The Stages Of New Year’s Eve Told Through ‘High School Musical’ GIFs

New Year’s Eve is…to put it bluntly…shit.

It’s so much hype around an average night (at best), and every year that we swear it’ll get better, low and behold it doesn’t.

It’s no secret that High School Musical is one of the most iconic NYE films of all time. Confused? Well ya fake fan, don’t forget the opening scene was Troy and Gabriella at the kids’ NYE party, eyes locked singing ‘What I’ve Been Looking For’ minutes before midnight?!

Anyway, we both know the only love story that actually takes place on NYE is the one between me and a can of Pringles. So if you’re planning on spending NYE like me – watching all three High School Musical films on repeat – you’ll relate to these GIFS on a deep level.

Here are the stages of New Year’s Eve as told by High School Musical GIFS:

You wake up the morning of December 31st, expecting your night to look like this

When it’s probably going to look like this

You wait around for the inevitable “sorry I can’t make it” text from your friends

But surprisingly no one cancels

You dig through your closet before settling on the PERFECT outfit

So you bounce out ready to hit the town

You get to the party/club and it’s crowded as furrrkk

But it’s time to whip out those killer dance moves!

9pm hits and you’re already feeling tired but your bestie gets you another drink and wakes you the fk up

Midnight is approaching and you realise you still don’t have a kiss lined up

Even though, like, 50 guys have tried to talk to you

You grab a couple more drinks and start to feel hella lit

And are pretty much having the time of your life

Until 11:30pm hits and you have to find someone, quick

You start to use weird pickup techniques to attract the opposite sex

While all your coupled up friends just watch on in shock

You finally reign it down to two guys who aren’t terrible

However 10 minutes before midnight you see both of them necking on with other people

And you officially come to the conclusion that you’ll be single at midnight

However, your bestie tells you to wait and that she’s found someone perfect for you

She brings over a guy who’s 6ft, great hair, good personality, and holds a steady job

You hit it off, and you’re so excited to finally have a New Year’s kiss

But once 11:59pm hits, you decide “f*ck it”, and ditch him to go reign in the New Year with your besties

You party way into the night having the time of your fkn life

Before ultimately calling it, heading to Macca’s, and enjoying your first meal of the New Year

You wake up at midday, feeling hella wonky

But all in all, you’re ready to have a great fkn year
