Listen, we all know that 2021 was a near carbon copy of 2020; at least, it was to me. The only thing that will make up for it is a wonderful 2022. If you're like me and also looking to find ways to say goodbye and good riddance to 2021, then you'll be happy to know that it's this Friday. Yes, it's that close. What's the best way to celebrate? I have the answers, right here.
