There is so much pressure for New Year’s Eve to be the night that surpasses all others! It’s almost as though we try to make up for the Friday nights that we missed going out on – by making this night, in particular, count!  But come mid-December most people realize that they’re just going to end up at that one party everyone keeps raving about – year after year. How about getting some close friends together and trying these new year celebration ideas instead?!

1. Throw a slumber party with your school besties!!

Get your closest friends over in their PJs and stay up all night!

Get just a little bit out of town that weekend and party somewhere new!

It’ll be worth it…and very Instagram-worthy too!

Something super different and super exciting – new year, new ways to celebrate, right?!

5. Go Braving!!
