8 Movie Heroines Who Ruled 2016!

We’re fresh off the third viewing Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, watching Jyn Erso pretty much save the world. Nope, the galaxy.

It got us thinking, this year had some pretty kick-ass heroines.

From fearless Tris (Allegiant) to otherworldly Jaylah (Star Trek Beyond), fabulous femmes definitely had a moment on the big screen this year.

We know we know Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens can’t make the cut since the movie premiered two weeks before the start of 2016, so we’ll start with our other favorite female warrior:

JYN ERSO

Actress Felicity Jones gave us chills as the ultimate rebel, with her brooding and epic performance of a girl on the ultimate mission in the Rogue One: A Star Wars story. Her valor and her never-ending passion had us on the edge of our seats when we saw her take on her fair share of Storm Troopers and climb the tower, we knew it was going to be one of our favorite Star Wars films to date.

This Year in Music: Our All-Time Favorite Lyrics of 2016

This Year in Music: Our All-Time Favorite Lyrics of 2016

Despite the tragic and unfortunate events that have loomed over our heads like a dark cloud in 2016, no one can argue that the year had one heck of a soundtrack.

With new albums from Beyonce, Kanye, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna (among many, many others) we’ve been lucky enough to have music to turn to when we’ve felt our lowest, our giddiest, and our most apathetic.

We’ve had songs to listen to when we’ve shuddered with sobs beneath our covers, when we’ve never ever wanted to see that person ever again, and when we’ve felt hopeful, perhaps for the first time in a while.

Still, lists like these are subjective, so in the interest of mixing matters up, we’ve sorted our favorite song lyrics of the year into categories – most meaningful, best rhymes, most memorable, and funniest.
