16 Things To Leave In 2016

A list of things that have no place in the new year.

Jan 16, 2017

A lot happened in 2016, especially online and in pop culture. Some good, some bad and some just outright annoying. Here's a list of things that have no place in the new year. Here are 16 things that should stay in 2016.

1. Harambe

A gorilla that died in 2016 quickly rose to internet fame and became the face of one too many memes. Social media can be so weird. Let's leave him and all the jokes in 2016.

2. The saying "Netflix and chill"

Let's be real, it's overused and no one wants to hear it.

3. Chokers

Just when we thought 2016 was bad, it got worse: chokers made a comeback. It was quite the horrifying attempt at a fashion statement made by many celebrities.

4. Man Buns

Harry Styles cut his hair and moved on, you can too.

5. Pokemon Go

The Pokemon can go, go away that is.

6. Musical.lys

Please tell me I'm not the only one so over seeing 12 to 14-year-olds and younger getting internet famous from making ridiculous videos of themselves lip-syncing to music.

7. Jacob Sartorius

Following #6, this kid is the perfect example of a tween famous from the app. Wondering how bad it could possibly be? Check out his "hit" song here.

8. The whip and the nae nae

Watch me, watch me, watch me leave this dance in 2016.

9. Vine

Vine died in 2016, but people are still talking about it and promoting their channels. The app is over, please let it stay that way.

10. Those Spongebob memes

If I see one more caveman Spongebob meme on my timeline I swear I'm going to pull my hair out.

11. Water bottle flips

Can I get an amen?

12 Mannequin Challenge

I wonder just how many of these were completed in 2016. Intriguing at first but now just overdone and overplayed.

13. Evil Kermit the Frog memes

I saw about 100 different ones of these during finals week. We've had our fill. Internet, it's time to move on.

14. Hilary Clinton

Trump won, leave Clinton and the rest of her campaign in 2016.

15. Debates about Starbucks holiday cups

People will always find something to critique during the holiday season, but how about in 2017 we keep it to ourselves because newsflash: no one really cares.

16. Celebrity deaths

So many people passed this year. Google it, it's crazy to see all the names. May they all rest in peace. 2017, please be easy on us.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
