Looking back on 2016 feels like looking back on a dream, so many crazy things happened this year that nobody expected.

With 2017 just around the corner, people are eager to get out of “the year of realizing things” dubbed by Kylie Jenner. It is nice to look back on the wild ride that is 2016. Pokémon in real life, killer clowns, the election craze, and the deletion of a successful and well known social media app, Vine. Well maybe not that nice.

With New Year’s comes resolutions, and even though most will probably be broken within the first week, it is still a tradition to make them.

“My New Year’s resolution is to live a healthier life style,” said Brazil Kaleem, sophomore.

According to the University of Scranton’s Journal of Clinical Psychology, losing weight was the number one resolution going into 2016, while living healthier rested at number five. Eighty percent of Americans who make these resolutions do not stick with them.

“My New Year’s resolution this year will be just to enjoy life the most I can,” said junior Cameron Visconti.

The same study revealed enjoying life to the fullest was fourth on last year’s list.

The other top resolutions were saving money, getting organized, and learning new things. All of those have managed to be in the top ten in the years before; however, far fewer people actually follow through with their resolutions than the number who make them.

Here is to hoping that 2017 does not feel like a movie with the most ridiculous plot ever. Here is to “Auld Lang Syne” and a new year.
