17 Signs You Lived Your Best Life In 2006
Instagram // @catherinevaughansworld

The 2000s were a much simpler time; everyone had an awkward phase and knew all the words to every Disney DCOM. You spent hours watching that Charlie the Unicorn video and discovered what a vanilla bean frappuccino was... aka you peaked in 2006. Let's be real, we were all living our best lives in the mid-2000s, and if you find yourself saying "omg that was totally me," then you too lived your best life in 2006.

1. Your MySpace "Top Friends" was sacred.

Nothing was more dramatic than a shift in someone's Top 8. Also, we all know basic HTML from perfecting our MySpace profiles.

2. You got all of your relationship advice from Tiger Beat Magazine.

And don't forget all those damn free posters you covered your walls with.

3. You wanted a purity ring because the Jonas Brothers had purity rings.

Did you even really know why they were wearing them? No. But did you swear you were going to marry Joe? Duh. So you got one and wore it until probably 2009.

4. Nothing hyped you up like the Disney Channel crossover episodes.

"That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana?" Yeah, I had a watch party for it.

5. You definitely took a Razor scooter to the ankle.

There is no pain like it.

6. Speaking of razors... you reached your peak if you had one of these bad boys.

Nothing was more satisfying than getting in a fight with your frenemy and flipping the phone shut to prove your point.

7. You tried Nair and received 2nd-degree burns.

I get why my mom was nervous about me cutting myself shaving, but I'm pretty sure this is what they use to torture people.

8. You anticipated the next "NOW!" CD.

Still think "NOW! 14" is the bset one.

9. The only makeup you could wear was Lip Smackers.

Watermelon was the best flavor.

10. Nothing said HBIC like a Juicy tracksuit.

If it didn't say "Juicy" on the butt I wasn't wearing it.

11. If it wasn't covered in a logo, you didn't wear it.

Abercrombie? Check. Hollister? Check. Aeropostale? Check. Ok you can walk out the door now.

12. You thought bangs were a good idea.

We didn't know better.

13. You gave your parents' computer a virus downloading music off LimeWire.

You just really needed the new Justin Timberlake CD.

14. Team LC or Team Kristin?

Why was I even allowed to watch MTV? Also, totally Team LC.

15. The iPod Shuffle is why I have trust issues.

Not knowing what song was coming next has turned me into a control freak.

16. Did anyone actually have a Zune?

The iPod's weird cousin. I swear I don't know anyone who did have one.

17. You Heely-ed away from all of your problems.

GTG, TTYL!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
