Let's all face it: 2016 was the worst year ever and we should all just forget it ever happened. From the whole country mourning over a gorilla that was slain at the Cincinnati Zoo to the weirdest presidential election ever, we can all agree 2016 wasn't the hottest. There's literally no way to go but up in 2017, and below are some reasons to slay this year.

1. Glow up on that boy who dumped you!! Make him wish he had stuck around.

2. Love yourself because baby doll, no one will until you can.

3. Hydrate yourself. Water works wonders... trust me on this.

4. Learn how make your eyeliner so sharp it could kill a man.

5. There's not such a thing as "too much highlighter". SPARKLE KWEEN!

6. The world is yours, so go after what you deserve

7. Stop worrying what others think about you. Their opinion really doesn't matter.

8. Get a nice cleanser for your face. You'll thank me later for this one.

9. Focus in school/work. Hard work pays off in the long run.

10. Have fun and don't worry about too much!

So there you have it folks! Trust me, just a few minor changes to our mindset of 2017 will allow you to have one hell of a kick-ass year. I know 2016 was the year for realizing things, but I'm telling you this is the year for doing those things!!
