Now that 2017 is here, we may be thinking "wow NOTHING good happened in 2016, this year is going to be SO, SO much better." Girl, that's just not true. Yes, 2016 wasn't one of the greatest years, but good things did happen. So before you go around exiling 2016, feel free to look back and accept some of the good, from one of the worst years known to man.

Notable TV Shows in 2016:

  • Season 6 Game of Thrones
  • Fuller House season 1 AND 2
  • Gilmore Girls
  • STRANGER THINGS
  • SNL’s fantastic humor during the ENTIRE election season (let’s be real it kept us feeling sane)
  • West World
  • The Crown (GOD SAVE THE QUEEN ugh so great)
  • American Horror Story: Roanoke (what a season, every Wednesday I was SO READY)

Notable Movies in 2016:

  • Deadpool
  • Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
  • Finding Dory
  • Captain America Civil War
  • Suicide Squad
  • Ghostbusters: Answer the Call
  • DOCTOR STRANGE
  • MOANA

Notable Music in 2016:

  • LEMONADE (bless up)
  • Green Day’s "Revolution Radio" (it's LITERALLY the 2k16 version of American Idiot and makes me SO HAPPY)
  • Frank Ocean’s "Blonde"
  • P!ATD “Death of Bachelor” (which made us all feel SO smooth, ugh so good.)
  • Sia’s “This is Acting”
  • The Suicide Squad Soundtrack (Which is the most badass soundtrack to ever exist)
  • Hamilton Mixtape (YAS)
  • Life of Pablo..(i don't think I need to say his name, but incase you live under a rock KAYNE)

Other Notable Events that Occurred during 2016:

  • Leonardo DiCaprio WON HIS OSCAR
  • President Obama and VP Biden bro memes, because we love them so much
  • All summer long the world came together as one with Pokémon Go’s release
  • VIVA LA PLUTO WE GOT A NEW PICTURE OF PLUTO AND IT MADE US ALL HAPPY

  • NASA released Juno (a spacecraft) and it entered orbit around Jupiter!!
  • 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio
  • Two paintings by the only Vincent Van Gough, that were previously stolen back in 2002 were recovered on September 30th.
2016 was definitely a year for the history books, but it wasn't all bad. So let's hope that 2017 has double, even triple the happy.

Happy New Year!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
