What Your New Year’s Eve Plans Say About You

There’s something strange about New Year’s Eve. It’s one of very few holidays that always happens to hit us fast with our deepest desires, and ignite our sparks for life, which is probably why end-of-the-year plans are so crucial.

Whether you’re looking for a special way to bring in the new year, or just want to make a few more memories before pushing out the old one, this year’s New Year’s Eve plans sure do have a way of telling us who we are, and who we’re going to want to be in 2017.

If you’re headed to a house party:

You are insanely happy with where you're at and grateful for the people in your life right now. It probably wasn’t a year of many firsts, but it also wasn’t a year of many lasts. And even though you don’t seem all that different, your mental, emotional and psychological "glowup" has been way too real.

Next year, you just want to keep the momentum going, and what better way to usher that attitude in than with a night surrounded by both old friends and new faces?

If you’re celebrating in the city:

This year has been a total “year of yes” for you. You’ve taken risks in a way you never have before, and aside from that one time you experimented with the faux freckle trend, you’ve pretty much reaped the reward.

In turning a new leaf, you just want to take advantage of your newfound courage this holiday and into 2017. You have no idea who you'll be by the end of the year, but that’s the fun of it.

If you’re doing it up as a duo:

This year has been HECTIC, full of ups and downs and all arounds. But whether you were enduring a tribulation or savoring a celebration , these past 12 months have taught you what the most important things in life are. This year, there’s nothing you’d rather do than spend time with that one special someone, who calms you down and keeps you on the straight and narrow.

Maybe it’s a brother, maybe it’s a mother, maybe it’s a friend, maybe it’s a beau. No matter what, familiarity is something you cherish and strengthening relationships you already have is your main goal.

If you’re staying home alone:

Hailee Steinfeld spoke to your soul this year. For the first time in a long time, you seriously love yourself and know you don’t need anyone else. This year came with some major battles, but it also made you rise up on your own two feet and get your life together: no prince charming, magic lamp or grade curve in sight.

You may not have gotten everything you wanted, but you sure got everything you needed, and now it’s time to celebrate those achievements with a party of one. Congratulations, you’ve finally got the hang of this thing called life.

Happy New Year’s, Terps! 2016 has been an interesting 365 days to say the least. But if we can get through “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” the flower crown filter and an election from hell all in one year, we can get through anything.

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.
