A Year In Memes

You have to admit, 2016 was definitely the year of the meme. I'm here to help break down the year meme by meme. Shall we reflect on the good, the bad, and the funny?

January

The year started off with the lovely, Bernie vs. Hillary meme. The internet could literally compare anything about them and people would still laugh.

February

February was the start of "get you a man that can do both." This meme still hasn't gotten old. I still see several renditions of it all over twitter!

March

Sad Papaw was all over the internet in March and to be honest, I'm still mad at his grandkids!

April

To this day I do not understand "Dat Boi," but the world seems to love him. He made his debut in a physics book, but his internet debut was made in April, 2016.

May

May was the month of Spongegar. This prehistoric sponge radiates fear, panic and rage. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be the one to face him.

June

Ah yes, the month of the, "Kermit sipping his tea" meme. When this meme first circulated the internet, I had absolutely no idea what it meant. Now I not only understand Kermit, but I identify with him. So much.

July

Back painting memes, the worst of all memes. Seriously, get a canvas for God's sake.

August

August was the month of Arthur's fist and frankly, I don't think I'll ever stop loving this meme. It's just so relevant in so many situations. How can you not love it?

September

Name a more iconic duo...

I'll wait.

October

Ken Bone, legend. That's really all I can even say about him.

November

The BFFs that are Barack Obama and Joe Biden weren't just pros at running the country, they also make for very hilarious post-election memes.

December

On December 5th, the world got wind of the Canadian Car Crash. If that doesn't describe 2016 in a nutshell, I don't know what possibly could.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
