2020 has been...an interesting year, and it's safe to say that a lot of people are exhausted from the COVID-19 protocol (especially as the weather gets nicer). But on the plus side, it's engendered one of the best, funniest, most adaptable memes the Internet has ever seen. If you haven't seen it, welcome to the "My plans vs. 2020" experience—the first image, your hopes and dreams for the year ahead, the second image depicting the train wreck that resulted. The most creative are classic culture, film, TV, and celeb moments that perfectly reflect the messiness. I don't know about anyone else, but giggling at these iconic moments is making me feel better.
So many celebrity references!
Oh, Britney:
