2018, a year that sometimes felt like a century, has just hours left in it until the clocks chime midnight and 2019 kicks off. The last day of a year is, as ever, a time for reflection—and, of course, for cutting loose as the new year dawns. Social media posts abound on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook sharing photo recaps of the year, listing good (and not-so-good) memories, and sending good vibes for a great—or at least better—2019. And that’s true of celebrities, too: Some spent their New Year’s Eve thinking some deep thoughts; others headed out for a night of parties. Other celebs chose to skip the shindigs all together and head out on vacation (hey, can’t blame ’em). As we all get ready to say “Thank U, Next” to 2018, here’s how some of our favorite famous people are ringing in the new year.

Kendall Jenner

Jenner, along with sisters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, are hitting the slopes in Aspen—and, of course, doing the most for the ‘gram.

Lena Waithe

“I ain’t got no New Years resolutions. I’m just gon keep doing the same shit. ?,” Waithe captioned her chilled-out Instagram. We support this 100 percent.

Ariana Grande

No word on her evening plans, but Ari is ready to say goodbye to 2018—which has been a tough one for her personally, if an awesome one professionally. “farewell 2018, you fuck,” she posted on Instagram. “i hope this new year brings you all much laughter, clarity and healing. ? be gentle with yourselves and each other. if we made it thru this last year, we’ll for sure make it thru this one. thank you for everything. ?”

Kourtney Kardashian

Along with copying her little sister’s bikini photo shoot, Kardashian is also ringing in the new year with her ex Scott Disick and his girlfriend, Sofia Richie.

Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, Sophie Turner, and Joe Jonas

Also living that après-ski life? The newlyweds and their favorite travel buddies in Switzerland. Looks like they’re also taking up roulette.

Anne Hathaway

The actress was feeling optimistic in her New Year’s Eve Instagram: “Thanking the lessons of 2018, especially the ones I feel like cursing;Welcoming 2019 with all the sweetness, softness and gratitude in my heart; Wishing blessings and abundance for us all.”

Naomi Watts

Watts made a fantastic choice to kick off the new year with some sunshine in Puerto Rico.

Gabrielle Union

“All my unfinished work/projects from 2018 looking at me as I prepare my vision board for 2019 like ???,” she captioned her ‘gram. Same, TBH.

Karlie Kloss

Kloss, who’s been honeymooning in Africa with new husband Joshua Kushner, looks like she’ll be ringing in 2019 in a tropical setting.

Kim Kardashian

Kim reminded us that she and Paris Hilton are BFFs again, and we’re living for this going-into-2019 reconciliation.

Evan Rachel Wood

Wood is ringing in the New Year in Italy, and it’s fine; we’re not jealous.

Serena Williams

The tennis legend is getting warmed up for tomorrow’s game against other tennis legend Roger Federer—with her little one in her arms.

Lucy Hale

The actress seems to be ringing in 2019 from NoLa (please have a hurricane for us).

Khloé Kardashian

The new mom posted a video collage of some of her moments from 2018—and, well, let’s just say she had a few ups and downs this year. The video was accompanied by a lengthy caption looking back on all of it: “2018 was a roller coaster of emotions. My soul endured, the highest highs and the lowest lows. Praise be to GOD because at this moment, I’m at an all time high. This season the devil did not rest, I was tested, time and time again. I came out of my experiences stronger than ever! My spirit can not be broken!! This year I faced my challenges by trusting myself, not always in my decisions but in my ability to overcome whatever I was being tested with. I now know I am a conqueror, I am stronger than I ever could have imagined, and no matter which obstacle I face, I will always overcome it.”

Drew Barrymore

The actress posted a pic of her cats, because really, what is there to even say?

Amanda Seyfried

The Mamma Mia! star is basically already in 2019.

Candice Swanepoel

The model is ringing in the new year from Cape Town, South Africa.

Cardi B

It seems appropriate that Cardi started her 2019 ahead of most of us—in Australia, no less.

Kylie Jenner

The lip kit mogul really seems to be embracing the “new year, new you” vibe with some icy blue hair.

Jennifer Garner

The actress shared a grateful and hopeful message heading into 2019: “I am grateful for all of the friendship, health, silliness and growth (even painful) of 2018. I am prayerfully grateful for my children and family. Please, more of the same next year, for all of us.”

Kristin Cavallari

Cavallari is getting some extra snugs in before the clock strikes midnight.
