New Year's Eve has always been my favorite holiday.

New Year's is definitely an underrated holiday and I have actually come into contact with a lot of people who usually do not do a thing for New Year's Eve but I am here to tell you why you should celebrate and pay attention to this awesome holiday.

Here are 15 reasons why New Year's Eve is the all-time greatest holiday

Anticipation Of The Ball Dropping

How could you not get excited when everyone starts to do the countdown for the ball to drop?!

All Of Your Favorite Artists Perform

One of my all-time favorite memories was watching one of Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve shows in 2008 and seeing the Jonas Brothers perform.

The Bubbly Drinks

Giphy

Whether it's champagne or sparking cider, we all love a glass of bubbly to bring in the new year.

A Fresh Start

Giphy

A brand new year means a brand new start.

New Year's Resolutions

Giphy

Speaking of a fresh start, a new year means coming up with resolutions in order to start the year off right with bettering yourself and/or your life.

The Glitter And Sparkles

Giphy

Whether it's sparkly party decorations or shiny outfits, how could you not love all the glitter and glam that comes with this holiday?!

The New Year's Kiss

Giphy

I love how romantic this concept is. Besides, what better way to bring in a new year than with a kiss?

There's ~Usually~ Great Food

Giphy

When you attend any New Year's Eve party, there's usually a plethora of food to choose from.

Friends & Family

Giphy

New Year's Eve is the ultimate holiday to spend time with your friends and family.

Especially since the best way to ring in the New Year is being surrounded by the people you love.

It's Celebrated All Around The World

Giphy

Every country rings in the New Year and we can even see their fireworks thanks to the U.S. broadcast since we are in different time zones.

Fireworks

Giphy

The only other holiday that we get this many fireworks is the 4th of July.

It's The Most Underrated Holiday

Giphy

You are truly unique if you're anxiously waiting to ring in the New Year unlike so many others.

This song is usually played when the clock strikes midnight.

It's one of the greatest New Year's Eve traditions and is just a great song with good meaning behind it in general.

You ~usually~ Get The Next Day Off

Giphy

Most schools and businesses have reduced or closed hours for New Year's day so it's basically a win-win.

There's a whole movie about it

Giphy

The movie came out in 2011 and has all your favorite celebrities including Ashton Kutcher, Lea Michele, Bon Jovi, Halle Berry, and Zac Efron.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
