GIFs have always been a great way for us to express ourselves on social media. Among the many legendary created throughout this year, here's 10 to take you back through the last 12 months.
1. Nene Leakes
Every pair of best friends can relate to this gif of Nene Leakes from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Leakes has no fear walking into a fight, even when her hair may not be at its best. But her friends always have her back, making sure she looks good going in and coming out.
2. Michelle Obama Dancing
We all remember a time when we were younger, singing songs that we had no business singing. Tracks that were completely inappropriate for our 11-year-old selves were the ones that we were always jamming out to. This GIF of our first lady perfectly depicts how we'd dance to these bops when we were all young and innocent.
3. Master Chef Junior
After this GIF was created, there was a flood of different situations that we could relate to this young contestant flipping a burger. From flipping exam pages to trying to keep it together, this GIF made a lot of us laugh about our problems.
4. Anthony Anderson Crying
We all related to this gif at some point in the year. 2017 had a lot of firsts, shockers, and overall stupid situations, and this gif helped us convey the emotions that came along with them. Anthony Anderson is already a hilarious guy, and this gif made it even easier to cope with our feelings this year.5. "Oh Really?"
Let's be honest: this GIF was the basis for all our inconveniences this year. It as the perfect reaction to only having $1.75 in your bank account or being shocked at something that someone said. The close-up gif captured all of our "our really?" moments.
6. Kim Kardashian West Peeking From A Bush
The Kardashians have been dominating the internet for years, but this gif has really made its mark. We mostly related this gif to going back to our old habits or watching the drama from afar, and it made a lot of people laugh.Thank you, Kim, for creating a moment that's almost as funny as your crying face meme.
7. Think
This GIF became legendary this past year, creating so many memes and jokes that lasted for months. It really made us think about our actions and how most of them are bad. This GIF is one for the books.
8. Nicole Kidman Clapping
Nicole Kidman got a lot of attention for her grinch-like hands in this GIF. We didn't use this GIF to relate to, mostly just for a good laugh.
9. Little Girl Crying
Another GIF that we could relate back to our sadness. Stress was one of the BIGGEST things that got the best of us in 2017, and nobody depicted our emotions more than this distraught little girl.
