As another year comes to an end, people begin to look back at their highs and lows of 2016. Trends and crazes are something unique with each year. It’s pretty cool to watch something blossom into a worldwide trend. When and how exactly do trends start? That’s a tough question to answer, but it’s amazing to look back and realize how many trends there were and how many we actually participated in. So, below is a list of the top 10 trends for 2016 that any basic white girl most likely participated in.

1. Oversized metallic balloons

What better way to celebrate a 21st birthday than with huge, gold balloons?

2. Chokers

When I was growing up, I used to rock the choker every day. Looking back at pictures of me, I remember thinking my tattoo choker was the dorkiest thing. Well, here I am, 12 years later, wearing them again.

3. Pool floaties

Girls lying out on giant blow up unicorns, pizzas or swans blew up my Instagram feed like crazy this summer. Somehow this became a huge craze. Will these floaties be making another appearance in 2017?


4. Attacking Instagram for copying Snapchat with Instagram stories, but eventually using it

Instagram got major heat from people when they added stories to their app. Today, more and more people are joining in and doing it. Maybe we’re just getting too lazy to open the Snapchat app.

5. Having a Calvin Klein matching bra and underwear set

I really appreciate this trend because these sets can be so comfy. But, don’t really understand why people want their Calvins to be seen when their wearing jeans. Interesting.

6. Watching and sharing food videos on Facebook

I am so guilty of doing this. I check the Tasty Facebook page hourly to see if they’ve posted anything. Plus, I follow five other food pages, so there are plenty of food videos on my newsfeed.


7. One-piece bathing suits

Just like the chokers, I used to wear these as a child. I never ever imagined them coming back in style. But, here we have Taylor Swift’s “squad” wearing them, so they are cool.


8. Bright, bold lips

Thank you Kylie Jenner for this trend. Ever since she created the lip kits, girls have been plumping their lips any way they can. Including, the Kyle Jenner Lip Challenge.


9. Turning cauliflower into everything

In 2016, a big revelation was cauliflower can actually be a delicious vegetable, once you turn it into a pizza crust or cauliflower nachos. Start googling those cauliflower recipes ladies because that means lower carbs!


10. Harambe

This Cincinnati Zoo Gorilla was a craze for everyone. He became instantly famous and has to be one of the biggest memes of 2016. It seemed like everything people were doing was “for Harambe”. We will miss you Harambe.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
