9 Reasons Why 2007 Wasn't So Bad

2007, where do I even begin? Most people remember 2007 as one of the worst times in their life, some chose not to remember 2007 at all. I'm not sure what happened, but 2007 was just a very different time in history, for everyone. Though, in my opinion, no matter what anyone says 2007 was a fantastic year.

So get ready for a cringe-worthy nostalgia fest, because, in no particular order, here are just nine reasons why 2007 was actually a great year:

1. The iPhone

That's right ladies and gentleman, 2007 brought us our first iPhone! The Generation 1 iPhone was released on June 29, 2007, and it changed the world. Status was no longer about who had the thinnest Razr. The iPhone was where it was at. This phone was part phone, part MP3, part computer, all awesome. Just think about how far we've come from the release of this phone!

2. Myspace

In 2007, it was still socially acceptable to use Myspace. Who didn't love Myspace? Myspace was the outlet for our self-expression. 100 percent customizable, Myspace was truly the place we could go to be ourselves. It was a world with which we had the freedom to do whatever we wanted, and we could put music on our profiles!

I remember at one point my Myspace had a black and white polka-dot layout, my profile picture was the hot-light from Krispy Kreme, and I edited my profile so that it would rain donuts on the screen…amazing right?!

And how can we forget our "Top Friends," also known as Myspace's nifty way for us to show people who we cared about the most at the time, and sever ties with others at the same time. Remember making the boy/girl you were talking to your number one friend? And how could I not mention the friend that everyone had, but nobody wanted…

Good ol' Tom. Wonder what he's up to now…

3. The "Best of Both Worlds" Tour


In 2007 America's Sweetheart, Miley Cyrus, launched her "Best of Both Worlds" tour. Our two favorite girls were on tour together! What wasn't to love about this? This was the start of Miley performing as herself away from Hannah. We were all living for this, don't kid yourself.

4. High School Musical 2

What time is it? Whether you were a pre-teen, or anywhere near one, it was High School Musical time! On August 17th, 2007, High School Musical 2 was released and it was the event we'd been waiting for all summer. We finally got our fix, and who remembers voting which Disney Channel star we wanted to make a cameo?

Sure enough, we voted for our girl Miley!

5. Britney Spears


Nobody can forget Britney's 2007 meltdown. In 2007, Britney Spears went a little crazy and reminded us that we were perfectly normal. I like to think back to this time in her life when I am troubled. Remember, if Britney Spears can make it through 2007, you can make it through anything!

Let's not forget Chris Crocker telling us to leave her alone.

6. "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows"


In 2007, we were given the last installment of the Harry Potter series. I mean, what else is there to even say about that? It's Harry Potter!

7. Transformers

In 2007, our dreams came to fruition. We got to see Transformers brought to life on the big screen, and it was just as epic as you could imagine. Autobots, Decepticons, all battling it out in live-action. Transformers was definitely a game-changer and one of the best movies ever released.

8. Peter Parker's Emo/Scene Phase


In 2007 "Spiderman 3" showed us that no one was safe from the scene phase, not even our beloved Peter Parker, and I'm sure he doesn't want to talk about it either.

9. The Music


Am I throwing you off? Nope? Didn't think so.

2007 was a great year for music. It was so diverse. It was LIT!

So for my final point of why 2007 was a great year get out your spottily or sound cloud app because I am going to leave you with a track list of some of our favorite songs of the year:

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.

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.
