It was kind of a big year, straddling my junior & senior semesters of college. I started dating my now husband in April -- it's wild that we'll celebrate 10 years soon! There were a lot of fun moments with friends, especially through theater & Her Campus, and great times spent with family. The fashion choices were nothing short of iconic. I also cut my hair short that year & I'm kind of thinking of going back... 

Sounds like we're all in agreement: let's make 2026 the new 20216! ✨️
