New Year's Eve Sucks

Scientifically Proven by Pros and Cons

New Year's Eve Sucks
Curi Hyvrard/Corbs

New Year's Eve sucks. It's overhyped and under-awesome. Here is definitive, scientific proof that it's the worst (aka there's 2 pros and a million cons).

Pros:

1.Getting Fancy

Tis the season to look like a glitter bomb went off.


2. Champagne

(Sorry, Mom.)


That's it - end of the pro list. I challenge you to think of more, because I literally could not come up with a single other pro.

And now a million cons:

(Or, seven….)

1. The Hype.

What everyone says it will be like (so much for FOMO):

When it's a lot closer to this:


2. Resolutions.

I did not sign up for a long public discussion of what I’m currently bad at.

Random people are now allowed to ask about your resolution? Might as well go: “Hey, what are you upsettingly inadequate at just so I know to judge you when you don’t follow through on fixing it?”


3. Massive crowds.

People are horrible, particularly in high concentrations.


4. Massive crowds of drunk idiots.

Public urination and/or puking is not okay. It has never been okay; it will never be okay. And yet, on New Year's Eve, hella people seem to think they have a pass on this very important rule.


5. Being underage.

I WANNA GO OUT. How different is 20 from 21, for God's sake?!?!

6. Waiting for fireworks.

Okay, I like fireworks, I’m not dead inside. But when has standing in the cold, only to have most of the fireworks obscured in clouds (or fog, if you’re from the bay) been worth it?

7. The midnight kiss.

Third-wheeling (or ninth-wheeling; yes, I've ninth-wheeled):

And being pressured to kiss some rando when this is really the only kiss I want:

I could keep going, because NYE sucks. Happy New Year, and remember we'd all be better off hanging out with our cats.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
