It’s that time of year again. No, not actually New Year’s Eve yet but it is the time of year when people start cementing their New Year’s Eve plans.
And by people, I mean other people. Definitely not me.
Last year, Ryan and I decided what we were going to do on December 31st. At 6:30. PM.
I love Halloween, I am a Thanksgiving person, I start listening to Christmas music in August. But for some reasons, I can’t seem to make New Year’s Eve plans even remotely before the ball drops.
My most notable NYE was my sophomore year in high school. I had one Bacardi Limon & Lemonade, sat in an upperclassman’s hot tub and made snow angels. I remember thinking “This is awesome. This is as good as it gets!”.
Judging by my lack of caring about NYE plans in the past decade, that was as good as it gets.
Every year, I vow to make plans that are awesome enough in advance for me to at least secure a cute outfit. Emails are circulating around my group of friends so I think now is the time.
So, I am opening this up to all of you cool, New Year’s Eve loving, awesome pre-planning people: What was your favorite New Year’s Eve of all time? Do you have any must-experience Chicago New Year’s Eve traditions you want to share with me? And Ryan? And possibly 3o of our friends?
