20 Things That Will Make You Feel V Old

As a junior in college now, I’ve often caught myself reminiscing and wondering about how time has passed so quickly. It doesn’t help that throwbacks seem to be such a prevalent trend lately — kind of a constant reminder that the past was a better time and to revel in it.

You’re probably thinking “why must social media constantly remind me of these throwbacks,” but what with my impending 20th birthday at the end of October, #sorrynotsorry, it can’t be helped. So, in honor of me, here are 20 facts that will make you feel très mature. It’s been a long time, guys.

1. Will Smith is now older than Uncle Phil was in the first episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

2. HitClips were hanging off the backpacks of all the cool kids over 15 years ago.

3. The Nintendo Game Boy is effectively a Game Man now aged 25 years.

4. The first episode of Rugrats aired 24 years ago, and the toddlers would now be aged: Susie-28, Angelica-28, Kimi-26, Tommy-26, Chuckie-27, Lil-26, Phil-26, Dill-25.

5. Christine Cavanaugh, the original voice of Chuckie and Dexter from Dexter’s Laboratory, passed away at the end of last year at the age of 51.

6. 1995 is as far away as 2035, which is the same year the I, Robot humanoid robot revolution is set to take place, so we should probs prep for that.

7. The Olsen twins have been smiling and posing the same way for more than 25 years.

8. The first episode of Friends aired 21 years ago.

9. Phoebe turned 44/45 this year.

10. Ross’ son, Ben, could legally drink alcohol this year. And the actor who played him, Cole Sprouse, just graduated from NYU.

11. The first episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, starring Cole and his twin brother Dylan, aired 10 years ago.

12. Beans from Even Stevens turned 25 this year, but looking at this picture makes it seem like Even Stevens’ first episode aired more than 15 years ago…

13. The Little Mermaid has been part of our world for more than 25 years.

14. If AIM was a child, it could vote this year.

15. Eminem’s daughter, Hailie, will be turning 20 on Christmas Day this year.

16. Kel Mitchell from Kenan & Kel is 37, but still hosts Orange Soda parties.

17. The Spice Girls’ Wannabe has been the anthem for preteen slumber parties for nearly a quarter of a century.

18. High School Musical broke free into our hearts nearly 10 years ago. (RIP Zanessa)

19. TLC advised us not to go chasing waterfalls 20 years ago.

20. Christina Aguilera’s single Reflection on the Mulan soundtrack has been fueling our intrapersonal rumination for 17 years.

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.
