When people tell you about their favorite holiday, most usually mention Christmas or their birthday. My favorite holiday is New Year's, and for many reasons. Here is why New Year's Eve should be your favorite holiday too!
1. It's a party.
New Year's Eve is a blast. No matter if you go to a big party or just watch the ball drop in Times Square from home, it's an event you can't avoid. You completed a crazy ride of a year, let yourself celebrate!
2. It's right after Christmas.
With new clothes and new money burning a hole in your pocket, it seems too good to be true to be celebrating yet another holiday so soon. Still on your Christmas high, you have plenty of holiday cheer and joy to spread to others. For college students, it means a longer winter break and an excuse to keep pushing off the long drive back to school.
3. New Year's offers a fresh start.
Many may say a new year equals a new me. Even though much doesn't change, New Year's offers the idea of a fresh start and new opportunities to better yourself. Whether you want to be more fearless or start forcing yourself to go to the gym, a fresh start may be just what you needed,
4. New Year's resolutions rock.
Making New Year's resolutions is a great way to motivate yourself. Whenever you try to get out of a new task you previously wanted to work towards, you get to remind yourself that you made this your New Year's resoluation- aka the "only thing" you have to do all year. You can handle one task- you got this. Past you wanted it, keep that in mind!
5. Watching the ball drop in NYC.
Watching the ball drop in Times Square every year is full of excitement. Whether you're watching from home or standing in Times Square, counting down to New Year's is such a rush. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like it's watching my new beginning coming right towards me.
It's time to put away the Christmas leftovers and find any outfit you have covered in glitter- it's New Year's! New Year's Eve is easily my favorite holiday, and it should be yours too! 3, 2, 1 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!
