1. You ran either a fandom blog or an aesthetic blog.

Pictures of Harry Styles made their way onto both, regardless.

2. You wore Vans with every outfit.

They were the perfect way to say "I'm stylish, but I know how to have fun and be a bit edgy when I wanna be."

3. You were on Wattpad religiously.

Whether you wrote fanfiction or just read it, Wattpad was where you spent all your free time.

4. You had a winter-inspired 8-Tracks playlist.

"Sweater Weather" by The Neighbourhood was a staple on everyone's playlist. "Robbers" by The 1975, too.

5. Said 8-Tracks playlist was connected to your Tumblr.

Anytime someone was on your blog it would play automatically, with no way to turn it off.

6. You had a "lane" when it came to your favorite groups.

Were you a Zayn girl? Niall? Calum? Ashton? Harry? The list goes on, but you absolutely swerved between lanes every few months.

7. Your tracked tags on Tumblr consisted of whose lane you were in at the time, along with inside-jokes for your fandom.

"Tracked Tags: Luke Hemmings, 5SOS, Ketchup The Dog, Michael Wants Another Slice."

8. You took your ships seriously.

Larry was real and not even Louis having a baby could make you think otherwise.

9. You probably begged your parents for a penny board at some point.

Everyone in O2L had one, so naturally you had to have one too.

10. You also begged them for merch and concert tickets.

They likely thought it was just a phase, but they bought you that life-size Harry Styles cardboard cutout anyway.

11. YouTube was the epitome of entertainment.

Coming home and watching Troye Sivan and Dan and Phil was always the best part of the day.

12. Flannels were an accessory, never a shirt.

You'd tie one around your waist when you were feeling particularly edgy.
