On May 30th, 2016, we officially hit 10 years since The Hills first aired on MTV. Are you feeling old yet? In case you missed it, good ol' LC tweeted that MTV will be doing an anniversary special with her on Tuesday, August 2nd!! You can read more about that here. Naturally, I fan-girled, (is that a word?) all over the place. Obviously, when such a reunion occurs, you have to go back and watch all of the old episodes before hand. Think of it as studying for a final, (why yes, I did just liken The Hills reunion to taking a final - priorities guys). Let's be real though, not everyone has the time to catch up on old episodes of reality television shows on Hulu. But don't worry, I did it for you. And what's even better, I'm here to remind you of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Here are five things you realize when you re-watch The Hills.

1. Lauren Conrad didn't always have good hair...

These days, Lauren Conrad is a fashion mogul, author, a fabulous party planner, and has hair that looks too good to be true. But, when you watch old seasons on The Hills, (particularly season one and two, I might add), you'll notice that her hair is certainly not what it is now! It's seriously always in her face, and dirty! I lived through 2007, I rocked the side bangs too, don't get me wrong...but girl, get it together. I'm thinking you could make a mean drinking game out of how many times she pushes her hair out of her face in season 2, (warning: you will be heavily intoxicated).

2. Heidi Montag was way prettier before all the plastic surgery.

It's no secret that Heidi Montag went off the deep end. She became obsessed with changing everything about herself. After watching all of the old episodes, it was crazy to see how beautiful she was back then! But I suppose being with Spencer Pratt would drive anyone to be that crazy...

3. Spencer Pratt was in fact, an actual psycho.

"I want Heidi to Myself". We all remember this psycho moment between Spencer and Heidi's parents...if you don't, here is a little refresher. This is one of ENDLESS examples of Spencer demonstrating just how out of his damn mind he really is. In the early seasons of The Hills, Spencer was a tool. As the show progresses though, it seems to get worse. I have a theory that for every surgery Heidi had, Spencer got a little more crazy.

4. Lauren Conrad really, REALLY, liked headbands.

Throughout the show Lauren wears A LOT of headbands. Seriously. Maybe to hold back those 07' bangs? Maybe not. But lucky for us, someone actually took the time to find all of different headbands she wore, (cough, cough... get a life). And in case you were wondering... it's TWENTY-NINE! Also a good opportunity for that drinking game we talked about earlier. Seriously, I don't think I have ever owned 29 of anything... except maybe bobby pins. You can check it out for yourself here!

5. Early 2000's fashion should seriously be a crime.

I mean leggings under a dress, with heels none the less... come on Lauren, you're better than that. How she managed to go from this, to the fashion master she is today, demonstrates that we really can do anything we set our minds to.

Although we make a lot of jokes about Lauren's previous style, and the cast as a whole back then, The Hills will always have a special place in our hearts. And honestly, if you get nothing else from this, at least you can be thankful that nobody was around to document your fashion choices and hair choices in the early 2000s. Yikes.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
