If life is a classroom, Twitter is the chalkboard.?
The main point of Twitter is that there isn't one. You can say whatever you want, whenever you want. While that can cause a ton of problems, it also allows for people to say what they're truly feeling and thinking, which can be very relatable. I mean, where else on the internet can you scroll through a string of emojis typed by Cher, vitriol from the president, and a video of a baby in a wig.
Given the sheer number of tweets, it can be incredibly easy to miss the good ones, but don't worry here are some of the greatest tweets of this year.?
Scroll. Enjoy. Retweet, if you'd like. Twitter is your oyster.?
1. Where better to have true horse girl discourse than on dear ol' Twitter??
me: honestly i just wish twitter was more positive and everyone would stop hating on each other, just mute accounts they don’t like and move on

.7. "Chick-Fil-ationship" is going straight into my Rolodex, thanks, Mitch.
Went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner and these two employees were flirting at the table next to me (guess they were off shift?) and the guy asked the girl on a date and she said “it would be my pleasure” and I think I just witnessed the beginning of a beautiful Chick-Fil-ationship

9. A handy guide on how to skirt the "I don't want kids" backlash.
Telling people “I don’t want kids”:
-“You’ll change your mind one day”
-“When you meet the right person...”
-“You don’t understand, you’re not a parent”
Telling people “My bloodline ends with me”
-Dramatic
-Your bloodline feels sacred and mystical

10. Let's get Adele on the phone and have her come up with a new English name for "milkshake."

12. Including this tweet in this roundup on Mashable.com is...kind of meta.?
Unclear why we’re all still using this site when the worst case scenario for a tweet is it ruins your entire life and the best case scenario is it ends up on a Mashable list of sassiest replies to the IHOP account
