Yet somehow, Facebook is the only one that survived.

If you were anything like me, you had an iPod touch somewhere between the years of 2009-2012. The apps we had on our iPod back then were vastly different from the ones we have now. Here are some nostalgic apps that you likely had in the 2000's,

1. CamWow

Snapchat was definitely not the first app to institute photo apps that allowed for silly filters.

2. Temple Run

2000s app Temple Run

The most nerve-wracking thing about Temple Run was when you'd trip and the gorillas would catch up to you for a few seconds.

3. Kik

Little did we know this would birth the "You got kik?" meme.

4. Keek

2000s app Keek

Keek was for short videos that many youtubers would use.

5. Omegle

Nostalgic app Omegle

Although this isn't necessarily an app (and if it is that's sad) where you could videochat with online strangers, and for some reason was always on the to-do list at sleepovers.

6. Talking Tom

2000s app Talking Tom

Nothing was scarier than bonding with Tom for a few months just for a rumor to surface that Tom was recording you the whole time.

7. Ghost Detector

Nostalgic app Ghost Detector

Back in the day, people would do Bloody Mary in the bathroom to get spooked. In our sleepover days, we had our device to detect ghosts to spook us.

8. Vine

2000s app Vine

Is it mean to hope that kids today get Tik Tok taken away from them so they can feel what we felt when Vine no longer existed?

9. Dog Whistles

Nostalgic app Dog Whistles

It was also funny (or pure boredom) playing a frequency so high you can hear it but not your parents.

10. Draw Something

2000s app Draw Something

For those who us who aren't good artists, this game was an automatic loss for us.

I wonder if in 10 years we will look back and think "Ha! Who used Twitter besides Donald Trump?"

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

17 Times "Friends" Accurately Described Life

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
