15 Truths For Anyone Who Had A Facebook Before 2013

If you had Facebook before 2013, you know that times have changed. You may or may not have experienced wanting a Myspace and your mom refusing to let you get one. Then, all of a sudden, Facebook swooped in and saved your social life because you technically only had to be 14 to make an account. In this case, Facebook was probably your first form of social media, and it now, more than likely, contains a plethora of unfortunately embarrassing posts.

Needless to say, your early posts probably still make you laugh when you come across them on Timehop. We all posted pictures and/or statuses that we swore were cool. Facebook was the bomb.com in middle school (so was saying, "the bomb.com"), and it may even be considered the holy grail of embarrassment, looking back at it now. Which is precisely why it's always important to look back on our cringe-worthy Facebook days.

Remember it had a top friends function too? And Facebook "walls?"

So, if you had a Facebook during these early years, sit back and reminisce on the glory days of Facebook with this list:

1. You frequently posted fragmented sentences, assuming your name was automatically part of every status.


2. If you didn't repost this, you didn't love Jesus.


3. ... and if you didn't repost this, you were definitely going to die.


4. You weren't cool unless your FarmVille was amazing.


5. Your selfies had the most unpleasant angles.


6. ...or over the top editing.


7. How To Find Out Who Likes You 101

8. I'm willing to bet you posted at least one "TBH" status.


9. i'm also willing 2 bet u typed lyke this.

10. Your statuses were your diary.


11. You had competitions to see who can get the most Facebook friends.


12. You accidentally added random people you definitely didn't know.

13. You, more than likely, poked everyone you knew.


14. You made your best friends your Facebook family members.


15. Liking super weird and random things was somehow a trend.


If you've experienced any of these things, you've probably endured that wonderment that is the old Facebook days.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
