Picture this: you’re clinking champagne all night, wearing a brand new sparkly dress, listening to music and laughing in a swanky glamorous party and, of course, you land yourself a romantic, spontaneous kiss at midnight. It’s your New Year’s Eve dream. Unfortunately it is just that -- a dream. Despite seeing these kinds of magical New Year’s parties in movies and on TV, it is pretty unlikely that any of us have ever had a "High School Musical" (the first one, obviously) style New Year were you suddenly develop singing skills and happen to have a hunk like Zac Efron as your karaoke partner. We can hope for this, but deep down inside we know that the reality of our New Year’s Eve is far less sparkly, the champagne is in plastic cups, and the only kiss at midnight will be with a large pizza.
1. You might think you'll be partying it up at a Gatsby like soiree, but it's more likely that you'll be staying on the couch for majority of the night. 
2. You probably picture yourself donning some slinky, sparkly dress. Wrong.
3. If you can sip champagne at a classy party, you can chug champagne out of the bottle from your couch.
Same difference.
4. Fancy finger foods at a cocktail party? More like eating the entire pantry and ordering pizza.
What? You want to enjoy your last day before you have to pretend to stick to those resolutions. New year, new you? Yeah, right.
5. Yeah, you could be socializing with friends, or you could just watch the New Year's countdown on TV.
It's music, celebs, and no one will judge if you fall asleep before midnight.
6. Yeah, you could have celebratory kiss with a handsome stranger, but the chances of all that working out the way you picture it in your head is probably less than hot, and not much to celebrate.
7. You could go to a party, but then you have to be social, and act normal, and wear real clothes.
Basically moral of the story is that since your New Year's expectations will likely end in disappointment, save yourself the trouble and plan an awesome night in, fueled by delivery pizza and cheap champagne --straight from the bottle because is there really any other way?
