2016 was quite an interesting year all around. I’ve learned quite a few things that made me so appalled in the world we live in.
1. Harambe Wasn’t Just a Gorilla
He was shot at the Cincinnati Zoo after apparently attacking a little boy who fell in his home. Since, then he has been a meme.
2. How Much Hatred and Violence There is in the World
There has been so much hatred and violence this past year, I’ve lost count. I see it everywhere on the news and online. From Orlando, to Aleppo. This needs to stop.
3. People Were Obsessed With Pokemon Go.
Who knew that so many people would enjoy catching imaginary creatures on their phones? Literally everyone played it when it came out in July. Not going to lie, I still play it sometimes.
4. How Many People Actually Supported Donald Trump
I never knew how many people liked Trump. It was so many that he ended up being elected as our next president.
5. New Music
So much new music came out this year, from Beyonce’s Lemonade to The Weeknd’s Starboy. I was not disappointed.
5. One Direction Will Be Back
Rumors have been flying around all year saying that One Direction are officially done after saying that they will be going on a break last year. Liam confirmed that they will be back.
7. Life is Short
So many iconic people have died, from Alan Rickman, to Prince, and most recently Alan Thicke. Enjoy it while you can because you never know when it is going to end.
8. Expect the Unexpected
This goes for every single thing. Sometime that never thought would happen, might just happen.
