16 Things We Won't Miss About 2016

As any year comes to a close, we cannot help but reminisce on the good and bad incidences that occurred. 2016 is no exception. While many great things happened, like advancements in cancer research and research that coffee consumption reduces suicide rates (liquid happiness), many horrible things also happened. Here are sixteen of the biggest things that we will not miss about 2016.


1. The election.

Not thrilled about the next four years, but at least the election is over and done.

2. Dabbing.

We get it, lets move on.

3. News about the male birth control injection study being called off because of “adverse effects.”

Grow a pair, guys.

4. Police brutality.

This did not originate in 2016, and it will not end when 2016 does. But we can certainly hope and work to make it better in 2017.

5. The Mannequin Challenge.

This was funny for about two seconds and then Blac Chyna decided to film it in the delivery room. Let’s put this to rest before 2017.

6. Hate crimes.

Again, this is not an issue that began in 2016, but after the Pulse Nightclub shooting it is shockingly clear that they need to come to an end.

7. Kylie Jenner realizing things.

No comment.

8. Donald Trump’s mouth sending women back about fifty years.

Oh wait, this isn’t over.

9. #Over #Using #Hashtags.

#This #Needed #To #Be #Over #A #Long #Time #Ago.

10. Celebrity deaths.

Gene Wilder, Alan Rickman, Prince, Muhammad Ali, to name a few of the greats.

11. Zika spreading.

This dangerous disease spread by mosquitos made its way to South Florida.

12. Harambe memes.

Everything about this situation was tragic, but it’s probably about time for the Harambe memes to rest in peace.

13. Lindsay Lohan’s new, fake “accent.”

You do you, girl.

14. Terrorist Attacks.

They happen way more often that we realize around the world.

15. Pokémon Go.

It is time to let it go.

16. Green smoothies.

Oh kale no.

While 2016 had countless negative moments, it is important to look back on the good ones as well. Celebrate the year for all it’s worth, and strive to make 2017 remarkable. Happy New Year!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
