2014: A Review | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Oh 2014, what a year you were. Kim K. was busy breaking the internet, Taylor Swift was shaking it off, everyone was taking selfies, and pizza was winning over everyone's heart. Here are 14 things that made their claim to fame over this past year. 

1. Quizzes. Buzzfeed created a new trend, a monster perhaps. Quizzes tell us where we should live, who we'd be in our favorite series, and what type of food we are. 

2. Selfies. Sure, they didn't start in 2014 but the star-studded Oscar selfie sent 2014 in the right direction. 

3. Netflix. Everyone was binge-watching something this year or buying t-shirts proclaiming that they were in a relationship with Netflix.

4. Basic Bitches. Pumpkin spice lattes, leggings, infinity scarves, plaid and uggs.

5. The Butt. My anaconda don't understand why the butt is back, but it is. Thank you J-Lo, Iggy, and Nikki. 

6. Taylor Swift. You want to hate her, but you know that you catch yourself singing "Shake it Off" and "Blank Space." 

7. Tattoos. Whether it be a sugar skull, an arrow, or an infinity sign...tattoos are definitely in. 

8. Frozen. Good lord, let it go already.

9. Instagram. Take 20 pictures to get the right lighting, then spend 30 minutes editing and finding the perfect filter. 

10. Lip-syncing in Cars. Why is that so popular?

11. Pizza. From Buzzfeed's "What Kind of Pizza Addict Are You" quiz to Miley Cyrus getting a tattoo of pizza on her finger... it is safe to say that Pizza is the new craze.

12. Healthy Lifestyles. I'm sure people were always in to being healthy, but this year everyone blogged and posted it to Instagram.

13. Cats. I don't get it... they're an animal that poops in a box.

14. List Articles. Guilty as charged.

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!

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.
