As the year is coming to an end, the recurring memes I see online all have to do with how much this year sucked. This year, however, brought a lot of good things, we just have to switch the perspective. Here are nine things that did happen in 2016 and did make the year better.

1. Ryan Reynolds received a Hollywood star

And if you listened to his speech where he professed his undying love for Blake and his kids, your heart melted just as mine did. I know nothing is “perfect,” but just look at them.

2. Suicide squad was released

If you can look at me in the eyes and sincerely say the Joker and Harley Quinn aren’t the most fascinating couple, you’re lying.

3. A New iPhone came out

Considering I am finally getting rid of my 5s tells you I’m not as technologically advanced as most people—needless to say people freaked and got their rose gold whatevers, so I guess that’s something to celebrate (like y’all didn’t know a new one was coming out).

4. Leo got an Oscar

I’m just leaving this here.

5. The Cubs won!!

Regardless of which team you were rooting for, the fact that they waited 108 years for this win is just damn cool. What a well deserved title!

6. Pokemon Go

I never got into this phenomenon, but it’s pretty cool that our childhood was brought back.

7. New Harry Potter book and movie

This is for all my fellow fans, J.K. did it again. We needed her brilliant words to give us something to look forward to again.

8. The U.S. women’s gymnastic team won gold

After a summer of watching the final five conquer the floor, beam, bar, you name it, they struck gold and made the U.S. proud.8. Pokemon Go

9. Netflix update

As if our binge watching wasn’t bad enough, now Netflix came out with a way to download shows and watch them without Wi-Fi. Let’s ride.
