Best! (and worst...) of 2013

People magazine, along with various other blogs, tv shows, etc., are in end of the year mode- as it is very soon. So I, Yab, have compiled a list of my worst and best of 2013. This will include my life, and blog, as well as popular culture in the united states of america.

Best
Hands down winner of 2013's best: J. Law.
I just love you.

 

 

Orange is the New Black
I waited to long to do a post about how amazing this show is. If you haven't seen it, go. watch. now. Netflix. GO.

Haim
I love girl rock. I love girls that rock. I love Haim. Meeting them was a 2013 highlight. Fo sho.

 

being sober
I made it to 1 whole year, I'd say that's agoing on the best list.

meeting new people
I made a lot more friends in 2013 than 2012, considering I lived under a rock. So ya, I'd say that's a major improvement.

three trips to burlington
who doesn't love getting to the dirty, yet still very environmentally clean, b-town.

*always* glitter.

Cronut
the most coveted and majestic of all breakfast foods

Lorde- specifically her 2013 hit Royals.

Blurred Lines and Robin Thicke
Robin Thicke had an incredible year, from blurred lines, to letting miley grind all up on him.

JT.
the comeback.

Porkbelly
I personally, I discovered this holy food this year (which is weird because my dad's a chef and he definitely didn't discover it this year) but since my discovery I have been seeing it everywhere. It's bacon, but better.

Pork belly doughnut. 0_o

 

Pretzel Bread.
I first had pretzel bread when I was like 12 but it was not widely available. Now, DD to Wendy's to WAWA! has this salty, soft beautiful delight.

Breaking Bad Series Finale/ Aaron Paul
Everyone was jumping out of their seats for this one. I still haven't watched it yet SO SAY NOTHING.
Who doesn't love Aaron Paul, Bitch.

 

 

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
kiiiilled it this year and will be ringing in the new year in times square with the ball dropping. It is true, you can't hold them, they going up, UP, UP!

Also meeting Macklemore and having to stop myself from crying was a highlight of the year as well.

 

Tahoe
Everyone and their boyfriend moved to Tahoe this year.... and I'm in Philadelphia -_- #fml

*Tahoe pictures stolen from my vagabond best friend, reetzthepeetz. I WILL BE WITH YOU... EVENTUALLY!

worst
rihanna, miley cyrus
It saddens me to have to put the creator of the worlds greatest song (we found love... obviously) on a list with america's trashiest-heart (get it like sweet heart, but the polar opposite). Rihanna you have gotten trashier and trashier and you are now on my worst list. I am sorry.

trips to burlington. 
Sometimes/use to be, the best, now... mostly just the worst. Which makes it even more worse because THIS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE WORST LIST. However, we grow, we learn, we grow some more, people come and go, and so it is.

internet relationships. 
Please don't make me expand on this. Just know they are the worst, even if they seem like the best... no. GAB! NO! theyaretheworst.

Kim and Kanye
Any child of Kanye West is bound to be some level of fucked up. Sorry North, you poor little soul, but you did not get the best of both worlds. But hey! You will be rich as God, because your father is a God.... in his mind....

ew.

Trying to find a job.
whether you were a post-grad or looking for some part time business, looking for a job in 2013 blew

What does the fox say
this actually should be on the best list because it is hysterical but the fact that this actually got on the radio is the worst.

Justin Beiber.
You got so so bad and lost. Little beibs was the best ever, but this Justin... I just, I just... I don't understand! Hopefully Will Smith taking JB under his wing will help for the beibs 2014.

The deaths of 2013, particularly Nelson Mendela and Paul Walker
obviously the worst. So sad. Never forgotten.

James Francos Instagram
.... have you seen it? Selfies. So, many, selfies.

 

 

 

 

 

Over all...

2013 wasn't a horrible year. It wasn't even a bad year. It definitely wasn't a great year, but it was by far better than 2012. I am extremely hopefully for 2014. My horoscopes for 2014 look optimistic. I have already been given a bit of a clean slate to enter the new year and I am going to work off of that.

I wish you all peace and prosperity as we enter into 2014. Yabbers... o yabbers... you keep me young.

 

I hope this list prepared you to end this year and start the new one. I also hope you have your sequin tops and black dresses ready, I know I do. As the ball drops and the calendar flips a page, kiss your mister or misses and throw some glitterRrRrRrrrrr.
