2020 was supposed to be our year. While following through with New Year's resolutions, it really seemed like things were going to be different. By March, things looked bleak. And now, while we're just trying to do the right thing, it's hard not to mourn the year that could have been. The friends we'd spend time with, the traveling we'd do. On Twitter, this grief is being hilariously summed up with television and movie references in the form of the My Plans/2020 meme. We've put together our favorite examples, but we guarantee you'll find heaps more on Twitter. We have a feeling this one won't be going away anytime soon, especially since it looks like 2020 has been indefinitely cancelled.

Just six weeks ago Bachelor fans were celebrating the series premiere of The Bachelor Presents: Listen To Your Heart, ABC's attempt at merging the decades-old dating show with an American Idol-style competition. The season was, as one would expect, a whirlwind of drama, gaslighting, and a lot less talent than we would like. While most of the fire starters of the season (Julia, Brandon, and Natascha) were eliminated before the premiere, it wouldn't be a Chris Harrison show without some serious emotional histrionics.
Fan favorite Rudi was the first to go after her indecisive partner Matt admitted he "couldn't get there," referring to the level of commitment that Chris Harrison expected from the couples. Rudi was easily the most talented of the six finalists, and her supporters were eager to lament the loss on Twitter, especially after the doomed couple was assigned a Whitney Houston duet.
Fans were also quick to decry the Trevor and Jamie relationship the producers seemed to be pushing since the beginning. The milquetoast duo butchered the Righteous Brothers classic "Unchained Melody" by giving it a seriously unnecessary country vibe, probably because Jamie isn't capable of singing it right.
With so much to complain about, the predictable outcome of Bri and Chris' win received relatively little attention on social media. The slightly boring but very sweet couple made judge Taye Diggs cry, and came out on top, much to the relief of the Jamie and Trevor haters. At the end of the day, we're just happy to see Bachelor nation embrace a little diversity. Maybe they'll be more accepting of people who don't necessarily want to "make babies" as Chris Harrison was aggressively pushing.
Remember when grownups used to say "Don't judge a book by it's cover"? Well, the metaphor is especially true for this basic-looking home that's anything but. Twitter user @frazierapproves shared a very special listing yesterday for a home just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Introducing it as the greatest house ever, @frazierapproves takes us on a twitter thread tour that reveals the cookie-cutter house boasts a lovely yard - and an incredibly zany interior. We don't want to spoil it for you, but have you ever wished for a beach in your basement? Apparently these homeowners did. Their asking price? A veritable bargain at $159,000. Enjoy the roller coaster ride.
