NEW YEARS EVE
& 2015 Reminiscing
HELLO !
So today is the last day of 2015. Which is absolutely ridiculous because I swear I sneezed sometime in 2014 and nek minute, it’s 2016?!?! Marty McFly, are you stuffing up the space time continuum again?!?!
2015 for me in a brief, yet nostalgic nutshell:
2015 has been filled with one too many solo dance offs in my room, a heckload of online streaming, multiple trips to Brunswick St, arguably one crystal necklace too many and chronic unemployment. It was also the time when I had my first year of uni. To the younger kids, if you’re concerned about starting uni, don’t be - it’s mainly youthful looking adults being confused as to what the damn hell is going on, mixed with one assignment too many and a whiff of the mature age student - a rarity. I also had more blogging adventures - blogging events, collaborations and got to meet more of you guys (some in person!) and can’t wait to see what blogging shenanigans 2016 has in store!
But that’s enough reminisin’, let’s take a step into today and get down into the nitty gritty of what went down during our New Year’s Eve family gathering…

But that’s enough reminisin’, let’s take a step into today and get down into the nitty gritty of what went down during our New Year’s Eve family gathering…
At 3-ish, we gathered around our dining table and tucked into good food. I had an epic sushi platter and some salads. And we already had the Pimm’s opened. Served with some mixes and tropical fruit. From then on it was pretty much a blur so what I’m about to say isn’t going to be entirely accurate…
Amongst the Pimm’s chaos, mother and sister & I had casual banter relating to topics such as memes, fave songs and accent imitation.
Then my friend Phoebe came. She had Church in two hours, so being the responsible Catholics we are, my family and I got her to jug down as many Pimm’s glasses as possible. I’m pretty sure there was alcohol in the Last Supper, so it was pretty much a modernised version of the classic New Testament story…“The Last Supper New Years Edition” so I think the Messiah will thank us later.
Here’s a pic of us, looking very adult with our wine glasses, merely taken whilst undergoing our legitimate adult duties….

After Phoebe left to give the Messiah a helping hand, my family friend Tina came and the Pimm’s action continued. My sister left to go to a New Year’s party, and Lauren, if you’re reading this, what occurred from that moment on, I will never forget. You missed an epic dancing sesh - there were intense dance-offs, a bit of cha cha, unsightly swaying, step ball changes, followed by completing my deed of the day and teaching them how to do the nae nae. You’re welcome Silento.
Then Tina left and there was just mum and me. We were tired as hell but tried to make the most of it. We spent the last few moments of 2015 talking about the typical sentimental New Years Eve whatnot… ‘What do you want to achieve in 2016’ and blah blah. And finally, it reached 12 am and I jumped a ludicrous amount (every year mum says ‘the more you jump, the more you’ll grow’ which I think is rubbish as I’m as petite as they get), we watched the fireworks which were released two streets from our house and they were so close to our faces that for a moment, we thought that is was the end of the world or something… Then I yelled/screamed ‘HAPPY NEW YEAR’ and made as much vocal noise as possible because that’s what you’re supposed to do thanks to societal standards.
So really, what do you want to achieve in 2016?
When Mum and I spoke about this, I didn’t answer because I have absolutely no idea. Who knows what awaits in 2016. Is it a part-time job? A new hairstyle? Will I be into crocs again? Mum’s answer was to ‘shoot for the starts’. Continuing on with the sentimentality, I reckon you should. Strive to make your dream a reality so those stars are no longer far away, they’re merely a fragment of your reality. *drops mic* 2016, I'm coming for ya !
HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU SPECTACULAR BEING !
