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!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
