It has been some time now since the creation of Facebook. 12 years, to be exact. People have now found other social media outlets like Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn that allow them to post their pictures and constant updates on their life. But back before the invention of these of sites, everyone stuck to Facebook.

With finals wrapping up, we are forced to face the inevitable and feared act of "bumping." With procrastination during finals week comes the dreaded "bump." You friends are trying to find any reason not to study, so they turn to Facebook to go look back at all the weird stuff you posted when you were 14. All of the sudden, your timeline is filled with ridiculous statuses, photos, and videos that you will forever regret posting. You might find yourself asking, "what was I thinking?" or "why was I so weird as a freshman?". We will never be sure why we thought it was cool or funny or intelligent, but we posted it anyway. So for those of you in this same boat, here are X things we all regret posting to our walls when we first logged on to Facebook. And what better way to show you than to find examples from my completely humiliating Facebook page.

1. Truth Is...

Honestly, the only reason we did these is because we felt really cool when we got more than 11 likes. But there was always that one kid you didn't know so you had to write "Truth Is... We don't really hang out but u seem rlly kewl."

2. <3 <3 <3 or the ♥

These don't even look like hearts and most of the time they didn't actually translate into the hearts. Oh well. Now we just look stupid.

3. While also quoting song lyrics

Because every single one of my faithful Facebook friends cares.

4. "Txt me"

Nooooooooooo.

FYI, I was a loser.

5. Or when your friends hacked you

Nothing was worse than getting hacked by your 14-year-old friends whose statuses were probably worse than yours. That or your brother hacked into your account and changed your "About Me."

Sadly, this is still in my "About Me," thanks to my big brother.

6. Any post with horrifyingly, awful grammar or absolutely awful spelling errors

Because we saved so much time by abbreviating "you," "to," or "for," and because "tomorrow" and "definitely" were also 2 difficult 4 u to spell.

7. The selfies you took with your Envy 2

You still let them live on your Facebook page as humble reminders of where you came from. Just because you have moved onto the fancy new iPhone camera doesn't mean you can't remember the glory days of your pink razor or your Envy 2.

8. When you were really aggressive about your crush on a celebrity

While also still being an aggressive fan of a college team.

9. Realizing that you liked 986,245 pages on Facebook and understanding now that that was a huge mistake

The notifications and pop-ups on your wall are all too wonderful 10 years later.

10. Liking your own post out of desperation

Maybe I just thought I was funny... Who knows?

While also misspelling "tomorrow," again.

11. UsInG LoWeRcAsE aNd UpPeRcaSE SiMuLtAnEoUsly

As if that what you had to say wasn't annoying enough.

12. Using three too many 'E's

Because one was simply not enough.

13. "Copy this as your status and see who responds"

The sad thing is that we all copied it...

As if u didn't need 2 hide ur current Facebook page from ur future employers, now u need 2 hide ur Facebook from ur freinds 2.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

1. You're tired of school food and have resorted to surviving off junk food and cereal.
