People Are Sharing This List Of All The Good Things From 2016




There’s no denying the fact that there’s a lot of fear and frustration filling our social feeds right now. 


There’s also no denying that things are, shall we say, pretty troubling right now. 2016 has proven to be a year of struggle for many.


That being said, a lot of incredible things have happened this year as well. These are the things we hold onto tightly in this transitional time. One Tumblr user decided to remind us all of that and the response has been overwhelming. People really needed to see this and so do you. Keeping in mind some of the information on the original post might need a little update, the feels around this post remain the same: Good things actually did happen this year. During the holiday season is the time to remember this the most.


SHARE with anyone needing a boost today! 











Despite how it might feel right now, 2016 was not all bad. In fact, a lot of incredibly amazing things happened over the last 11 months that deserve their air time now more than ever. ‘Tis the season after all! 


So let’s begin sharing this Tumblr user’s insights, shall we?




You can find the full thread here, but for now, we’re going to highlight the best of the best.


We all need this right now. Here’s a puppy to look at in the meantime because puppies happened in 2016 and no matter what else happens this year, we can rest assured puppies will be part of our 2017, too.




1. ALS Bucket Challenge Made A Real Difference

16 Times Getting Drunk Really Paid Off

The worst thing about getting drunk is pretty much any decision you make while drunk.  But once in a while you get lucky and by some fluke, a messy night takes a turn for the better.   Maybe you discover a cool talent or go on an amazing drunk adventure. More likely, you discover a edible-looking hot dog lying on the sidewalk calling to you.  But whatever your drunk win is, it creates an experience so magical that alcohol-soaked you feels like the only person in the world… even though  you probably don’t remember a thing about it the next morning.  1. Your inability to stand up straight resulted in the best dance moves ever The alcohol gods are on your side when your unconscious self manages to do the worm. 2. You’re drunk and your oven is broken… And you really want pizza… 3. So you deep fry your pizza Drunk you is so smart. 4.

You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
