2016 is wrapping up, and I think we can all say that no one is really sad to see it go. However, there were still some good aspects about it.
1. We got a new Harry Potter World book && movie
(and it looks like we'll be getting some more)
2. We got Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to hold us over until Episode 8
3. Honestly, we had a lot of good movies this year. Finding Dory, Deadpool, Zootopia, I could go on. Hollywood had a pretty decent year.
4. Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge? Because so many participated and donated, scientists were able to find the gene responsible for ALS. Which means they're one step closer to a cure.
5. Giant Panda numbers have increased, which means they are no longer an endangered species
(Manatee numbers have also increased so much, that they too are no longer endangered)
6. Leo finally won that Oscar
Honestly, it's not that hard to find some good in this world. You just have to be willing to look for it, or just be it yourself. 2016 may or may not have been crummy, but that's okay.
As cliche and old as it may be, 2017 will be a new year for new things. A fresh slate for all of us.
