2016. Now that Christmas is gone, the eyes of the world are set on the start of 2017. A year full of promise and what most hope to be the complete opposite of 2016. Now, a year is a long time, it's 365 days! How is one supposed to remember what happened? Well here is a recap of 2016's major events and boy was 2016 busy.

1. January 2016

The announcement of Zika occurs and the world breaks out into an anti-mosquito mad house. Pretty #Ebola on steroids.

2. June 2016

The U.K decides to 'peace out' on the European Union. I mean this is just, I honestly don't even know what to say here except 'God save the Queen'.

3. August 2016

Summer Olympics come around as well as Ryan Lochte's rumor of being robbed in a Rio gas station. Dude, you already look like a jackass with your bleached hair, please don't lie and make America look like a bunch of a**hats. Thanks.

4. Losses

THIS IS THE WORST PART. We lost Alan Rickman, David Bowie, Muhammad Ali, George Martin, Prince. LIKE COME ON. PRINCE?? YOU HAD TO TAKE PRINCE?? (but BLESS all of those purple rain remixes)

5. Freakin Harambe

What can we say? We Americans love our gorillas and do not agree with wrongful deaths. We also encourage the act of giving him over 14,000 votes for president. He was a good gorilla. RIP HARAMBE.

6. 2016 Presidential Election

Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton. I'm just gonna leave those here....

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
