2014: A Review | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Oh 2014, what a year you were. Kim K. was busy breaking the internet, Taylor Swift was shaking it off, everyone was taking selfies, and pizza was winning over everyone's heart. Here are 14 things that made their claim to fame over this past year. 

1. Quizzes. Buzzfeed created a new trend, a monster perhaps. Quizzes tell us where we should live, who we'd be in our favorite series, and what type of food we are. 

2. Selfies. Sure, they didn't start in 2014 but the star-studded Oscar selfie sent 2014 in the right direction. 

3. Netflix. Everyone was binge-watching something this year or buying t-shirts proclaiming that they were in a relationship with Netflix.

4. Basic Bitches. Pumpkin spice lattes, leggings, infinity scarves, plaid and uggs.

5. The Butt. My anaconda don't understand why the butt is back, but it is. Thank you J-Lo, Iggy, and Nikki. 

6. Taylor Swift. You want to hate her, but you know that you catch yourself singing "Shake it Off" and "Blank Space." 

7. Tattoos. Whether it be a sugar skull, an arrow, or an infinity sign...tattoos are definitely in. 

8. Frozen. Good lord, let it go already.

9. Instagram. Take 20 pictures to get the right lighting, then spend 30 minutes editing and finding the perfect filter. 

10. Lip-syncing in Cars. Why is that so popular?

11. Pizza. From Buzzfeed's "What Kind of Pizza Addict Are You" quiz to Miley Cyrus getting a tattoo of pizza on her finger... it is safe to say that Pizza is the new craze.

12. Healthy Lifestyles. I'm sure people were always in to being healthy, but this year everyone blogged and posted it to Instagram.

13. Cats. I don't get it... they're an animal that poops in a box.

14. List Articles. Guilty as charged.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
