A lot of shit happened in 2016. Like a lot. Some things were bad (laughable, even), and others were much, much worse. The only thing left to do is hope that 2017 doesn’t leave us feeling like this (shit). Here are 15 reasons why 2016 just wasn’t anyone’s year.
1. The world couldn’t stfu about Harambe
The world just took it too dang far. Very 2016.
2. The Chewbacca Mask Lady made her claim to fame
By laughing. Literally nothing else.
3. The historical first meeting between the President and Raul Castro went down like this
And the whole world cringed.
4. The world continued to be sexist as hell, even for Olympians
Because duh.
5. Ryan Lochte was the literal worst and no one seemed to care
Definition: 2016.
6. Meanwhile, gift-from-God Gabby Douglas didn’t put her hand on her heart, and the world was so extra about it
Because of course.
7. Colin Kaepernick protested institutional racism, and all the racists were offended
Especially Kate Upton, apparently.
8. Brexit…that happened
Yeah, good luck with that one.
9. Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston happened for nothing more than a hot sec
We still don’t understand what this was.
10. Brangelina came to its necessary ruin
Looks like your story is over then, LOL.
11. Pokémon Go took over everyone’s life
For like five minutes and then we were bored again.
12. Britney made a “comeback”
It was pretty uncomfortable.
13. Kanye endorsed Donald Trump in the middle of a concert
Well you both have now.
14. And met with Trump like a week later
Like the world needed a reason to hate him more.
15. Trump
Not anymore we don’t.
*prays for 2017*
