Finishing The Year Strong

Hillary losing was the highlight of the year

Finishing The Year Strong

2016 is coming to an end and boy oh boy has it been a wild year. It did not get that crazy till the end of the year. There has been many exciting and not so exciting moments that have occurred throughout, so to end on a good note let us reflect on some of the positives.

Hillary Lost

I am not a Trump supporter, but watching Hillary Clinton lose in such a way was glorious. On November 8th, observing Hillary continue to lose state after state put the biggest smile on my face and the warmest joy in my heart. To be fair, I will critique Trump when I need to and give credit where credit is due.

CUBS WIN!!!

The Chicago Cubs won the World Series! The Cubs rallied back against the Cleveland Indians to win game seven of the 2016 World Series, ending a 107 year drought. I am a Yankee fan, but this was exciting for me. Baseball is the greatest sport out there and to see it played in such a way was incredible. A historical event for sure.

Hillary Lost

Yes I am going to mention it again, because it was just that amazing. Losing in 2008 in the primaries and then again this year just puts a smile on your face.

RIO 2016

The Olympics this year was entertaining despite being in a poorly ran country and once again the good ole U.S. of A. showcased their dominance by winning the most medals. Winning is one of America's favorite hobbies.

Jill Stein embarrassed herself...again

The democrats are not able to accept the fact that Hillary was an awful candidate. She lost due to her own personal character alongside with how the left tends to treat others that disagree with them (the group that preaches tolerance is actually incredibly intolerant). So Jill stein, leader of the anti-science Green Party, lead a recount effort in hopes that there was voter fraud and that Hillary actually won. Well, turns out Trump actually gained slightly more votes than what was previously counted. Fantastic.

The Democrats Lost

Not only did Hillary lose but the democrats lost. Republicans now control the house and senate. More governors are now republican and the democrats lost control of many state legislatures. It is a great time to be american. We are set to get back on the right track and undo all of Obama's terrible legacy.

Hillary Lost

December 19th is the day in which the electors cast their votes for who they believe should be the next president. Turns out Hillary had more faithless electors than any presidential nominee in the last 100 years. She made history!

Overall I would have to say that 2016 turned out to be a pretty decent year. There were many ups and downs along the way but there was a strong finish. With all that has happened this year, I am excited about what 2017 will hold. God Bless America!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
