Many individuals on X (previously known as Twitter) are in shock that 2025 has only been here for a week.
"Mind y’all, this only week 1,"
was posted by one user, and the internet as a whole moaned.
As individuals vented about the overwhelming start to the new year, a flurry of amusing responses flooded in. The last seven days have been filled with everything from personal tragedies to tumultuous news. As one comment put it,
"I do not appreciate this reminder, thankyouverymuch."
2025 has hardly begun, yet it feels like it has been here forever, so it's no surprise that the feeling of incredulity is spreading quickly given everything that has already happened.
It's reasonable to assume that everyone is feeling the weight of this first week, whether it's because of the unexpected news cycles, the plethora of resolutions that already seem difficult to maintain, or the hectic atmosphere of January. Let's examine some of the most hilarious responses to this tweet and see why X users are freaking out because 2025 is just one week away.
It’s only been a week, but 2025 already feels like a year—X reacts with humor and memes
The original tweet, "Mind y’all, this only week 1," struck a chord with users, many of whom jumped in with hilarious commentary about the intensity of the past few days. One user dramatically summed up the collective sentiment with,
"AND F*CK SO MUCH SHIT HAS HAPPENED ALREADY,"
perfectly capturing the general exasperation. It's hard to believe it's only week one when it feels like we’ve already lived through several plot twists.
Another user humorously lamented,
"Man it feel like we atleast 2 weeks in 😂😩,"
as if time has somehow expanded to make this week feel twice as long. It seems the first few days of 2025 have been so eventful that the concept of time is starting to lose all meaning for some.
But what really drove the point home was another tweet stating,
"Why would u tweet this omg 😫"
which was met with laughter and agreement. The tweet was like rubbing salt in the wound—a reminder no one really wanted to hear, but somehow couldn’t stop talking about.
Other users had fun with the concept of time as well. One person tried to be technical, chiming in with,
"Technically week 2, but I feel you,"
making light of how the calendar might say otherwise, but emotionally, it’s still very much the chaotic early days of January. Another reaction went straight to the heart of the matter, blaming the season itself:
"It’s the January disease 😭💔."
January always seems to bring with it a strange mixture of optimism and exhaustion, and this year, it’s amplified tenfold.
One tweet hilariously captured the fear factor of 2025’s aggressive start, saying,
"2025 aint playing around 😭,"
perfectly summing up the chaos everyone seems to be feeling. Another user joined in, commenting,
"😂 they’re playing in everybody’s face," as if to say the year itself is pulling a prank on us all.
A meme-filled start to the year
The fast-paced start of 2025 has undoubtedly led to a surge of hit tweets and oh-so-funny memes as people *try to* adjust to the rapid changes (read: disasters) in the world. Exaggerated responses about "surviving" the first few days and others giving up on their resolutions after only a few days have all been amusing examples of how fast-paced life has become. Memes that mock the never-ending news cycle and "New Year, New Me" disasters have taken over social media, and they don't seem to be slowing down.
It's evident that the internet is embracing comedy as a means of surviving 2025 - naturally - as individuals continue to express how overwhelming it has already been feeling. People are turning to comedy and chronically online humor to make sense of the chaos, whether it's because of the crowded headlines or because their own resolutions are already failing. After all, when life throws chaos at you, laughing through it seems like the best response - because what can you do - stop genocides, wildfires, and AI? Yeah, meme on!
