8 Things I Want To Leave In 2016

New year, new everything - please.

It's hard to believe that it's the end of 2016. It flew by, and yet so much happened! While some of 2016 we can't leave behind, there are some things I wouldn't mind not seeing in 2017.

1. Cheating

Can everyone just agree to stop messing with other people's feelings and hearts and stuff and just keep it real? If you no longer get that spark with your significant other, want to hook-up with someone else, or just can't stay committed, don't get involved with someone and make them feel like they mean something to you. Communicate, be honest, and stop cheating, please. Save us all the heartbreak.

2. "Bae"

While we're on the subject of relationships, let's leave this term of endearment and bring back the "b" back to the word...babe.

3. "Lit"

In fact, let's just leave any of these terms in 2016.

4. Chip Readers

I get the idea, but do the machines have to be so obnoxious and mean sounding? I don't keep my card in long enough - waa, waa, waa. I keep my card in too long, the machine's buzzing at me again - waa, waa, waa. Not to mention the fact that the chip reader doesn't work half the time, and you have to swipe anyways. *shoulder shrug*

5. Pokémon Go

I totally grew up watching and playing Pokémon with my little brother. In fact, I think we could probably find all of our cards somewhere if we looked hard enough. I'm tired of having to drive 10 mph down Santa Fe so my friends can hit all the Pokéstops and gyms.

6. Facebook Live

The notifications that "(insert name of someone I don't even speak to but am Facebook friends with) is live now!" need to stop. Tell me how to turn these notifications off without having to dig into 12,274 options, and I'll let you carry it into 2017.

7. Mannequin Challenge

"Black Beatles" is officially ruined.

8. Any toxic relationship

Whether you had a tough split with your boyfriend who you thought was "the one" or you just fell off with a close friend, shrug it off and leave them in 2016. Surround yourself with positive, supportive people in 2017 who want what's best for you and motivate you to do better.

See ya later, 2016!

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.
