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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
