12 Angles Everyone Had On Their MySpace

The early 2000's were a mess

12 Angles Everyone Had On Their MySpace
techspective.net

MySpace was a mess. Even if you are the most accepting, tolerant, beautiful soul out there, you still must admit that when social media was new and everyone was still trying to figure out this whole "taking pictures of ourselves" thing, MySpace became the garbage depository that we all needed. If you say you didn't have one of these 12 angles on your MySpace, you're a big fat liar.

1.The fedora

This hat, tilted at the side, made everyone look totally cool. Definitely 100% mobster and 0% Cheeto-dust fingers and adult My Little Pony fans, right?2. The "Looking away from the camera" I am ashamed to say that I still have the one I used to wear in mine.

2. The "Look Away From the Camera"

Because it was too cool to make eye contact. Maybe we all did this because we didn't want people to think that we were just this weird looking.

3. The Professional photo editor

What was this editing app? I remember everyone using it and writing things like "Summerrrr <3" in Paint-esque fonts. And the filters. Oh God the filters.

4) The duck-face/peace sign combo

Once again, so cool. If I make an ugly face, it means that I'm not ugly in real life... I'm trying to on purpose, right?

5) The Concealer Lips

Okay, this one wasn't an angle. It was much, much more sinister than that. And it's coming back into style.

6) The Piknik Edit

PikNik. That's what that app was called. The app that turned all of us in 8th grade into graphic designers basically. Once again, we all seemed to think that once you added a totally obnoxious and not-at-all-trying-too hard filter, all our insecurities would go away.

7) The MySpace URL

ORIGINAL PROPERTY DO NOT STEAL! Like people were going to our MySpaces and catfishing with our mirror pics with the flash still on. My sister used to be guilty of this. The girl genuinely thought she was going to end up on Catfish.

8) The "camera in a mirror"

What was it with the early 2000's that had such an aversion to asking "hey mami, can you take a picture of me?" I think it's because deep down we were all secretly ashamed of what we were doing. This stuff was humiliating and subconsciously we all knew it. Not well enough to...you know, not put it on the internet for the world to see, but we knew it.

9) The "Was there even a camera on this cell phone?" picture

RIP NOKIA put respect on his name.

10) The weird, collage-esque...thing

This is one of those things that I am happy to say that I didn't engage in. Once again, what the heck was the point of this? "Look at me, I'm so cool that I have 6 photos on me nonchalantly looking away from the camera." So. Cool.

11) The Webcam

So what, you didn't own a mirror? That was the only excuse to have such an impersonal, grainy photo that looked like something from CSI: Special Victim's Unit in the early 2000s.


12) The Master Paint Edit

Once again, we were all master graphic designers. This one is like #3's stupid younger brother who's 10 years old but still can't really read yet, but who really wants to be like his older bro. His older bro who is also a goddamn disaster.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
