Welcome to the new year. That baby has capped off his dome with a pretty top hat, we've awoken to a healthy hangover, and that gym resolution is just going to have to wait until tomorrow (or until the Gatorade kicks in). With that said, there's no better time to get cracking on that other resolution of yours. Yes, the one unsaid resolution we all tell ourselves, but never get around to doing. What resolution are we talking about? Why, the gif-game one, of course!
There isn't anything better than a good gif. We have, after all, already opened our gifts and are in dire need of replenishing our arsenal. Well, look no further — behold, a January 2014 gif(t) guide to aid you through the next 31 days. With the help of Giphy, we've compiled the ten must-know, perma-loop images to bookmark, drag n' drop, and save to your phone. January is all about new beginnings, new side-eyes, and new reasons to just not give a you-know-what. And, nothing expresses those feelings better than a lil' gif.
