As we enter 2016, we have noticed some very disturbing trends that have not gone away. It’s been over a year now of hearing the words “lit”, “watch me whip” or “YAAASSSS.” We are done with these overused annoying terms that are used constantly amongst teenagers. Please end them.

Savage- What does savage even mean? Whatever it is, I am done with it. Everyday I walk into school and my friend looks at me and says, “You are such a savage.” I have no idea what that means. Savage makes no sense and yet every human in our school seems to be a savage. It has to disappear, and soon.

Bye Felicia- Bye Felicia originally came from the film Friday starring Ice Cube in 1995. For some reason it became popular like last year. Why? I have never met someone named Felicia, so why would I say bye to someone named Felicia. It makes no sense.

Netflix and Chill- Ok, we all know what it actually means, so can we please stop hiding it beneath a streaming website. Netflix is a fantastic site, it shouldn’t be a cover for what people do under the covers.

Lit- “That’s so lit.” Is it on fire? Is it a flashlight? Is it that light that shines on your pizza in the oven? Then it ain’t lit.

Relationship Goals- “OMG, Sandy and Danny are like total relationship goals.” No they’re not, because no relationship is perfect. No friendship is perfect. No two people should make you feel like your relationship is any worse. If you are happy in your relationship and love the person you’re with, then that is all that matters. Do not compare yourself or your relationship with others. Your “goals” should be based off of what makes you happy, not what others are doing.

Dance Moves-  Gangnam style led the way for millions of boys to believe they can dance. I mean the whip, the nae nae, the dab, hotline bling, the purple elephant, the pumpkin squash, whatever it is. Goodbye.

One Direction- *preparing to offend half the school* I have never been more excited for something to end. Look, it’s not against anyone that’s a fan. They became famous for their looks, and they wouldn’t even be a band if it weren’t for Simon Cowell. They are a bunch of boys hungry for fame. People who are actually good singers deserve a chance in the spotlight. They had their turn, it’s time for someone new. No more boy bands, please.

Donald Trump- Does this need an explanation?

Memes– Ok. Some memes are fantastic. They are witty and hysterical. Some are just plain stupid. Let’s stop with the stupid ones.

Beauty Hacks- So we’ve all seen how flawless Kylie Jenner is and her perfect lips. Let’s try this year to not stick our lips into water bottles to look like her.

Bae- Calling your bf/gf “bae” may seem cool, but according to Urban Dictionary, Bae actually means poop in Danish. How romantic?

Fleek/Slay-  Can I not be reminded of the fact that you look so much better than me EVERY DAY.

Furry Snow Boots- Every time I see someone wearing these boots to school I wonder if they’re about to climb Mt. Everest after school.

YAAASSS- Okay we get it. You agree with me but is an all caps “yaass” necessary?

Squad- Posting a picture of you and two other friends is cool, but do you need to caption it “Squad” every time?

Saying Hashtags- You know those super awkward parents that say something really awkward and you’re super embarrassed by it? Okay, that’s like saying the WORD hashtag. Leave this in 2015 please.

Same- Drop your book on the ground? Same. Trip over a step? SAME. Sick of hearing the word “same” in reaction to everything you do? Same.
