1. Joe Biden

Obviously. The VP made us all giggle and reminisce on the goodness of the White House in 2016. Let's take a moment to appreciate Mr. Biden and his "shenanigans" with President Obama.

2. Miley and Liam are back together

I don't even care that much about this relationship, but LOOK! I'm glad Miley seems happy. She deserves the world.

3. Pokémon Go

This made kids, teens, and adults alike very happy this year. I remember the joy on a lot of people's faces when they caught their favorite Pokémon on the streets. There was even a huge gathering in my city for players to hunt for Pokémon together. Yay for building communities and friendships!

4. Reynolds/Lively clan at the Walk of Fame

This was everything. Look at little James! Look at Blake Lively! Sorry. This just warmed my cold heart.

5. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Onward with the wizarding world! HP fans were so excited for this, and from what I've read/seen, it seems like they weren't disappointed.

2016 was kind of a mess in some regards, but try to remember some of the happiness that came from it! Let's push forward to 2017.

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

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.
