When I was more of a child, new years eve was my favorite day of the whole year because it was the only day I could stay up late and not get scolded for it. More recently and even when I look a few years back I think I loved this day not because of the friends I spent time with and the freedoms I had but because I get a chance to start over. The chance for everyone to set new goals and have hopes for the next year.
