing in the new year together.

3. The puppy smooch

So you don't have someone to kiss this year, and that's OK. You have a man's best friend to smooch!

4. The man who would rather kiss his beer than his wife

media.giphy.com

OUCH. We all know someone who loves beer more than they love kissing their wife.

5. The perfect kiss under the fireworks.

media.giphy.com

Or maybe there will be some romance while ringing in 2020... so grab your Prince Charming and get to your first kiss of the year.

6. The girl who just won't stop

media.giphy.com

She loves her man and he loves her kisses. So what if they're still kissing at 1:00 am?

7. The betrayal kiss.

media.giphy.com

Nothing hurts more than being betrayed, except maybe being betrayed for the New Year's kiss. So if your friend's man decides to cuddle up with someone else for New Year's, let the 2020 drama begin.

8. The cheek kiss.

media.giphy.com

If your special someone went out with the boys for New Year's Eve, that doesn't mean you can't give the kiss to someone special... like one of your close girlfriends. Who needs a man, anyway?

9. The uber disturbing tongue kiss.

media.giphy.com

The couple you probably wish would have just stayed home.

10. The partied too hard but woke up just in time for the kiss.

media.giphy.com

Sooo... someone fell asleep before midnight, maybe pregamed a little too hard, but they woke up for that midnight kiss — then went right back to sleep.

11. The super awkward New Year's kiss on television

media.giphy.com

They may be at work, but that doesn't mean they can't get into the New Year's spirit!

12. The couple who's still in love after all those years.

media.giphy.com

This is without a doubt my favorite New Year's kiss. The couple that is still crazy about each other.

13. The nose kiss.

media.giphy.com

Your friend's boyfriend may not be the most romantic, but he's cute and quirky which makes for an adorable New Year's kiss.

14. The "one person's just not into it" kiss

media.giphy.com

Girls, don't do this. It's just uncomfortable for everyone.

15. The two singletons who don't realize they're perfect for each other kiss.

media.giphy.com

New Year's brings out the hopeless romantic in everyone. The NYE kiss is the perfect way to show someone how you feel. So if you're single this New Year's, but you have a special someone in mind, go for it (with permission, of course).

16. The first kiss.

media.giphy.com

How sweet, New Year's is the perfect excuse for a first kiss.

17. The friends who realize they may be more than friends kiss.

media.giphy.com

Straight from a romance novel, I'm talking about the two friends you know would always be perfect for each other but claim they're only friends. As fate would have it, they just happened to be next to each other for midnight.

18. The sloppy drunk kiss.

media.giphy.com

It's almost midnight, and this couple doesn't plan on stopping at 12:00 am. It's a new year, and time to celebrate.

19. The friend who came for the free food.

media.giphy.com

I think she just wants to make out with that pizza...

20. The messy kiss.

media.giphy.com

So maybe your drunk friend puked all over you or you made a mess in the kitchen, that doesn't mean you can't get your New Year's kiss.

Even if you don't have a midnight kiss, 2020 can still be your year! Whether you have someone to kiss at midnight or you will be spending the evening with your dog, make sure you stay awake to witness the ringing in of the New Year.

May 2020 bring peace, love, happiness, and prosperity for all!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
