What Your New Year’s Eve Plans Say About You

There’s something strange about New Year’s Eve. It’s one of very few holidays that always happens to hit us fast with our deepest desires, and ignite our sparks for life, which is probably why end-of-the-year plans are so crucial.

Whether you’re looking for a special way to bring in the new year, or just want to make a few more memories before pushing out the old one, this year’s New Year’s Eve plans sure do have a way of telling us who we are, and who we’re going to want to be in 2017.

If you’re headed to a house party:

You are insanely happy with where you're at and grateful for the people in your life right now. It probably wasn’t a year of many firsts, but it also wasn’t a year of many lasts. And even though you don’t seem all that different, your mental, emotional and psychological "glowup" has been way too real.

Next year, you just want to keep the momentum going, and what better way to usher that attitude in than with a night surrounded by both old friends and new faces?

If you’re celebrating in the city:

This year has been a total “year of yes” for you. You’ve taken risks in a way you never have before, and aside from that one time you experimented with the faux freckle trend, you’ve pretty much reaped the reward.

In turning a new leaf, you just want to take advantage of your newfound courage this holiday and into 2017. You have no idea who you'll be by the end of the year, but that’s the fun of it.

If you’re doing it up as a duo:

This year has been HECTIC, full of ups and downs and all arounds. But whether you were enduring a tribulation or savoring a celebration , these past 12 months have taught you what the most important things in life are. This year, there’s nothing you’d rather do than spend time with that one special someone, who calms you down and keeps you on the straight and narrow.

Maybe it’s a brother, maybe it’s a mother, maybe it’s a friend, maybe it’s a beau. No matter what, familiarity is something you cherish and strengthening relationships you already have is your main goal.

If you’re staying home alone:

Hailee Steinfeld spoke to your soul this year. For the first time in a long time, you seriously love yourself and know you don’t need anyone else. This year came with some major battles, but it also made you rise up on your own two feet and get your life together: no prince charming, magic lamp or grade curve in sight.

You may not have gotten everything you wanted, but you sure got everything you needed, and now it’s time to celebrate those achievements with a party of one. Congratulations, you’ve finally got the hang of this thing called life.

Happy New Year’s, Terps! 2016 has been an interesting 365 days to say the least. But if we can get through “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” the flower crown filter and an election from hell all in one year, we can get through anything.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
