The 13 Best Things That Happened In 2015

They were also the most important things.

The 13 Best Things That Happened In 2015

2015, like any other year, had some definite low points: friendships were destroyed over the color of a dress, people ruined the concept of watching Netflix and chilling, and Zayn left One Direction. All of these things were devastating, there's no doubt. But a lot of good things came out of 2015 too. Now is the time to look back and reflect upon those good things.

1. The left shark in the background of Katy Perry's Superbowl performance.

Did the left shark have any idea what it was doing during the entirety of its time onstage? No. And neither did we. And that's what made it beautiful.

2. The "What are thooose?!" Vine and all of its variations.

It raised the most important question of the year in six short seconds.

3. The sudden spike in Bieber Fever.

He's the songbird of our generation -- it just took some of us a few years to realize it. Is it too late now to say sorry?

4. Deez Nuts.

The perfect answer to any question you're not tryna answer. Also, let's not forget that for a brief, wonderful moment, there was a presidential candidate named Deez Nuts gaining support in North Carolina:

#DeezNuts2k16.

5. Drake's dancing in his "Hotline Bling" music video.

He made pizza.

He played tennis.

He tried to catch 'em all.

6. This young gentleman's remix of "Too Close" by Next, in which he posed a very simple question.

Mmmmmmohmygod.

7. Every Vine that ended in an unexpected John Cena entrance.


Always a surprise.

8. Nicki Minaj calling Miley out at the end of her acceptance speech during the VMAs.

"Miley, what's good?" will forever be fighting words.

9. Shia LaBeouf urging us to "Just DO IT."

I don't know about anyone else, but after watching this, I definitely didn't let my dreams be dreams.

10. Speaking of motivation, we can't forget DJ Khaled's inspirational Snapchats.

The man gets lost while riding his jet ski at night, gets pulled over at least once a day, and yet he doesn't stop. He also still finds the time to tell us the keys to success from his backyard hammock. The real MVP.

11. The "look at this graph" Vine.

It changed my life.

12. Peanut butter kid.

He was so genuinely happy to be covered in peanut butter. Someone to look up to for sure.

13. The return of Adele.

Hello, indeed.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
