So, there I was, a few years back, standing in Times Square, wedged between a guy wearing a giant banana costume and a woman who seemed to have brought her entire kitchen sink of party poppers. It was New Year's Eve, and I was right in the thick of it. As the countdown began, I thought to myself, "Self, you're doing this all wrong. You're freezing, you can't move, and you've got a banana for a neighbor." That's when I decided, next New Year's, I'm doing things differently. And you know what? You should too!
