New Year's Eve expectations vs reality - top 9

Compliments of Elite Daily

Expectation: we have too many New Year's Eve party invites and can't decide!
Reality: we're struggling to find one New Year's Eve party that we actually want to  
go to and due to indecision end up staying home and watching NYE on TV with take out in our favourite  sweats, Lol;)

Expectation: we'll be at the best, most exclusive New Year's Eve party, brushing shoulders with the coolest people
Reality: we'll be at an overpriced, overcrowded venue, brushing shoulders with everyone because the venue is over capacity and pissed because we paid a hundred bucks to feels sweaty and have four drinks in total;)

Expectation: we'll celebrate New Year's Eve with all of our cherished friends and loved ones.
Reality: everyone is busy or away and we're spending this important eve of a new year with Mum and the family dog, or a friend and her less than impressed boyfriend.

Expectation: there will be endless amounts of alcohol, champagne corks a'poppin', money no object (who cares if cable gets paid next month)
Reality: we spend more time getting to the bar and standing in line than actually drinking and sooo not worth giving up the shows we'll desperately need for January, one of the most uneventful months of the year;)

Expectation: the countdown to midnight will be perfect and at the strike of midnight hugging, kissing and cheering with the perfect person or at least our best friends.
Reality: countdown not so perfect, friends are scattered throughout the party and impossible to round up because they're probably in that stupid drink line up, Lol;)

Expectation: we'll get a romantic midnight kiss - significant other or future significant other leaps into our arms and plants the most romantic kiss and doves are released in the background, ha ha!
Reality: we'll get a sloppy kiss from a random stranger. If we're single, we'll either kiss the closest drunk person, or awkwardly stare at our cup while couples all around us make out. Like high school all over again;)

Expectation: we'll stay out until the sun rises. We'll be on such a buzz that we'll party 'til the wee hours and before we head home watch the first sunrise of the year with all our favourite people.
Reality: we'll be home right after midnight. We'll be booking that Uber or cab for 12:01 because pajama's are way more comfortable and TV is something we can count on.

Expectations: it'll be the best night of the year - a night to remember for the rest of the year, or maybe the rest of our lives.
Reality: just another night out. It was kinda fun, maybe?

Expectations: we'll start our New Year's resolutions right on New Year's Day. This year will be different and we'll go to the gym more often, cut down on drinking, cut out the toxic people in our lives. We'll be a new us;)
Reality: we're too hung over to get out of bed, the thought of exercise makes us wanna vomit and McDonald's is right down the street... and great for our post over-priced New Year's Eve budget.

Happy New Year everyone!!

Blessings,

Chatgirl
