Let's leave these back in 2016, yeah?

Oh 2016. What a year.

Can you believe how much garbage went down within approximately 366 rotations of the Earth? 2016, although a great year in some respects, was a trash year in many other ways.

Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds died, the Zika Virus became a thing, and the Mannequin Challenge continued to be unoriginal—just to name a few of the terrible things to happen in 2016.

Join me as I narrow down the list and kvetch about the 16 worst things to happen in 2016.

1. The Mannequin Challenge

Dear God, I can’t even can’t how many times I watched a poor rendition of the Mannequin Challenge done at everyone’s Thanksgiving table. We get it. You think it’s funny to involve your whole family in a millennial trend. It’s not — it’s just unoriginal. Let’s leave this one in 2016. Sound good?

2. Lena Dunham

Can she just not? Miss Dunham is like the human version of a mosquito. She’s irritating, we don’t really know what her purpose is, and she just won’t go away. *Swat*

3. Flipping Water Bottles

Why is everyone so amazed at the fact that it’s possible to flip a water bottle 360 degrees? This isn’t that cool.

4. Vaping

“People who vape are so cool,” said no one ever.


5. Rob and Chyna

Ugh.

6. Over-drawn eyebrows

Eyebrows are supposed to look natural. When eyebrows look like giant bolded underscores hanging over your eye balls, it’s not cute. Make 2017 the year of natural brows.

7. Lace-up bodysuits

Basic. Basic. Basic. Why do you need a shoelace to keep your top together?

8. The No-Makeup look

Wear makeup, don’t wear makeup. I don’t care. But don’t consider yourself a hero because you decided to show the world what you really look like under all of those layers of foundation.

9. Social Justice Warriors

2016 was the year of the SJWs. Whiney whine whine—stay in 2016, please.

10. Floppy Felt Hats

Hear me out. Floppy hats are meant to be worn when it’s hot and sunny outside – presumably to block out the sun, right? Felt, however, is a material meant to be worn in the cold. Therefore, Floppy felt hats are kind of a paradox if you really think about it. Let’s leave this trend in 2016.

11. The use of the word ‘Bae’

I know you think it’s super original to post a picture with your significant other right in front of the Golden Gate Bridge and caption the photo “Bae Area,” but it’s not. Let’s refrain from using the word Bae in 2017.

12. Pokémon Go

Something about grown-up people chasing fictional characters around the city on their iPhones is unsettling. It was, and always will be weird.

12. Harambe's death


Rest in peace, dear Harambe.

14. Safe Spaces

Would you like a pacifier with that safe space? Please. No more of this in 2017.

15. Wedge Sneakers

It’s either wedges, or sneakers. Not both.

16. Rumors about Kimye getting a divorce

If you participated in spreading said rumors, we can no longer be friends. Kimye forever, okay?!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
