Well, we made it through another year of laughs, heartbreaks, and memories we cannot forget. Whether your year had many ups or many downs, leave behind those bad habits and continue with the good. Here are some things that must STAY in 2015:
HOVERBOARDS
[GASPS.] How can I expect you to forget your new favoriteChristmas present?! Well, it is easy when you look as ridiculous as the dinosaur in the gif above. Not only do you look ridiculous riding one of those things, they are super dangerous. Do some research -- this thing has injured many people and has broken TONS of furniture.
DJ KHALEDS KEYS TO SUCCESS
If I hear one more person say "They don't want you to __" I will go absolutely insane. Please make these Snapchats stop. It has gone so far that Snapchat decided to add a filter of Dj Khaled saying "another one" on Christmas day. This must end.
BAD GRADES
As the years go by, the classes you take will only get more difficult. Don't think that's possible? Try taking BSTAT your freshman year of College. College is hard -- very hard -- but fear not: coffee and your friends will support you when you're up at 4 am studying, crying, having mini panic attacks... you know, the usual. Let 2016 be the year to make all those long nights successful, because nothing feels better than straight A's... or a least straight B's.
ACCEPTING THE HOOK-UP CULTURE
UH, YES IT IS. Our society needs to stop listening to Hollywood and the media. We should not accept anything less than what we are worth. I have found myself constantly listening to my friends complaining about a guy they are "talking to" or "exclusive with." What is exclusive? Oh, it basically means give all of you to a guy while he says "he is not ready for a relationship." It means no dates, no gifts, no meeting their family, but you can't see anyone else. Not only should you not be sleeping with a guy unless he is meeting your expectations mentally, you should not be sleeping with a guy unless YOU are ready to do so. I always hear girls say that they are fine with sleeping with "him," and then the next day, they are crying about seeing "him" taking to another girl on a date. Monogamy is real -- and you deserve it. Please let 2016 be the year that destroys the "hook-up culture," because to be honest, it's gross. And slightly pathetic.
TEXTING AT THE DINNER TABLE
Lets be honest -- you spent more time on your phone in 2015 than you did anything else. We are constantly on our phones, and when we are not, we are staring at the top of someone else's head who is texting. Face-to-face interaction is the most special kind of communication people can have. Stop checking every single social media app on your phone all the time. Who cares what your best friend's ex-boyfriends hot sister is doing? Put down the phone and look at the person right in front of you. Make this a habit in 2016.
Let's keep these things:
The laughs, good friends, loved ones, the effort, and the passion to apply to the internship of your dreams for the seventh time. Lastly, and more importantly, remember to have a...
