Yeah, sure, he's the President-Elect or whatever, but how could TIME Magazine attempt to draw in readers with someone who didn't even win the popular vote? Besides make Americans Brexit themselves, Donald Trump has done nothing truly presidential, and there are a number of people who are more qualified to be recognized as TIME's person of the year for their notable accomplishments.

1. President Barack Obama


If for no other reason than transitioning with grace and throughout the process hand-holding the very man who wants to demolish his legacy.

2. Lin-Manuel Miranda

This one goes without explanation, I mean have you heard the Hamilton Mixtape?!

3. That Uber Driver That Lets You Use the Aux Cord

Not all heroes wear capes.

4. Shirley Caesar


Who is Shirley Caesar you may ask? Only the woman who blessed us with the best Thanksgiving rap of all time. It will live on in our hearts until next turkey day.

5. Lil Sebastian


The legend himself, may he rest in peace. The title has pretty much lost all meaning at this point, so why not extend it to mini-horses?

6. Beyonce

How has this not happened yet?

7. Any Restaurant Employee Ever That Has Had to Deal with a Secret Menu Hack

Your double-shot, extra whip, frappuccino with a pump of cinnamon dolce syrup and the tears of your barista is holding up the line.

8. Amy Sherman-Palladino

The Gilmore Girls revival was iconic and should be remembered as such.

Fun Fact: the "M" in TIME over Trump's head on the cover almost look like devil horns.

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
