It’s the start of a new year, and while it’s okay to strive for a “new you,” we sincerely hope you don’t do away with the entire “old you.” Specifically, hold on to the “old you” that loves getting dressed to the nines, slugging back a few drinks, and partying the night away. Otherwise the following New Year’s Eve celebrations (and 2017 in general) would be a little too dull for our liking.
Although, after dealing with 2016, perhaps dull wouldn’t be too terrible.
