35 Things That Should Have Been Left In 2016

I know we're already almost done with the first month of 2017, but I can't help but reconsider some things that I just wish would have stayed in 2016. There are just some things that need to go. Whether they're fads, memes, outfit trends, songs, makeup tricks, etc., I need them to go. 2016 was bad enough. I can't have any of these things continuing on into the remainder of 2017. It's a new year everyone, let's leave these bad habits behind. I'm begging you.

1. "Anotha one"

2. The song "Caroline"

3. Clowns causing way too many problems

4. Hover boards

5. Becoming vegan/vegetarian/gluten free because it's trendy

6. Terrorism

7. Evil Kermit

8. Emoji clothing, pillows, etc.

9. Overreacting to everything

10. Fur nails

11. Overdone eyebrows

12. Pokemon Go

13. Harley Quinn costumes

14. Instagram stories

15. Harambe

16. Joe Biden memes

17. My favorite celebrities dying

18. "Rain drop, drop top"

19. Any post with this caption honestly

20. Those "An Open Letter To The Boy Who..." articles

21. The Mannequin Challenge

22. Rob and Chyna beef

23. Being overly obsessed with mermaids

24. Drawing on your freckles

25. 100 coats of "whatever"

26. Saying "All Lives Matter" in response to "Black Lives Matter"

27. Girls overemphasizing how much black they have in their closets

28. Celebrities promoting weird teas

29. The Instagram caption: "The happiest of hours with this one"

30. Thinking it's trendy to be sad and hating your life

31. Wedge sneakers

32. Wearing hip glasses that don't have prescription lens in them (why are we doing this again?)

33. Juju On That Beat

34. Graphic tees that you see on a 13-year-old Tumblr with awful quotes like "not cute just psycho" or something with a pizza on it


35. Arguing whether pineapple should or shouldn't be on pizza

AI music threatens creativity

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.
