The Holidays are always crazy, the meaning of this time of year has changed many times since us humans have been on earth so does it actually mean anything anymore? e I only find it to be a very stressful time of year and not very merry. It always boils down to just waiting for New Years (or Christmas if you’re younger), you know, just to feel like we've started something new again, a fresh start if you will.
Last New Years was surprisingly good, my friends and I had decided to go to Fribourg and party it up there instead of Lausanne. I didn't know what to expect and I was honestly not anticipating much at all. When we arrived there was the biggest line ever to get into the club and boy was it cold, yea winter is annoying.
Once we got inside, the place looked empty, but being one of the largest clubs in Switzerland means needing a lot of people to look full. There were at least three massive halls and each with its own DJ, look and feel. It was pretty cool.
The night started slow but eventually I started getting into it, more people arrived and the feeling of the bass going through your body is amazing and every time the DJ stopped the music to talk was like torture. *Note to all DJs out there, we don't want to hear you talk, just play the music and shut up.
In the end we all had a great time, we talked, danced and just partied until suddenly it was morning and it was time to head home. We caught the first train back to Lausanne and we all sat down for the 40 minute ride with a tired but content look on our faces.
All was quite until the train controller came to check for tickets. Suddenly everything started to get brighter followed by lots of “oohs” and “ahhs”. It was the first sunrise of the year and everyone in the train stopped what they were doing too look out at the amazingly beautiful sight. Even the controller stopped for a while just to see the sun rise.
It was at that moment I though it was going to be a good year. Looking back it’s been a crazy year with so much change and now I’m looking forward to what 2010 has to offer.
Now what should my New Years resolution be?
