10 Tweets That Sum Up Why 2016 Sucked

No, it's not your imagination. 2016 was shitty.

Hard to believe it, but 2016 is finally coming to a close..and I couldn't be happier. This year was a rough one not just for me personally, but for a large majority of the human population. 2016 marks the year when the British shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union. On July 7, five police officers were shot dead in Dallas and a week later the Islamic State took credit for a terrorist attack on France’s Bastille Day that resulted in numerous deaths in Nice. Before this even had a chance to leave our news channels, there was an attempted coup d’état in Turkey. It seemed that every time we turned on the TV or checked the news, we were hit with more violence and deaths than ever before. Not to mention the political uproar that has arisen from our most recent presidential election, which has resulted in even more division and anger among our nation. While it may not beat the year of the Black Death in 1348 or 1943 at the height of the Holocaust, 2016 definitely makes it high on the list as a bad year in history.

These 10 tweets perfectly sum up just how shitty 2016 has been.























All I can say is goodbye 2016; you will not be missed.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
