2016 was full of ups and downs, but on the bright side, we had the Internet to keep us on our toes. Here are the 10 best internet moments of 2016!


1. Damn, Daniel

Yes, this got old very quickly, but it was pretty amazing the first couple times you watched it. It is a classic 2016 internet moment, whether you love it or hate it.


2. Mr. Krabs Blur

There were endless Spongebob memes this year, but the Mr. Krabs one takes the cake.



3. Evil Kermit

Evil Kermit will never get old because it's hilarious and very very true.



4. Joe Biden Memes

What better way to say goodbye to our current president and vice president then to make them into a meme. Joe Biden memes will always be a classic moment of 2016.


5. Leonardo DiCaprio finally wins an Oscar

This moment almost broke the Internet. Do you know how long this man waited for this moment?! It is truly an unforgettable moment.



6. Harambe

The ape that will live in our hearts forever. Harambe was unfortunately killed this year, but the Internet made sure we would never forget him. RIP Harambe.



7. #KimExposedTaylor

Nothing was more jaw-dropping than when Kim showed the receipts of what really went down during Taylor and Kanye's conversation over his controversial music video for "Famous."



8. The Mannequin Challenge

For some reason, watching people pose completely still with "Crowd Pleaser" playing in the background was so fascinating to watch.



9. Bottle Flipping

Why was this a thing? Who knows. Why was it always entertaining? No one knows.



9. Arthur Fist

Bringing back Arthur with this hilarious meme. It was relatable and never got old.



10. Running Man Challenge

Everyone and their mother did this challenge, which is probably why it got old really quick. It is still an iconic Internet moment of 2016, even if the song "My Boo" is now ruined forever.



There you have it, the best internet moments of 2016. Yes, there were way more than 10 moments but these are the ones I found the best. Hope you enjoyed!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
