An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
New Year’s Eve: Optimist vs. Pessimist Edition
It’s that time of year again – sparkly dresses, champagne toasts, and… vastly different approaches to saying goodbye to the old and hello to the new. Let’s peek into the minds of two very different partygoers on New Year’s Eve:
The Optimist:
- Outfit: Sparkling like a disco ball in their most dazzling threads, ready to shine brighter than the fireworks.
- Pre-party ritual: Manifesting good vibes with vision boards, lucky charms, and enough glitter to fuel a unicorn parade.
- Countdown to midnight: Belting out cheesy karaoke, sharing heartfelt resolutions (and maybe questionable dance moves), and generally radiating enough positivity to power a small city.
- Midnight: Cheersing with tears of joy (and maybe a splash of champagne) as the clock strikes twelve, welcoming the new year with open arms and open hearts.
The Pessimist:
- Outfit: Black turtleneck and comfortable shoes, because, you know, something might go wrong, like a rogue confetti explosion or a sudden meteor shower.
- Pre-party ritual: Stockpiling emergency snacks, triple-checking all exits, and mentally preparing for the inevitable power outage/alien invasion/robot uprising.
- Countdown to midnight: Hiding under a table, muttering about resolutions being unrealistic and predicting the exact time someone will spill a drink on them.
- Midnight: Sighing with relief that the old year is finally over, crossing their fingers that the new one isn’t worse, and maybe, just maybe, cracking a tiny smile if nobody trips and falls face-first into the cake.
**No matter your outlook, let’s raise a glass (or a mug of herbal tea) to a fresh start, new possibilities, and hopefully, not too many rogue confetti explosions. Happy New Year, everyone! **
