The Best (and Worst) Moments of 2016

Goodbye, 2016.

The Best (and Worst) Moments of 2016
www.abcnews.go.com

Well, 2016 is coming to an end. Another year of broken new year resolutions. Another year of new television shows. Another year of ridiculous trends. Another year of absolutely incredible music. Another year of struggles and heartbreak. Another year of getting back up and living. I have captured what I think are the best and worst moments of 2016 as a prelude to the new year.

1. Gilmore Girls revival

The Gilmore Girls revival was for sure one of the best moments of 2016. Many missed Stars Hollow, the wittiness of Rory and the love of Lorelei.

2. The election

Best or worst moment/event of 2016? That is really for you decide but it was too controversial and important to not put on the list.

3. Broncos winning the Super Bowl

The worst. Because who actually likes the Broncos?

4. JuJu On That Beat

It was the best for awhile because it was funny watching thousands of renditions trend on Twitter and go viral but after the tenth time and your own attempt it got really annoying...which sadly makes it one of the worst trends of 2016.

5. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Such an incredible movie and it brought Potterheads and Hogwarts fans much joy.

6. Mannequin Challenge

This was one of the best moments because it was so fun to watch people's different take on the mannequin challenge and the song Black Beatles will be on people's playlist forever.

7. Lemonade

It dropped in April and it triggered a musical frenzy. One of the best albums of 2016. Every track and the visual album caused even Beyoncé haters to show some love for the singer.

8. Leo got his Oscar

Leonardo DiCaprio getting his Oscar is one of the best moments of 2016! It finally happened and his speech did not disappoint. You go, Leo!

9. Facebook Live

One of the best moments of 2016 because it is a whole new way of interacting with your Facebook friends. A lot of the videos that I have seen are funny and enjoyable.

10. Alan Rickman's death

One of the worst moments. Everybody will remember professor Severus Snape forever. RIP.

11. Brangelina break-up

Best or worst? Once again, you decide but for some, love is forever broken and one of the most dynamic duo in Hollywood disappoints many.

12. Kardashian, West and Swift drama

Maybe one of the best just because it was pure entertainment. The feud between them all, the not-so-subtle tweets and the audio recording revealed on snapchat was just too incredible to be real.

13. Baby Dream

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian's baby is cute but the name is just...interesting? Best or worst either way a moment we must remember of 2016.

14. The 2016 Summer Olympics

One of the best for sure! The summer Olympics are always a fun time to watch with the family, even with the Ryan Lochte drama.

15. Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After

Sadly, this was one of the worst moments of 2016, as this was probably the worst show of the 21st century.

Well, fifteen isn't quite enough. A lot happened in 2016 and I know more will happen in 2017. Bring on the new year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
