How are you planning to spend New Year’s Eve? Watching fireworks most probably, or having some good food with friends. While some love to celebrate the year-end cheer, others would rather run from parties as far as they possibly can. There are many ways people will spend the last moments of the year. So what kind of people are they? Read on to find out our unserious takes on what your New Year’s Eve plans say about you.
Some see the year end as another huge party to celebrate accomplishments, catch-up with old friends, and countdown to the new year. Their New Year’s Eve plans are to plan out the next year’s parties. With everyone on holiday break and in a festive mood, throwing a large bash is more than welcome. Perhaps, even night out downtown in their favourite outfits to hit the best bars and restaurants in the city. And of course, popping a bottle of bubbly Champagne as they cheer to another successful year.
Meanwhile, there are those who retreat from all the noise. Some spend it in isolation, in a quiet neighbourhood far from the city fireworks. Some travel as far as other winter destinations to unwind and relax. The important thing here is the time to reflect on the year, taking account of both good and bad. With that, one has the clarity of mind to set New Year’s resolutions and goals for the coming year. Some people feel truly at peace with a hot beverage by a fireplace alone, away from people and expectations.
So which New Year’s Eve plans sound best to you? Here are some ideas and what kind of person you are based on them.
What your New Year’s Eve plans say about you
In a fancy rooftop restaurant
You live life to the fullest and celebrate success with your loved ones. Having spent the year working hard it’s time to flip the switch and play hard. Wishing Christmas was longer, you go all out with festivities and gifts, because there’s no better time of the year to do so.
At a park
Your someone who values community and being with people, even those who you consider strangers. You’re family probably instilled the tradition of being around people for New Year’s Eve and you slowly understood why. Large crowds and fancy restaurants aren’t really your thing and you’d rather go to a park for free with your loved ones.
In a hotel room
You are a homebody with a high-street taste. Valuing your ‘me-time’ this year-end, you’ve decided to treat yourself and spend a cosy luxurious night in. Whether you’re celebrating alone, with a lover, or family your circle is small but precious. The finer things in life are best enjoyed in comfort, so you wonder why people would trouble themselves to dress up and head out for New Year’s Eve.
On a crowded street
Being outdoors is a constant for you, always on a quest for a new experience. You probably can’t keep yourself at home even if your were handcuffed. Exploring the streets, meeting new people are your lifeline and the moments are what make you feel alive. Counting down the last seconds of the year truly makes you feel human, alongside the cheers of hundreds of people just like you.
In a foreign crowded street
You probably have just finished your travel plans for the next year before you wrap up this year’s plans. Being in another country on New Year’s Eve is something you’ve romanticised thanks to your favourite movies. And sure, people will say what’s the big difference, but those who travel just as much as you would know exactly why.
At a distant holiday destination
You treasure your time alone so much that you’re willing to travel for it. No big cities or loud places for you though, just a cabin in some snowy place with more animals than humans. It’s your time to hibernate, go offline from emails and social media and be yourself. Whether you’re watching the Northern lights or on a distant island beach, you’re giving a toast to you.
Dinner at home with friends
You’re an introvert who is lucky to have friends as introverted as you. Instead for spending money outside, you’ve all decided to cook your favourite dishes indoors and celebrate at a friends apartment. Your social circle may be small but it’s one you hold close, and you don’t mind that at all.
Asleep
You’ve probably had enough of Christmas parties and gatherings and need to catch up on sleep. Perhaps you’ve lost some rest over planning Christmas parties or from being ridiculously hungover from them. Either way, you can’t be bothered with any of this New Year’s nonsense and we don’t blame you for it. However, good luck resting once the clock hits 12.
