Here Are The Definitive ABC's Of 2017

It has been a helluva year.

So, we all agree it's been a pretty terrible year, right?

However, we're finally nearing the end of 2017 and it's time to do a little reflecting.

To help us reflect, we asked patron saint of our childhoods, LeVar Burton, to read us a story.

We present to you, Another Round's ABC's of 2017 by Tracy Clayton and Heben Nigatu.

A is for alternative facts, what adults now call lies.

B is for Beyonce, and the apples of her eye.

C is for contouring, YouTube’s big obsession.

D is for debt, which a lot of folks are left in.

E is for emoji, our modern Romance language.
