Most people say that 2016 was terrible—and I don’t think they are entirely wrong, as there were some terrible parts—but there were also so many things to celebrate!

Here are just 10 of the really awesome things that happened this year:

1. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds finally showed their adorable children off to the public, and it was cute as can be.

2. Leo finally won an Oscar!

3. More puppies!!!

4. Instagram changed its logo (which I honestly think is for the good of everyone—its much prettier now).

5. There were so many hilarious memes made to make fun of Donald Trump’s hair.

6. Netflix somehow made us all love it even more than we did by giving us a Gilmore Girls revival.

7. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth gave us all a little bit of hope by getting back together after calling off their engagement.

8. James Corden’s carpool karaoke went viral and became one of the greatest things to ever grace this world (in my humble opinion).

9. Ellen DeGeneres took Michelle Obama shopping at CVS…and it was hilarious.

10. The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead and the CAVS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

Thank you, 2016! You were alright (especially for the city of Cleveland ((unless you're the Cleveland Browns...sorry)). Go CLE!!!)

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
