1. 2016 hasn't been the easiest of years so far.
2. While most of us started the year with the most optimistic of hopes and dreams...
when u said 2016 was gonna be ur year but three months in ur life is already in shambles
3. ...we were all swiftly brought back to reality when everything started inexplicably turning to shit around us.
is Quentin Tarantino directing 2016?
4. Politics has taken on a complete mind of its own in America.
2016: No way will Trump win the election 2017: No way will President Trump fire all those nukes 2018: No way we're doing what those Apes say
5. And nobody seems to really know what the fuck is going on.
i'm starting to think that this is the last season of America and the writers are just going nuts
6. Which makes the future seem pretty fucking bleak for a lot of people.
"who do you support?"
7. Meanwhile, politics in Britain hasn't been any better after Brexit.
we're all thinking it #EURefResults
8. And once the pound plummeted and the prime minister resigned, nobody knew whether to laugh or cry.
This is 50 cent or as we like to call him In the UK 10,000 pounds
9. So everyone resorted to making memes instead.
Mood.
10. Too many of the nation's favourites have been cruelly taken away.
11. And we all live in constant fear of who will be taken next.
12. 2016 is the year where it's completely fine to meet random people from the internet.
1998: - Don't get in strangers' cars - Don't meet ppl from internet 2016: - Literally summon strangers from internet to get in their car
13. And even more fine to spend your time catching random animals on your phone.
1998: stop playing pokemon and go outside 2016: stop playing pokemon and come inside
14. (Even if it's a little bit shady.)
How to kidnap a 28 year old in 2016
15. But most importantly, 2016 is the year where absolutely everything seems to be going tits up.
Seriously In 20 years time and you're at a pub quiz and a question starts with "in what year" Just answer 2016
16. And no one knows what fresh hell it will bring next.
2015:hey how's it going so far? 2016:uh good 15: 16: 15:you've got an armed mili- 16:we've got an armed militia in a wildlife building, yeah
17. It's just one massively drawn out mess.
2016 is like a really intense game of SimCity - tomorrow I expect all hospitals to be on fire, with an alien attack some time in September.
18. A slap in the face, if you will.
basically how this year is going
19. A broken socket in the circuit of life.
Have we tried unplugging 2016 waiting ten seconds and plugging it back in?
20. A really terrible TV show, perhaps.
I hope 2016 doesn't get renewed. The plot is ridiculous and none of the characters are likable.
Or like, a long, drawn out fart.
21. Or, quite possibly, the end of the world.
2016 is like a montage of news footage you see in the beginning of a post-apocalyptic movie explaining how the world was ruined.
22. So sure, it's safe to say 2016 has been a ~little bit shitty~ so far.
"How is 2016 going so far?"
23. But there's always the hope that it can get better.
2013: It'll all be better in 2014 2014: It'll all be better in 2015 2015: It'll all be better in 2016 2016: It'll all be better in 2017
And if not, there's always next year.
24. And if not, there's only one thing left to do.
Finally an election bumper sticker I can support
