Reflecting On 2020 So Far

Hi all! Amelia here.
So far, 2020 has been a very weird year. You probably all know this, as you are probably all on quarantine right about now, but we will still list the facts. We obviously won’t put the coronavirus pandemic, but we’ll list some other things.

• Weird dates: First off, March 19th was the first day of spring everywhere in the USA (despite time zones). As a child, some of you learned that the spring equinox happens on either March 20 or March 21. This is the first time in 124 years the first day of spring has occurred on March 19 nationwide!

• Leap year: 2020 is a leap year, an extra day in February

• Impeachment in USA: Donald Trump was officially impeached on February 5, 2020. Part of the impeachment took place in 2019, but also in 2020.

• UFO’s over the plains: At the beginning of January, hundreds of huge, UFO drones were flying over Colorado, Nebraska, and other states around them. Even now, no one knows what happened to them.

• Lots of wildfires, in the USA, and other countries: As of February 5, 2020, 94 wildfires had already burned in California alone!

• The UK got some weird weather: the UK doesn’t often get a lot of snow, but in January they got over 10 inches, in some places getting up to 20 inches!

• Royal family left: The royal Harry and Meghan decided to step away from the royal family and split their time between North America and Europe, it was fairly shocking. "Meghxit," as people are calling it, seemed to have shocked the Queen as well.

• Cinco de Mayo falls on Taco Tuesday! Insane, right?

• Election: Obviously there is an election going on in America, which just adds to the chaos.

• 2020: 2020 is also just a rare year, where the two ‘groups’ of numbers are the same. It only happens every century or so (1717, 1818,1919, etc.). Also, this year seems unreal, like we’re still thinking of the 2020’s as the future.

These are only some of the many, many odd things that are happening in 2020, and it seems like it’s just gonna get weirder as the year goes on. Remember the 2010’s when life was… well… normal? Wow. Feel free to comment on what is making 2020 a weird year for you.
Keep living life random,
Amelia😁
