Good riddance to the worst year ever.

An Open Letter To 2016

Dear 2016,

I won't be missing you. At all. I can say, without a doubt, that you're officially on my shit list.

You started out so strong! I was able to score an awesome new job doing something I absolutely love while working with people I love, found a perfect new home in Cleveland, and was even able to score the perfect sitter for my 2-year-old. I was so ready for an amazing year. Then, as time went on, things went downhill a little bit. My 2-year-old started acting like a 2-year old, I had a miscarriage, and we elected Donald Trump to be our president. I can't even think about the people we lost this year- so many amazing people who had such a positive impact on the world.

So, here we are 2017. You're starting out strong. Maybe it's because I have a positive attitude? Maybe it's because I know I have to focus harder on making this year better? I really can't tell you what it is, but this year is looking pretty good! I mean, It's not even January 7 yet but I am going to do everything in my power to make this year the best yet.

Are you with me?

1. Why is Wilson Hall so complicated to navigate? Even as a senior, I still get lost in Wilson. As a freshman, I was warned about the unnecessary complexity of the building, was laughed at by upperclassman for my confused looks on the first day of school and walked and rewalked the whole hall before finding my classroom. #annoying.

What life would be like if the people were led by Queen B.

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a Miranda from Sex and the City, is running for governor of New York. I think that this would be the best decision that has been made in a while solely based off of the fact that almost no one knows New York like the cast of Sex and the City. This got me thinking about who else would be a good candidate to take over the city of dreams. Then I realized that Blair Waldorf, if she were a real person, would be my number one choice for governor. Here are five reasons why Queen B would be an excellent ruler.
