The year 2020: As told by painfully accurate memes.

We KNOW that this year has been an absolute dumpster fire of unprecedented chaos, but you know amongst every dark, looming, hideous looking cloud there is a small silver lining.

And in 2020, that silver lining was: Memes. 

Watch when my bestie tags someone else in memes. Post continues after video.

Right?

Urgh, who knows? But for now, distract yourself with these throwback 2020 memes.
