With 2015 coming to an end, it's time to start thinking about how to celebrate how amazing this year was. The great thing about New Year's Eve is that there are so many fun events going on that you will never be bored.

Here are just a few ideas for those who may not know how they would like to spend their New Year's Eve.

1. Watch the ball drop live in Times Square.

This has to be on every person's bucket list. The most watched event of the year is, of course, the ball dropping in New York City. But instead of watching it at home on your TV, this year go to Times Square yourself. Every year there are tons of celebrities and great performances that end 2015 on the best note. Sure, it's going to be freezing, but it is worth it if you want to have the best New Year's celebration.

2. Dallas or Miami for the college football playoffs.

For those who are lucky to have their school in the playoffs, I see no reason as to why you or your friends have not booked your flights for the game! Number two Alabama and number three Michigan State will be facing off in Dallas, and number one Clemson and number four Oklahoma will be in Miami. Both of these games will be insane, and being there will be even better than watching them at home. Book your flights now and get some tickets so you and your friends can spend New Year's Day showing some school pride and celebrating a great year of football.


3. Bourbon Street

You either love it or hate it, but it’s a dang good time. The craziness of Bourbon Street will be a great way for you and your friends to celebrate the end of 2015. Collect all the beaded necklaces you can get and drink as many hand grenades your liver can consume because nothing is like a night out on Bourbon.

4. Throw a New Year's Eve party with your hometown friends.

Coming home for winter break is a great time to catch up with old friends from high school. This is a perfect time to throw a party with your old friends and look forward to what 2016 have in store for each other.

5. Have a chill night at home with the people closest to you.

Sometimes the best way to end a crazy year is to hang out at home with friends and family and go over all that has happened this past year. Play some fun games, drink some fun and festive drinks and you will have a great relaxed night with the people closest to you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
