Kiplinger

Every year as we approach the end of December and the beginning of January, people tweet and write articles on and write Facebook posts to say that the ending year has really not been their year. People sometimes have bad years but not everybody has a bad year every single year. Instead of looking back on the year with pessimism and bitterness, let's look back at all the great things that happened this year and remember that it's the little things that count.

1. That shopping spree where you got great deals on everything.

2. When you got a better grade than expected on that huge research paper.

3. Every single time you laughed.

4. When spring came and made the world outside warm again.

5. When your brother actually responded to your snap chats.

6. Because you and your besties had tons of fun together.

7. That time that cute guy/girl actually smiled at you and your face looks like this:

8. Every single notification you got from your group messages. Because even though group texts are annoying, we can all be thankful to have friends like those.

9. When your mom randomly bought you coffee and some of your groceries and dropped them off at your dorm.

10. Because 2016 was full of great memories.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
