Six years later and we're still here.

20 Times One Direction Broke The Internet
Fanpop

On July 23, 2010, "One Direction" was formed on the British version of the X Factor. Almost immediately after being put together the boy band gained a huge female audience, a reaction never seen by the show before. It was then that the world knew these boys were going to be big. Despite losing in the finale of the show, Harry, Niall, Louis, Liam and Zayn continued their journey as a band. Six years later the group has managed two world stadium tours, a movie, five albums, and even tried their hand in cosmetics. They were able to reach such heights thanks to their dedicated fans known as directiontioners. Through the last six years directioners have awed at the actions of one direction, here is look back at some the greatest memories.

1. WMYB

The song that started it all. "What Makes You Beautiful" shot to the top of charts in several countries.

2. Louis and Zayn's Weed Scandal

When news hit that the two One Direction members were smoking a joint, all hell broke loose. Girls started cutting up concert tickets, parents were asking for refunds. Until this moment, many people viewed the group as only appealable and at the maturity level for tweens.

3. Pepsi Commercial


The only commercial that made me forget Coke existed.

4. The Olympic Performance

Only the biggest acts get asked to play at the Olympics. For only being around two years, it's a big deal that they made it that far.

5. Stadium tour

6. Liam signing to a label on his own

What does this even mean? Is he gone or no?

7. That time Harry just...


8. Niall gets his braces off

The real shock came when the fandom found out Niall had braces since forever ago.

9. The break ups


We all have that one member we wish we could date but break ups hit the fans pretty hard. However, none of them hit as hard as when....

10. Zayn Left One Direction

THE WORST DAY EVER! All around the world the sound of fans hearts were breaking. The exit wasn't a surprise however since he had taken a brief month pause to "sort things out."

11. Niall falling at the masters


"O no, Niall"

12. Zayn vs. The Wanted


Seventeen year old me lived for this moment. I was refreshing my timeline ready for the next tweet.

13. The time Niall just... during "Better Than Words"


You died, I died, we all died.

14. "This Is Us"

This was one of the high points. It is not everyday that you get to see your idols on the big screen. We were blessed with the music and and promotion that came a long with this movie.

15. "The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction"

These animated episodes, all done by Mark Parsons, were life. Parsons put the boys in a manner in which we already saw them, our heroes.

16. When Liam did the whole fandom a favor.


Once again, thank you.

17. Red Nose Day


18. 1D Day


The one day every directionter gave up their life to watch aOne Direction livestream that was just too much for our emotions.

19. MSG


What a time to be alive! It is literally the best and watching how proud they are is all we could've hoped for!

20. Video Diaries


Had to end it where it all began. Yes, we are stilt waiting for more video diaries but the gems we were given are blessings. The boys on the stars have grown up and it has been a pleasure to be apart of it.

From the days on the X- Factor in 2010 to the trying times of 2016, this fandom has stayed by the sides of five boys. Through all the ups and downs we are damn proud to be called directioners!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

1936
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
