1. Excited

Who isn't always excited for the new year? Whether its excitement towards the upcoming 2016 presidential election, graduation, vacation or finding out which college you will attend, excitement is guaranteed.

2. Mournful

We lost so many inspirational people this year, from David Bowie to Debbie Reynolds. They have helped shape our past, present and future. And let's not forget about the death of our favorite Gorilla: Harambe.

3. Happy

There are a lot of reasons to be happy this year: Obama's last year in office, proving of Einstein's theory, the Hamilton Mixtape, the plethora of new movies that came out and Cub's winning the world series.

4. Proud

TEAM USA dominated the summer 2016 olympics in Rio. Such a proud moment for all the US citizens.

5. Anger

There was a lot of anger towards the terribleness of humanity. From the things Trump would say, to the Flint Michigan water crisis to the stripping of human rights in Aleppo, anger became second nature.

6. Insecure

How can you not feel insecure when the president-elect constantly objectifies women? Or when verbal abuse is seen on a daily basis? The answer is: you can't avoid feeling insecure.

7. Afraid

From the random clowns on college campus' to the thought of a Trump election: it all makes us afraid to think about.

8.Empathetic

The empathy we held with the Standing Rock group was astonishing. Millions of people helped to support the protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

9.Hopeful

We have had a lot of hope this year. For the majority of the year, I held the hope for the first female president and the optimism that everything will work out in the end.

10. Helpless

We all felt a sense of helplessness when seeing pictures and reading articles about the problems in Syria.

11. Grateful

At some point of 2016: we took help from others. Whether it be family, friends or random strangers: gratitude was present in our year.

12. Anxious

Need I say more? I have never felt more anxious than I felt on November 8, 2016.

13. Hurt

We have all been hurt to know that sexual assault is not taken seriously in this country. Rapists don't get enough jail time and we still focus on there accomplishments, then what they did. Hopefully that will change in 2017.

14. Motivated

Motivated to continue to decrease CO2 emissions, motivated to fix the problems Trump has created, motivated to create a better planet; I don't know about you, but I have never felt so motivated to make a difference than I did in 2016.

15. Confused

Brexit?

16. Overwhelmed

So many gun deaths and bombings all around the country. From hate crimes like in the Orlando nightclub to the bombings in Brussels, hopefully there will be less violence in the new year.
