The 7 Best New Year's Eve-Themed TV Episodes And Movies

New Year’s Eve. It’s an occasion to pop champagne (not that you really need one to) and wear too many sequins for your own good to ring in the new year--or in this year’s case, to celebrate the fact that 2016 has finally come to an end. This year was no walk in the park. If anything, it was a walk through a haunted house and up Mount Everest. But, it's almost over!

Whether you find yourself at an overly populated party or on your couch this New Year's Eve, there's no better way to get into the new year spirit than by re-watching some NYE-themed TV episodes and movies. Fresh starts, resolutions, and NYE kisses all make for pretty interesting plot lines. So, here are seven of the best New Year's Eve-themed TV episodes and movies.

1. "Friends"

Episode: "The One with the Routine"

In this episode, you can catch Monica and Ross busting out their coordinated dance routine from 8th grade at "Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve". You wish you had their moves.

2. "Seinfeld"

Episode: "The Millennium"

It's the millennium! Kramer and Newman begin planning elaborate parties for New Year's Eve 1999, but separate when they get into an argument over whether or not Jerry should be included. Meanwhile, George tries to get fired from the Yankees, Elaine gets into a feud with the owner or a Mayan clothing store, and Jerry dates a girl who uses her speed dial as a way to measure her relationships.

3. "New Year's Eve"

This was a given. You knew it was coming. Look at all of those celebs! And New Year's Eve in New York City? How can you resist watching this movie?

4. "How I Met Your Mother"

Episode: "The Limo"

In an attempt to have the perfect New Year's Eve, Ted rents a limo for the whole crew, with Ranjit behind the wheel (of course). They try to hit five parties in three hours and plan to ring in the new year at the best one at the end of the night. Barney's "Get Psyched" mix sets the mood, but they're on a tight time schedule and run into problems along the way.

5. "Gossip Girl"

Episode: "The End of the Affair"

Dan and Serena share a kiss. Chuck watches as Blair and Louis share a kiss. The season 5 episode comes after Chuck and Blair got in a car accident, Blair and Dan strike up an interesting friendship (relationship?), and the Gossip Girl site is down. It's all very dramatic. But, that's how it always is. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

6. "Friends"

Episode: "The One with All the Resolutions"

Yes, "Friends" had more than one notable New Year's Eve episode. In this one, Ross thinks it's a good idea to wear leather pants on a date. The struggle he goes through is never not funny. The episode focuses on resolutions the whole gang makes, and you basically get to watch them all fail at their resolutions. Bottoms up!

7. "Sex and the City"

The movie, not the TV show--but obviously both are great! What's in store for Carrie and her best gal pals on New Year's Eve? Probably something glamorously stressful. Watch it and find out.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
