As you may or may not (but most likely, do) know, Mariah Carey performed at the NYE ball drop again this year. And while, no, it wasn’t nearly as much of a total mess as her 2016 performance, our dear friend Mariah did manage to make headlines once again.<\/p>\n

Obviously, her words took off, becoming the first official meme of the year and, now, the perfect line for when 2018 inevitably lets you down.<\/p>\n
