As 2016 winds down to an end and we approach a new year, I can't help but sit down and reflect on everything that has happened this past year.
1. "bae"
It's just gross. You sound stupid.
2. The Hate
I grew up thinking that the world was full of love and chances and rainbows and butterflies. It wasn't until I left home and went on my own to see how messed up this world really is. People hate people for being a different color, believing in a different God or loving someone of the same sex. There is so much hate in this world. How can we expect to improve our society if we all are fighting in the streets and online?
3. Slim Jesus
He should not even exist in the music industry. Just stay in 2016.
4. Hating Feminism (I'm a little biased)
If you've ever read any of my articles you'll know that I believe that feminism should be something everyone should be educated on. News flash: It's equal rights for both genders. Be a feminist and be proud.
5. Stupid Dance Moves
The quan? Dab? Whip? It all needs to stop.
6. "Don't Express Your Opinion"
People seem to put other people down for the smallest things today — for expressing their opinion. This is America, if you're not hurting anyone
7. Harambe
He's a gorilla. 15,000 people voted for a dead gorilla to be in office. I think we drew the line awhile ago.
8. Instagram Stories
Stop copying Snapchat, you look dumb.
9. Distressed Jeans
This trend is starting to get old. Why would you buy jeans that have holes that run through half of the leg?
10. "I'm only doing this because they're doing it"
In today's society, expressing your opinion is okay. Do what you love not what society loves.
11. Construction
I am so tired of having to take detours because of construction.
12. Celebrating Holidays Early
Guys, it's not okay to start putting up your Christmas tree the day after Halloween. We still have Thanksgiving to celebrate!
13. Flipping the Water Bottle
The smallest things seem to amuse us.
14. Idolizing Harley Quinn and The Joker
They are not "relationship goals," It's an abusive relationship, you shouldn't want that.
15. Body Shaming
You could weigh 95 pounds or 200 pounds and you should still be loved. Society has these standards that people can wear this and that based off of weight and instead of taring each other down we should be building each up.
16. Romanticizing Depression
There is nothing romantic about suicide and depression and anxiety. They are real struggles that people wake up every morning with. There isn't much more to say than that it's not what the media portrays at all.
17. This article
Because we all know you won't look at this in 2017.
So here is to the last few weeks of 2016. Let's all cheer to what's ahead of us in 2017.
