So 2016 is finally over. Many people would agree that it was the worst year in a while, but that's all behind us now, right? Well just in case you would like a little more security in this upcoming year, let's hope this doesn't jinx it, here are a few ways you can help make the most of 2017. Goodbye hellscape that was 2016, hello blank slate.

1. Find a Hobby

Stop being so lazy all of the time. Maybe if you found a way to occupy your time, you won't have a chance to complain about how boring the year is. Bum.

2. Try Studying

Disappointed about that C you made last semester? Maybe if you would study instead of just complaining for three hours about all of the homework and test you have, just maybe, you would do better in class.

3. Practice Frugality

Make dinner at home for once, just try it for a week and see how much money you save. Stop going to Sonic every day; you hate you, I hate you, but most importantly, your wallet hates you.

4. Make Friends

If you're tired of having nothing to do and of avoiding classmates like plague, try making some friends. The best way to cure boredom is by sucking someone else into your own boredom.

5. Look for a Job

Don't have any money? Have mom and dad cut you off? There are plenty of ways to make money by working for someone! It's called a job. Get one... Bum.

6. Stop Complaining

Are you a whiner? Odds are you probably are if you're in college. Maybe try working on that, a good outlook makes a huge difference. When things go bad it's probably your fault, own it and stop blaming the year.

7. Be Realistic

The best way to avoid being let down is to lower your expectations. It's a new year, not a Renaissance of peace and happiness. Just hope for better than 2016 and you'll probably be fine.
