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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
