My Embarrassing Tween Facebook Profile

I sincerely apologize for my past Facebook self.

My Embarrassing Tween Facebook Profile
Danielle Glassman

So the other day my friend and I were really bored and we decided it'd be fun to stalk ourselves on facebook. I creeped all the way back to as early as 2011 to find very embarrassing, obnoxious and downright weird statuses, pictures, timeline posts, comments, etc. Basically, I was a weird kid. Here's what I would say to my old self if I could:

1. Stop posting everything

No one cares if you just watched Pretty Little Liars, are hanging with your friends today, or even eating ice cream with a fork. NO ONE. You should've tried using a real diary instead of Facebook.

2. Stop liking the "LMS for a truth" posts

Frankly, this is only so you could get a confidence boost. Did you really need to know 10 times that your friend Taryn thinks you're a great friend and that you guys should hang out soon?

3. ...Photo booth pictures

Looking back, I saw all those photobooth pictures you'd post. You even made one of your profile pictures of you in front of a fake photo booth background with palm trees. I don't understand the point of taking millions of pictures and then posting all of them. Especially if there's one where the photo booth background is spazzing and it looks like you don't have a torso.

Picture evidence of my non-existent torso:

Picture evidence that I kind of pissed off people with all the pictures...even my close friends:

4. Those pic monkey edits though...

Why did you think those pic monkey edits looked cool? Why did you think you'd look good with a pink tinted filter over your face or hearts and cliche quotes next to you?

5. Why do you care?

I feel like as a tween you were very concerned with people knowing everything about you. So you posted those "5 likes for 200 questions answered" statuses and you'd post about how excited you were for One Direction or pretty little liars, thinking that maybe you'd make friends if people knew your interests. But why make everything about yourself so public?

6. Stop with the lyrics

As a One Direction obsessed tween, you would caption lots of profile pictures with all the lyrics to a One Direction song. Tell me tween Danielle, what was the point of this?

7. Stop bragging

When you were a young tween you'd post all over facebook when you were happy. You posted that you were meeting One Direction and even posted about getting concert tickets. Quite frankly, that's just really obnoxious and why did you find the need to have everyone in your middle school know about your plans?


8. Lastly, how did you even have friends?

If I could go back and ask my tween self one question it'd be, how do you even have friends? I posted all over Facebook I'm surprised people didn't block me. I'm surprised I even had friends to deal with me posting about us hanging out and whatnot.

Now, I wonder what tweens are doing. For my generation, it was posting all over Facebook, now it's probably Instagram and Snapchat. No matter the generation there will always be tweens like I once was who post all over social media, create a highlight reel, and make the world know exactly who they are in the most obnoxious ways possible.

I'd like to sincerely apologize for my annoying tween self. Yet, I can look back at my old facebook posts and always have a good laugh. Which I guess is something quite unique (or not?).

Overall, like my friend Taryn once said, I am blessed for my personality glow-up.

Disclaimer: Please don't stalk my Facebook now.

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?

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.
