Ben Auxier

Take a deep breath, because this list of things that have already happened in 2020 might be a little disorienting. In a year so truly bizarre and chaotic, it’s hard to keep any kind of timeline of events straight in our heads. But believe it or not, every one of these things really really happened this. Year.

Here are 8 random events from 2020 that you probably already forgot about.

And that’s just a random smattering. If you go back even through your own social media profiles you’ll probably find dozens of things you don’t even remember talking about from this very year. It’s been a wild ride. And it’s not likely to let up any time soon. Hold on tight.

What else could we add to this list?
