5 Things 2016 Taught Me

Well we are one week into the New Year and I haven’t just yet learned that much in this year, mainly because it’s only a week into the year. So I just want to tell people what I learned in the year 2016.

1: No Matter How Many Heroes You Lose, New Ones Will Always Be Born


So many great heroes of the media passed away last year, and while many people (including me) were crying. A few people pointed out that while we were losing stars we could have had new ones born and if they grow up knowing that can reach for the stars and maybe be the next great star.

2: Shitty people may win now but they won’t win later it life.


2016 blessed us with the Alt-Right. And by blessed, I mean in the way that all your teachers give you Fs and kick you out of the school because you went to the bathroom at your own home not during school hours. Don't try to make them look amazing like the rest of the world. They are awful people.

3: Friends from the Internet are Pretty Amazing.


It's really hard for me to make friends in the "real" world, however when I'm online I oddly come out of my shell easier and can make many different friends. They support me to reach my dreams and don't tell me I can't reach at times, and aren't afraid to help you when you are in need.

4: White People Still Suck


For the sixth year that I really started wanting to learn from the world, I just learn white people still disappoint.

5: Memes will Never Die

We are Number One. Harambe. The Bee Movie. You name is everything can be a meme and memes are a blessing and will always make your day. Here is your final blessing of the day.

I Hope what I learned helps you, and I hope you have an amazing 2017

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.

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.

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.
