To put it nicely, 2016 was a strange year. One filled with tragedy, comedy, and overall very strange events. Of course, we could always count on the internet to take these events to the next level. Here are some of the most memorable:

1. Dabbing.

Cam Newton started it and the world followed.

2. Mannequin challenge.

Ahh, the Harlem Shake of 2016, because why wouldn't standing in a group of people holding an awkward position for a long time be fun?

3. Harambe.

The death of Harambe brought about a lot of backlash from the internet and quite a lot of memes.

4. The 2016 Election in general.

The 2016 election seemed to be the only thing being talked about and the internet played a huge role in that.

5. Joe Biden Memes.

Trump's win in the 2016 election brought some rather funny and kinda adorable Joe Biden memes. Proving once again, this is one of the silliest VPs of all time.


6. Michael Phelps Memes.

The Olympics were amazing and so is this face that Michael Phelps made that took the internet by storm.


7. Evil Kermit Memes.

This image of Evil Kermit brought about a sensation of internet memes that were not only funny, but also oh so relatable.

8. Pokemon Go.

To be honest, I'm still not sure what it is, but I do know that the internet was obsessed with it and I saw multitudes of people walking around/ running trying to catch their pokemon.

2016 was a strange year. Sure, it had its funny moments, but Im happy to say goodbye 2016 and hello to 2017 and all of its internet sensations.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
