The holidays are filled with joy and merriment, as well as catching up with the fam and the homies.
But with all these ~festive feels~, there's a dark spot the ruins all the fun: New Year's Eve.
You're probably like, whaaa?? NYE is the BOMB! But, take a minute, and really think about it. Cuz I talked to chief, and NYE ain't it.
Let's break it down, shall we?
1. For starters, if you're under 21, what exactly is there to do?
Like, I'm being real...help a girl understand.
2. And don't even get me STARTED on NYE when you're over 21.
You gotta get the hair done, the nails done, everything did. And for what? So NO ONE can see all your efforts in the dark club.
NOT TO MENTION, it's so crowded and loud – you can't even talk with the friends that you initially went out with, and some girl next to you keeps screaming "Wooooooooo!"
3. Speaking of loud – those noise maker thingies?? Send 'em straight to hell.
4. And THEN comes the pressure of a New Year's Eve kiss!
[countdown till new years] "5...4...3...2...1..." *fireworks* *people kissing & hugging* me:
Everyone who's sans bae is scrambling around, trying to figure out who they're gonna kiss at midnight. Who came up with that rule, anyway? Why do I gotta kiss someone? Why can't I just enjoy the moment with my damn self??
5. Plus, don't forget the whole "starting off the new year on the right foot" mentality.
6. There's no such thing as poppin' New Year's Eve food.
7. AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT'S NOT EVEN A HOLIDAY! IT'S LITERALLY JUST THE PASSING OF TIME.
I guess that's my one true gripe with NYE: that people put all this ~pressure~ on something that's literally over in a minute.
Let's all stop pretending New Year's Eve is gonna be an amazing night. Has anyone ever had a good one? Single biggest letdown of the year, ever year.
At the end of the day, do you: get wasted, watch Dick Clark, or sleep through it. Just be sure it’s something you wanna do. Me? Cash me INSIDE and UNDER THE COVERS, howbow dah?
