2016 was an exciting and interesting year. Shows were revived, long-standing championship droughts ended, our country made history for having an incredibly pathetic presidential election, video challenges continued to spread across social media, and of course the best memories of the year we created ourselves. Who else is looking forward to what 2017 will bring?

1. Cubs win the World Series for the first time in 108 years

2. "This Is Us" airs and becomes one of the best TV shows since "Parenthood"

3. "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" is released and Harry Potter fanatics finally get a glimpse of Harry's life after Hogwarts

4. The much anticipated "Gilmore Girls" Revival is released

5. The birth and death of "Pokemon Go"

6. Jane the Virgin is finally not a virgin (about time)

7. Cavs finally win the NBA title for the first time ever ending Cleveland's 52 year championship drought

8. Michael Phelps becomes the most decorated Olympian

9. "Fuller House" releases Seasons 1 and 2 and now we're all anxiously awaiting for Season 3

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
