I've always stayed up, but the clock hitting midnight has never been this huge thing for me. It hasn't mattered that much, I just enjoyed any excuse to stay up past midnight when I was younger, and now I just kinda end up doing it every night. Staying up for the new year was pretty nice this year, but it was just my dad and I, and we just kept count of how many minutes were left, and then said Happy New Year to each other when it hit. Saying it to my friends in different time zones is cool.
