The Best (and Worst) Moments of 2016

Goodbye, 2016.

Well, 2016 is coming to an end. Another year of broken new year resolutions. Another year of new television shows. Another year of ridiculous trends. Another year of absolutely incredible music. Another year of struggles and heartbreak. Another year of getting back up and living. I have captured what I think are the best and worst moments of 2016 as a prelude to the new year.

1. Gilmore Girls revival

The Gilmore Girls revival was for sure one of the best moments of 2016. Many missed Stars Hollow, the wittiness of Rory and the love of Lorelei.

2. The election

Best or worst moment/event of 2016? That is really for you decide but it was too controversial and important to not put on the list.

3. Broncos winning the Super Bowl

The worst. Because who actually likes the Broncos?

4. JuJu On That Beat

It was the best for awhile because it was funny watching thousands of renditions trend on Twitter and go viral but after the tenth time and your own attempt it got really annoying...which sadly makes it one of the worst trends of 2016.

5. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Such an incredible movie and it brought Potterheads and Hogwarts fans much joy.

6. Mannequin Challenge

This was one of the best moments because it was so fun to watch people's different take on the mannequin challenge and the song Black Beatles will be on people's playlist forever.

7. Lemonade

It dropped in April and it triggered a musical frenzy. One of the best albums of 2016. Every track and the visual album caused even Beyoncé haters to show some love for the singer.

8. Leo got his Oscar

Leonardo DiCaprio getting his Oscar is one of the best moments of 2016! It finally happened and his speech did not disappoint. You go, Leo!

9. Facebook Live

One of the best moments of 2016 because it is a whole new way of interacting with your Facebook friends. A lot of the videos that I have seen are funny and enjoyable.

10. Alan Rickman's death

One of the worst moments. Everybody will remember professor Severus Snape forever. RIP.

11. Brangelina break-up

Best or worst? Once again, you decide but for some, love is forever broken and one of the most dynamic duo in Hollywood disappoints many.

12. Kardashian, West and Swift drama

Maybe one of the best just because it was pure entertainment. The feud between them all, the not-so-subtle tweets and the audio recording revealed on snapchat was just too incredible to be real.

13. Baby Dream

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian's baby is cute but the name is just...interesting? Best or worst either way a moment we must remember of 2016.

14. The 2016 Summer Olympics

One of the best for sure! The summer Olympics are always a fun time to watch with the family, even with the Ryan Lochte drama.

15. Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After

Sadly, this was one of the worst moments of 2016, as this was probably the worst show of the 21st century.

Well, fifteen isn't quite enough. A lot happened in 2016 and I know more will happen in 2017. Bring on the new year.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
