2016 was full of ups and downs, but on the bright side, we had the Internet to keep us on our toes. Here are the 10 best internet moments of 2016!


1. Damn, Daniel

Yes, this got old very quickly, but it was pretty amazing the first couple times you watched it. It is a classic 2016 internet moment, whether you love it or hate it.


2. Mr. Krabs Blur

There were endless Spongebob memes this year, but the Mr. Krabs one takes the cake.



3. Evil Kermit

Evil Kermit will never get old because it's hilarious and very very true.



4. Joe Biden Memes

What better way to say goodbye to our current president and vice president then to make them into a meme. Joe Biden memes will always be a classic moment of 2016.


5. Leonardo DiCaprio finally wins an Oscar

This moment almost broke the Internet. Do you know how long this man waited for this moment?! It is truly an unforgettable moment.



6. Harambe

The ape that will live in our hearts forever. Harambe was unfortunately killed this year, but the Internet made sure we would never forget him. RIP Harambe.



7. #KimExposedTaylor

Nothing was more jaw-dropping than when Kim showed the receipts of what really went down during Taylor and Kanye's conversation over his controversial music video for "Famous."



8. The Mannequin Challenge

For some reason, watching people pose completely still with "Crowd Pleaser" playing in the background was so fascinating to watch.



9. Bottle Flipping

Why was this a thing? Who knows. Why was it always entertaining? No one knows.



9. Arthur Fist

Bringing back Arthur with this hilarious meme. It was relatable and never got old.



10. Running Man Challenge

Everyone and their mother did this challenge, which is probably why it got old really quick. It is still an iconic Internet moment of 2016, even if the song "My Boo" is now ruined forever.



There you have it, the best internet moments of 2016. Yes, there were way more than 10 moments but these are the ones I found the best. Hope you enjoyed!

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.
