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!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
