2017 was a year of mixed emotions, but well, that’s just life. It’s a mix of black and white and that is what makes it amazing.

So, we’re here, with a list of things that made us happy and shocked us at the same time. You may not remember some of them and so, we, as your best friends, are here to drop in subtle (or blatant) reminders! Read on to relive 2017 in 5 minutes. You’re welcome!

While we kind of saw it coming in 2016, it was made official in 2017 or 20th January 2017 to be precise. While there were mixed reactions, it was almost like the end of an era. Ah! Still, don’t know how to react though.
