answer:I remember two New Years specifically. For the year 2000, Y2K that everyone was freaking out about, I was the tender age of 11. My best friend and also neighbor (very fun for us at the time) was at my house and we were playing a really long game of monopoly, probably not following most of the rules. But regardless, Monopoly was very much alive, and at midnight, when we did not explode, we threw all the fake money everywhere. And I remember that very well for some reason. Also then in 2009, I was only 20 but I was in NYC with my boyfriend at the time who I was in a long distance and also very new and exciting relationship with. We were staying with his friend in Brooklyn and it was my first real NYC experience, somehow I didn’t get carded at a bar and we stayed out all night dancing wildly to really great music in a bar that wasn’t crazy crowded or overrun like most. Somehow it just worked out and it was incredible. We took a cab home. I am not a city person and New York is not my thing, but that night was so much fun.
