While 2016 had a few good moments, looking back; 2016 wasn't as good to us as years past.

2016 Was Just Not Our Year

2016 has not been a good year. Through celebrity deaths, President Obama leaving the white house to more Kardashian drama, we can't help but to look back and think that this wasn't our year.

1. Chyna left Rob and took the baby. Tyga is the uncle of his own child, The Kardashians have us all mixed up.

From the Rob and Chyna drama, to Tyga being his own sons uncle. From the Kanye tour incident to Scott and Kourtney getting back together, we just can't keep our heads on straight anymore.

2. Too many celebrity deaths to count.

2016 has taken many famous faces from us. From Alan Rickman, David Bowie and Prince. To Carrie Fisher, George Michael and Florence Henderson, someone please make it stop.

3. President Obama, don't leave us please.

This years election was an "experience." From Trump's bashing to Hillary's emails, we had quite the election. But we ask you one thing Obama, please don't go.

4. Brangelina Broke up.

We've seen many celebrity break-ups throughout the years. But not only did this one take us by surprise, but we also lost part of our hope for true love. What happened!?

5. Why can't we just live in peace?

From shootings to protests, we just don't understand. Why can't we all just live in peace.


But some good things did happen...

1. The Cubs won the world series.

FLY THE W!!!!!! What else do we need to say?

2. Beyonce went on tour.

It's always a good year when Beyonce goes on tour, who doesn't want to see Queen B?

3. We have "Carpool Karaoke."

Sometimes we all need a pick-me up. If it wasn't for James Corden, who knows what we would do to cure our sad times.

4. We had the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.

But the real question is, How does Michael Phelps do it? Is Simone Biles the next Phelps? Can we be in the Olympics for napping?

5. Leonardo DiCaprio won an Oscar.

Our boy finally won an Oscar, we couldn't be more proud.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
