It's the start of a new year and the start of a new you! Just kidding about the second part, but thank goodness 2016 is over, am I right? As Winter Break comes to an end and we return to the real world, let's take a quick moment to reflect on the final weeks (and losses) of this past year. Here are a few funny things overheard over the break to help you start off your spring semester with a laugh.
1. "They took the Jimmy Neutron Movie off Netflix so my break was ruined pretty quickly."
2. "All these older guys were so much hotter in high school when they didn't know I existed. Now when I match with them on Bumble, it's just creepy."
3. "I waited till January 1 to turn my application in because 2016 was clearly cursed."
4. "Concept for a game show: successfully explaining WestWorld to your mom."
5. "I connected my Bumble to my Spotify and it says my top artist is Hannah Montana. Can't wait to see the flies this attracts."
6. "Both my roommates got boyfriends over Christmas break and all I got was drunk."
7. "I grew my beard out so long that food started getting stuck in it. I didn't go on any dates needless to say."
8. "Did you know Pitbull is paid by Florida to talk about Miami? Is any love true anymore?
9. "'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, the AC was running, cause we live in the South."
10. "How was my love life over break? I was texting a guy and he suddenly said, 'I'll talk to you later. Merry Christmas.' It was the 20th."
11. "What sounds more appealing for New Year's Eve? FOMO at home or getting drenched with champagne while everyone around me makes out?"
12. "I think that after this year we can only go up, but I learned midway through 2016 to not assume things can't get worse."
13. "A girl from my high school that identified as a lesbian up until 2016 got engaged to a guy for Christmas this year. Meanwhile, I got a boyfriend pillow."
14. "Did you picnik that picture? You still use picnik? Picnik still exists?"
15. "If you're worried about not getting a New Year's kiss, just remember that Valentine's Day is only 45 days away and you'll probably be alone for that too."
16. "He kissed me then immediately put dip in his mouth. It was still better than 2016."
17. "I met a guy I liked a lot but he was so much taller than me that he couldn't hear what I was saying half the time."
18. "Two guys gunned for me at midnight. It messed up my Snapchat."
19. "People need to cut it out with the 'this is MY YEAR' crap. You sucked last year, you're going to suck this year too."
20. "Publix had 2017 shot glasses on sale for 99 cents. I bought three because this is going to be my year."
Get out there and kick 2017's butt. You've got this!
