It's that time of the year again—New Year's Eve—the holiday filled with glitter and promises of change. Everyone is happy, mostly because they are sipping on that "bubbly." There are some unspoken basic rules for this holiday that every basic girl knows. Here are the essentials to making sure you are, just like every other girl, ringing in the new year.
First, the excessively sparkly dress
Gold, black, or a dark shade. Usually from Express or something you found on sale at Charlotte Russe. More than likely someone at your party will have the same dress as you.
Second, the smokey eye
Probably done by a professional at a mall. You must make your appointment a year in advance due to the number of girls who have yet to buy their own Naked Palatte. Fake lashes optional but recommended.
Third, a "Happy New Year" crown, 2016 glasses, and party horns
Make sure to blow the party horn in everyone's face. You should also have 2016 plates, napkins, and cups if you don't want to disappoint your guests.
Next, at least 50 bottles of cheap champagne...
Poppin' bottles.
but also vodka....
You can't disregard your favorite drink just because of the holiday. Make sure you are well supplied, because let's be honest, champagne doesn't get you anywhere.
You must make a New Year's resolution
Any of the following: Start going to the gym, eat healthy, stop drinking so much, stop talking to your ex, quit social smoking, etc. Whatever you promise, whatever, you know you won't keep it.
The rules for NYE social media:
You should tweet " New Year, New Me," make a FlipGram for Instagram with every single photo you have taken this year with a sentimental song, and be sure to Snapchat your whole night. Everyone really will want to see it, trust me. Don't forget to text all your contacts (even people you haven't talked to in years) "Happy New Year!" with an abundance of celebratory emojis.
Complain about how you don't have someone to kiss at midnight
Everyone will feel sorry for you when your whining. May I suggest you choose someone who you won't regret in the morning? Let's be real, it will most likely be your ex your macking on .
