With the recent inauguration of President Trump, I was reflecting on President Obama's time in office, and thinking about 2016 in general. Here are 10 songs that perfectly described 2016 for me and probably most college students like me.

1. Sugar We're Going Down- Fall Out Boy

School and money and obligations, oh my!

2. Everybody Hurts- R.E.M

      This song was written by the drummer of the band, Bill Barry. Barry wanted to let people know that everybody goes through hard times, and (to quote High School Musical) we're all in this together.

      3. Highway to Hell - AC/DC

          This song perfectly sums up the election. 2016 is a year we will never forget. A day wouldn't pass where I wouldn't see a Trump bumper sticker, a Hillary sign, or even a "Feel The Bern" t-shirt. The election left the country politically divided, and in the end, we all knew there was going to be a loser.

          4. Oh No! - Marina and the Diamonds

          "Don't do love, don't do friends, I'm only after success." 2016 might not have been the greatest, but let's make 2017 about YOU.

              5. Survivor Destiny's Child

                "After all of the darkness and sadness still comes happiness"

                  6. American Idiot- Green Day

                    Those times throughout the year that we weren't too proud of...

                    7. Come Together- The Beatles

                      2016 seemed divided at times, yet there were times of unity and togetherness which be thankful for. Just think of all we accomplished this year...

                        8. Bye Bye Bye- NSYNC

                            Hasta la vista, 2016.

                            9. Migrane- Twenty One Pilots

                                By the time finals roll around, we all have a migrane.

                                10. Thnks fr th Mmrs- Fall Out Boy

                                  2016 was full of many memories, whether happy, exciting, or upsetting. Thanks for the memories 2016, you won't be missed.

                                  New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

                                  1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

                                  Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

                                  The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

                                  For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

                                  And so it begins.

                                  1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

                                  Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

                                  The 14 Stages Of The Last Week Of Class

                                  You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

                                  December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
