15 Obsolete Sentences From The Early 2000s

2000? That was only like five years ago, right? Wrong!

As someone who grew up in the late '90s and early 2000s, I realize that a lot has changed. Some of the things I said back then wouldn't even make sense now.

Get ready to travel back in time to slang, technology and fads that you probably forgot about with 15 obsolete sentences from the early 2000s:

1. "Do you like my new AIM away message?"

I still remember stressing about what to put on my away message. Do you remember that annoying door-opening/closing sound effect when people signed on or off? There is also a hilarious Twitter account called Your Away Message that you should check out.


2. "Have you added SmarterChild to your buddy list?"

I loved those AIM bots that you could talk to if you were bored (or if you didn't have that many friends in middle school like me). SmarterChild was definitely the original Siri.


3. "Internet Explorer keeps crashing."

This screen probably looks familiar to you. I get stressed just looking at it.


4. "Mom, the VCR destroyed another VHS tape!"

VCRs could be vicious.


5. "I'm so jealous of your pink Motorola RAZR."

If you didn't own one, I guarantee you knew someone who did.


6. "Don't forget to bring your disposable camera!"

Even though a lot of people had cameras on their phones, disposable cameras were definitely still popular.


7. "Did you see that new episode of Boy Meets World?"

I am singing the theme song in my head right now.


8. "Why aren't you wearing your Livestrong bracelet today?"

I had one. There's a 99% chance you had one too (or you at least had some sort of rubber wristband).


9. "Check out my new Razor scooter!"

Razor scooters. Enough said.


10. "Can we play Tony Hawk?"

I was more of an SSX fan myself, but Tony Hawk Pro Skater for the PS2 was definitely a big deal.


11. "Let's trade Silly Bandz!"

Whoever came up with Silly Bandz was a genius. They must have made so much profit from such a tiny bit of shaped rubber.


12. "Yasmin is totally the best Bratz doll."

I never understood why you could take their feet off.


13. "Ooh, there's a sale on flare jeans at Wet Seal."

Apparently, Wet Seal does still exist, and they still sell products such as "Rhinestone Stitched Flare Jeans."


14. "I can't decide who to include in my Top 8 MySpace friends."

Oh, MySpace. Whatever happened to Tom?


15. "I'll meet you at Borders!"

This is by far the saddest sentence on this list. I'll never forget you, Borders.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
