Every New Year’s Eve is the same thing: You and your friends plan to have the best night ever, but somehow you always end up disappointed. Isn’t NYE supposed to end with a hot guy running through the streets to get to you before the ball drops, or does that only happen in every movie ever made? We’re guessing the latter. Keep reading for a list of the thoughts we all experience on NYE, no matter how badly we try to plan the perfect night.
1. Tonight is going to be UNreal.
2. Good music, champagne, dancing all night with my friends!
3. Maybe a cutie to kiss at midnight…
4. How could it go wrong?
5. If I put together a cute outfit, I’m bound to have a good time, right?
6. Is it mandatory to wear sequins on NYE?
7. Hmm, where can I find a cheap outfit with sequins that I don’t mind ruining… Forever 21 it is!
8. Now that that’s figured out, what’re we going to do tonight?
9. Pregame at my place, then Uber to the bar?
10. Dammit, I’m home for break and I live in the suburbs.
11. The Uber ride into the city is going to be like 40 bucks…
12. I guess my mom can drive us…?
13. Ugh, but where’s the fun in that?
14. Okay, suck it up. It’s NYE – you can splurge for one night.
15. Whoa, the line for this bar is crazy long.
16. Not to mention it’s FREEZING.
17. The cover is $30?? Bey and Jay better be performing here tonight.
18. Annnnnd the bouncer denied me.
19. Alright, I guess we’re taking another 40-dollar ride back to the suburbs.
20. Word on the street is that one guy from high school who always fell asleep in my Spanish class is having a party – we might as well go there.
21. Wow, a not-so-crowded basement with bright fluorescent lights and warm beers – not exactly where I thought I’d be tonight.
22. I feel a bit overdressed… *self-consciously folds arms over sequined dress*
23. Oh, thank God – it’s almost midnight so I can go home to catch up on AHS and start 2015 off the right way.
24. “10… 9… 8… 7…” Anyone to kiss?
*Turns and sees random kid from high school*
…nope!
25. “6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!“
*Subtly scopes out the nearest exit*
26. Jesus, this night was the real American Horror Story.
27. I need to grab my friends and get to the nearest McDonald’s, ASAP.
28. Ouch, and I gotta get these damn heels off.
29. Ugh, I just slipped and fell in the snow. Happy New Year!
