So let's be honest here....2017 got REAL weird in terms of trends and news stories and life in general. Okay, to be fair, pretty much every year has trends too painful to think about. Like those hover boards a few years ago. Seemed like a great idea until they started getting blown up. So here are a list of things that I am pleading with the universe to leave in 2017 once that ball drops.
1. Dabbing
2. Fidget spinners
3. Popsockets
4. Nose hair extensions
I could not find an appropriate image for this. Okay, I REALLY did not want THAT to be on my Google search history...like we all have nose hair. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOURS. There could be boogies attached.
5. Fake news trolls
6. Invisible box challenge
7. Instagram food
Ya know, the food you order just so you can take a pretty picture with a strange filter to up your Instagram likes?
8. The Unicorn Frap
9. Tattoed freckles
If they're natural freckles, there is nothing cuter. But if your freckle is gonna turn into a funky looking spot on your face in a decade, no thanks.
10. Braided beards
11. Bad Instagram filters
They're not ALL bad. But the ones that make you look like some kind of demon or monster from hell are not the ones I want surrounding my pretty face.
12. Make your own slime videos
13. Messy bun hats
Or any hair hat in general, really. Flaunt what you got people, do not be ashamed!
14. Christmas decorated eyebrows
I have no desire to glue, or in any other way stick glitter and sparkly stuff that close to my eye. Plus, wouldn't it hurt coming off? Really people, what gives?
15. All other weird eyebrow trends
Making it look like you do not have any eyebrows...?
16. 'Mom Jeans' with plastic knees
I'm not gonna trouble you with a picture of this one, m'kay? Let's just agree to leave this one forever behind us.
17. Bad remakes of classic movies
18. The 'Baggy Skinny Jeans' look
I know its been a few years, but I can be hopeful right?
19. The 'Too Cool To Care' selfie
You know the one. You look to the up and to the left or right as you complain about whatever little inconvenience life has thrown at you?
20. The dancing grandma Snapchat filter
I don't wanna picture my grandma spanking herself with her purse thank you.
21. Reindeer boobs
I think that 'free the nip' was taken just a little too literally in this case.
22. Chris Christie memes
Being from New Jersey, I know what I'm talking about.
23. False eyelashes
24. Sheer and see-through clothing
Ladies, I really have absolutely no interest in seeing your underwear just because it's 'fashionable'.
25. Snapchat streak obsessions
I really do not get the obsession. Like if you go on vacation, why does someone else need to take over your account to keep the streaks up. Like just why?
26. Anything else that was really freaking weird
Believe it or not, there's wayyyyy more than this.
27. Cows that escape the nativity scene. Twice. In one night.
28. Saying 'I'm Shook' about everything
Why are you shook? Has there been an earthquake I don't know about? Calm yourself, help is on the way.
29. 2
30. 0
31. 1
32. 7
Let's be honest, how many of you knew 100 percent of the items on this list? Do you feel a little bit of shame knowing you braided your beard or glued glitter to your eyebrow? So now we're into January of 2018 and we totally have our eyes peeled for things that could POSSIBLY be worse than these painful reminders of 2017. So I say BRING IT ON 2018!
