Bad Year To A Good Year

End of the Grieving Year

20
Bad Year To A Good Year
Dreamstrime

So the year has come to an end, and everyone can breathe a tiny bit easier. This year has actually been the worst possible year considering the deaths. 2017 is closing in fast so I can finally say goodbye to this crappy year and say hello to a year that I hope will be a whole lot better.

Now before anyone says anything, this isn't about the election. To be honest we've voted for some bad presidents in the past. But this article is about everyone and all the bad things that have happened this year. Seriously, we've had youtubers, actors, singers and wrestlers die. This year to me has just been one big grieving time to remember those who've passed. Literally I thought we were done until Carrie Fisher died. Who's next, Betty White?

Seriously the two that impacted me the most was Christina Grimmie and Prince. Christina shocked me since she was a contestant on The Voice and a YouTuber, and when she was murdered it was after her concert in Orlando. Really? She was one of those people who wanted to make a difference. Prince was Prince. Seriously he is a legend of music. I literally wanted him to do at least one more tour. He was my mother's favorite person in the world. I've always wanted to know why he was so popular because everyone knew him, even if I've never heard his music.

Any possible way you think about this year, it's been nothing but death. 2017, however, I sincerely hope that this year is the birth of kids who will become legends in the world and a celebration of love, life, friendship, and affection. I hope 2017 is a time for rebuilding, redesign and birth of a new world so we can move on with all of the crap that has happened over this year. I can honestly say everything has been severely dark and sad. Thanks for nothing, 2016, except heartbreak torment and grieving. So in the end, 2016 is going to be gone soon so I'll ask 2017 to please, and I'm begging you, to be great for everyone and everything, please. Cause we can't have another year like this. Seriously we cannot have another year like this one since it was that dang terrible.

Goodbye bad year and hello to a great one.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
