I've never been to a New Year's
party.
But why would I want to spend the night with a bunch of random
people - most of which I might care less about - when I can spend
it at home on the couch with my family, who has been there for me
throughout my entire life?
Why should I spend it getting wasted and disrespecting myself and
my morals when I can spend it watching the ball drop in Times
Square, and calling all of my best friends immediately
afterward?
Why should I spend it kissing a guy when I'll have many, many
more New Years in the future to kiss a guy when the clock
strikes?
This year, why not spend it with my family instead?
Boys will come and go, but my family will always love me.
I'll have the future to go to parties - for starters,
I'll be surrounded by them in college;
and, besides,
no one lives forever.
By the way, happy new year.
