If you’re like any of us, being a One Direction fan has definitely toyed with your emotions these past few months. First, Zayn left us (we’re not still bitter or anything), their tour ended, and now they’re on at least a yearlong break. While their last performance was emotional enough, they just dropped the music video for their emotional fan tribute, “History,” and it was a complete tearjerker (not that we expected anything less).
Here’s a list of thoughts we had while watching this emotional video.
1. Why do they always just spring these things on me? I feel so attacked right now
2. You’ve gotta help me… I’m legitimately about to lose my mind (because you literally gave us no warning that this video was about to drop). Thanks, guys
3. Okay… you can’t just throw in old X Factor vids without warning me. Be considerate, guys
4. NIALL IN GLASSES!!!
LOOK AT HIM!!!
5. “No, they don’t teach you this in school.” Nope, they never teach you the things you actually need in life (like how to make Harry Styles actually respond to you on Twitter)
6. THOUGHT WE WERE GOING STRONG, THOUGHT WE WERE HOLDING ON (*cough cough* Zayn)
7. #TBT to the “What Makes You Beautiful” vid… a simpler time
8. ZAYN, COME BACK
9. I want to say those girls hysterically crying in the video aren’t me but…
10. HARRY SMILING… I have had ENOUGH of this video
11. Why don’t they EVER warn me before Harry and Liam decide to frolic around shirtless?
12. Zayn :(… still not over it
13. NIALL IN GLASSES!!! (still not over that either)
14. I’m not crying in the middle of the commons. That’s not me
15. Louis and a koala… Louis is a dad now… WHAT IS HAPPENING!?
16. They’ll always be those five (four) boys on the stairs… (It’s fine, we’re fine)
17. WITHOUT YOU HERE, LIFE IS JUST A LIE (Oh, Zayn. Again, I’m not bitter.)
18. OLD MUSIC VIDEO MONTAGE… give me strength
19. My babies have grown up so beautifully
20. The fact that one of their last performances before the break was on the X Factor…
21. THIS IS NOT THE END. THIS IS NOT THE END (repeat this ten times, and it might turn out to be true)
Stay strong, collegiettes. This is not the end – we can make it.
