15 Truths For Anyone Who Had A Facebook Before 2013

If you had Facebook before 2013, you know that times have changed. You may or may not have experienced wanting a Myspace and your mom refusing to let you get one. Then, all of a sudden, Facebook swooped in and saved your social life because you technically only had to be 14 to make an account. In this case, Facebook was probably your first form of social media, and it now, more than likely, contains a plethora of unfortunately embarrassing posts.

Needless to say, your early posts probably still make you laugh when you come across them on Timehop. We all posted pictures and/or statuses that we swore were cool. Facebook was the bomb.com in middle school (so was saying, "the bomb.com"), and it may even be considered the holy grail of embarrassment, looking back at it now. Which is precisely why it's always important to look back on our cringe-worthy Facebook days.

Remember it had a top friends function too? And Facebook "walls?"

So, if you had a Facebook during these early years, sit back and reminisce on the glory days of Facebook with this list:

1. You frequently posted fragmented sentences, assuming your name was automatically part of every status.


2. If you didn't repost this, you didn't love Jesus.


3. ... and if you didn't repost this, you were definitely going to die.


4. You weren't cool unless your FarmVille was amazing.


5. Your selfies had the most unpleasant angles.


6. ...or over the top editing.


7. How To Find Out Who Likes You 101

8. I'm willing to bet you posted at least one "TBH" status.


9. i'm also willing 2 bet u typed lyke this.

10. Your statuses were your diary.


11. You had competitions to see who can get the most Facebook friends.


12. You accidentally added random people you definitely didn't know.

13. You, more than likely, poked everyone you knew.


14. You made your best friends your Facebook family members.


15. Liking super weird and random things was somehow a trend.


If you've experienced any of these things, you've probably endured that wonderment that is the old Facebook days.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
