15 Obsolete Sentences From The Early 2000s

2000? That was only like five years ago, right? Wrong!

As someone who grew up in the late '90s and early 2000s, I realize that a lot has changed. Some of the things I said back then wouldn't even make sense now.

Get ready to travel back in time to slang, technology and fads that you probably forgot about with 15 obsolete sentences from the early 2000s:

1. "Do you like my new AIM away message?"

I still remember stressing about what to put on my away message. Do you remember that annoying door-opening/closing sound effect when people signed on or off? There is also a hilarious Twitter account called Your Away Message that you should check out.


2. "Have you added SmarterChild to your buddy list?"

I loved those AIM bots that you could talk to if you were bored (or if you didn't have that many friends in middle school like me). SmarterChild was definitely the original Siri.


3. "Internet Explorer keeps crashing."

This screen probably looks familiar to you. I get stressed just looking at it.


4. "Mom, the VCR destroyed another VHS tape!"

VCRs could be vicious.


5. "I'm so jealous of your pink Motorola RAZR."

If you didn't own one, I guarantee you knew someone who did.


6. "Don't forget to bring your disposable camera!"

Even though a lot of people had cameras on their phones, disposable cameras were definitely still popular.


7. "Did you see that new episode of Boy Meets World?"

I am singing the theme song in my head right now.


8. "Why aren't you wearing your Livestrong bracelet today?"

I had one. There's a 99% chance you had one too (or you at least had some sort of rubber wristband).


9. "Check out my new Razor scooter!"

Razor scooters. Enough said.


10. "Can we play Tony Hawk?"

I was more of an SSX fan myself, but Tony Hawk Pro Skater for the PS2 was definitely a big deal.


11. "Let's trade Silly Bandz!"

Whoever came up with Silly Bandz was a genius. They must have made so much profit from such a tiny bit of shaped rubber.


12. "Yasmin is totally the best Bratz doll."

I never understood why you could take their feet off.


13. "Ooh, there's a sale on flare jeans at Wet Seal."

Apparently, Wet Seal does still exist, and they still sell products such as "Rhinestone Stitched Flare Jeans."


14. "I can't decide who to include in my Top 8 MySpace friends."

Oh, MySpace. Whatever happened to Tom?


15. "I'll meet you at Borders!"

This is by far the saddest sentence on this list. I'll never forget you, Borders.

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.
