In honor of a week of HUGE milestones — the end of a decade, the start of a new one, and the 100th episode of the Middle Finger to Perfection podcast — we’re reflecting on our 10 biggest moments of 2019.

From the more serious moments like dreams + disappointments, wins + surprises to the really serious stuff like our secret yearbook superlatives and songs of the year, we cover it all in the first of this two-part series as we celebrate what was and prepare for what’s to come.
