7 Reasons Why New Years Eve Is The Absolute Worst
Huffington Post

As I sit here and reminisce on another year gone by, I realize I am dreading the same thing this year as every other year, which is New Years Eve. I am realizing that I am not the only one who feels like a scrooge of New Years. So in honor of the end of 2016, and the start of 2017, here are 7 reasons why New Years Eve needs to go.

1. Plans

The most obvious reason why people hate New Years Eve is because finding plans is stressful. There is no other night of the year that there is that much pressure to go out and have a good time, and sometimes all that pressure just kills the holiday spirit.

2. Hosting

Nobody wants to host New Years Eve, so we all just sit around hoping someone else hosts before you do.

3. Traffic

NYE traffic makes getting into a major city almost impossible.

4. Too Much Hype

There is TOO MUCH HYPE for New Years Eve, especially when the majority of people go out and have a great time regularly. Why are we so excited to do the same things we do at a regular party on December 31st? All the hype and excitement pretty much is guaranteed to set us all up for disappointment making NYE a bust.

5. New Years Kiss

I know I am not the only person who is not a fan of this tradition. Who wants to feel obligated to kiss someone at midnight?Shoutout to my single ladies who don't need no man.

6. The "Ball"

We literally sit around a New Years Eve waiting for a ball to drop? How uneventful is that when you really think about it?

7. Saying Goodbye To Another Year is Sad

While I hate to be a complete downer, but New Years Eve is kind of depressing when you think about it. Another year gone by so fast and leaving more behind. That song that plays after the song drops is pretty sad too...

If only we could treat New Years Eve like it was any other day, there wouldn't be so many NYE haters like myself. My wish for my future New Years Eves are to have a good time without so many expectations, and for once have a simple plan. I am hopeful that maybe one day I can enjoy New Years, but until then, the negativity surrounding this disappointing holiday continues.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
