As 2016 comes to a close, many of us can agree that we'd just like the year to be over already. To make light of the tumultuous year, however, people are taking to Twitter to unleash their feelings, realizations, and major takeaways using the hashtag #2016WasTheYearThatIFinally. While the responses range from light and uplifting to brutally honest, they're all just pretty damn funny. Look ahead for some of our favorites.

Hey, what took you so long?

For Many, 2016 Was All About the Entertainment . . .

. . . and Netflix. You Can't Forget Netflix.

Some Lessons Were Learned the Hard Way.

And Some Lessons We Hope to Overcome.

We're skeptical about this one.

And of Course, No Matter Else Happens These Next Few Weeks, There's Always Next Year!

Here's to Starting Over in 2017!
