15 Things That Need To Be Left In 2016
Ryan Parker

It's safe to say that 2016 was an eventful year. We found out Donald Trump will be our next president, our country mourned the death of a gorilla and the Kardashian family got even more complicated. Throughout this historical year, there are plenty of things we would like to leave behind as we move forward to 2017.

1. Dabbing

Ah, yes. The dance move that had everyone smelling their armpits.


2. Bottle Flipping

When technology becomes boring, a water bottle becomes the best source of entertainment.


3. The Running Man Challenge

I'm still wondering how "My Boo" by Ghost Town's DJ became popular again?


4. The Mannequin Challenge

Congratulations! You can hold a random pose for a long period of time! Your mother must be so proud.

5. "Damn Daniel!"

I have yet to figure out who this guy is and why we are so interested in his white shoes?


6. Pokemon Go

There's never been a time that nostalgia caused so many wrecks and injuries.

7. Cupping

It's only cute on Michael Phelps.

8. "JuJu On That Beat"

I swear, if I have to hear that song one more time...

9. Harambe Memes

First, we mourned the loss of the gorilla. Now, we make fun of the gorilla. Makes complete sense.


10. Pepe the Frog

All his memes are rude and crude. Besides, I find him very creepy.

11. All the Kardashian drama

We don't care that Kylie's dating Tyga, who has a baby with Black Chyna, who's having Rob Kardashians baby, who's little sister is Kylie. WE DON'T CARE.

12. Unicorn everything

Unicorns are cute when you're five... not 25.

13. Makeup Tutorials using weird items...

I really hope you don't go out in public wearing condiments as makeup.

14. Election drama.

Everyone became political science majors in 2016.

15. The Clowns

Does anyone else remember when killer clowns invaded the world than magically disappeared after Halloween? Yeah, me either.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
