Let's leave these back in 2016, yeah?

Oh 2016. What a year.

Can you believe how much garbage went down within approximately 366 rotations of the Earth? 2016, although a great year in some respects, was a trash year in many other ways.

Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds died, the Zika Virus became a thing, and the Mannequin Challenge continued to be unoriginal—just to name a few of the terrible things to happen in 2016.

Join me as I narrow down the list and kvetch about the 16 worst things to happen in 2016.

1. The Mannequin Challenge

Dear God, I can’t even can’t how many times I watched a poor rendition of the Mannequin Challenge done at everyone’s Thanksgiving table. We get it. You think it’s funny to involve your whole family in a millennial trend. It’s not — it’s just unoriginal. Let’s leave this one in 2016. Sound good?

2. Lena Dunham

Can she just not? Miss Dunham is like the human version of a mosquito. She’s irritating, we don’t really know what her purpose is, and she just won’t go away. *Swat*

3. Flipping Water Bottles

Why is everyone so amazed at the fact that it’s possible to flip a water bottle 360 degrees? This isn’t that cool.

4. Vaping

“People who vape are so cool,” said no one ever.


5. Rob and Chyna

Ugh.

6. Over-drawn eyebrows

Eyebrows are supposed to look natural. When eyebrows look like giant bolded underscores hanging over your eye balls, it’s not cute. Make 2017 the year of natural brows.

7. Lace-up bodysuits

Basic. Basic. Basic. Why do you need a shoelace to keep your top together?

8. The No-Makeup look

Wear makeup, don’t wear makeup. I don’t care. But don’t consider yourself a hero because you decided to show the world what you really look like under all of those layers of foundation.

9. Social Justice Warriors

2016 was the year of the SJWs. Whiney whine whine—stay in 2016, please.

10. Floppy Felt Hats

Hear me out. Floppy hats are meant to be worn when it’s hot and sunny outside – presumably to block out the sun, right? Felt, however, is a material meant to be worn in the cold. Therefore, Floppy felt hats are kind of a paradox if you really think about it. Let’s leave this trend in 2016.

11. The use of the word ‘Bae’

I know you think it’s super original to post a picture with your significant other right in front of the Golden Gate Bridge and caption the photo “Bae Area,” but it’s not. Let’s refrain from using the word Bae in 2017.

12. Pokémon Go

Something about grown-up people chasing fictional characters around the city on their iPhones is unsettling. It was, and always will be weird.

12. Harambe's death


Rest in peace, dear Harambe.

14. Safe Spaces

Would you like a pacifier with that safe space? Please. No more of this in 2017.

15. Wedge Sneakers

It’s either wedges, or sneakers. Not both.

16. Rumors about Kimye getting a divorce

If you participated in spreading said rumors, we can no longer be friends. Kimye forever, okay?!

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.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
