Ah, New Year’s Eve! Every year, it’s all glitz and glamour, popping the bubbly and kissing your ~soulmate~ as the ball drops… Or at least that’s what it looked like in The O.C. and that absolutely awful movie New Year’s Eve. The truth is, for most of us, NYE is just an anxiety-inducing letdown. After year upon year of disappointment, many collegiettes are turning to Netflix and pajamas to ring in 2016 the right way. As for our favorite celebs? They’re also rethinking the most undeservedly anticipated night of the year.
Take Jennifer Lawrence. The actress (and our pretend BFF) recently opened up about her plans—or lack thereof—for the 31st during a pre-taped episode of The Graham Norton Show. “I really hate [New Years],” JLaw said. “I’ve never had a good one—everyone’s chasing a good time and it’s always a disappointment. I plan on doing nothing and then if something lands in my lap … but I always end up drunk and disappointed.” Ugh, Jen just gets us.
But New Year’s Eve isn’t the only occasion that gets the actress all worked up. During the show, she also explained her slightly drastic way of dealing with anxiety. “When I get stressed and exhausted I just vomit,” she explained. “I was driving with my publicist the other day and had to roll down the window and I puked all down the side of the car. It was in front of all the paparazzi—I painted New York! And I threw up at Madonna’s party—on the porch!” Yikes. We can all take a lesson from this whole interview: this year, staying in with your personal bottle of vino is probably a safer bet than—ahem—painting the town red for New Year’s Eve. Merlot and your Netflix account never disappoint.
