1. Chokers & Lisa Frank

2. The main way of communicating with your friends was via AIM and Myspace #DuckFace

3. Limited Too, Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister

" "World," "House," "World," "

4. Classic Disney Channel and Nickelodeon series are the REAL MVP — "Lizzie McGuire," "Full House," "Boy Meets World," "That's So Raven," "Hannah Montana," "Rugrats," "Even Stevens," "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody," "the Amanda Show" and "Zoog Disney" #NeverForget

5. Your first crush rocked the Justin Bieber haircut aka "The Shag" and a popped polo collar with a moose on the shirt.

6. You know the "Soulja Boy" by heart

7. You probably had an embarrassing email.... Holymacncheezy@aol.com regrets

8. You thought you were beast when you perfected a Lil Wayne song

9. Mario Cart is the best game of all time

10. Trips to Blockbuster... Blockbuster and chill?

11. You had a favorite Jonas Brother....poor Kevin

12. Team Jacob or Team Edward?

13. You watched "Fred" and Jenna Marbles on Youtube

14. You had all of these CD's: Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Aaron Carter, P!nk...

15. You owned Polly Pockets, Barbies, MyScene and Bratz Dolls (but could never play them together)

16. The Lizzie McGuire movie changed your life — When she slays “What Dreams Are Made Of” you just can’t help but sing along (because you still know every single word.... no shame.)

17. The "High School Musical" movies gave you extremely unrealistic expectations for high school.

18. You had a million pairs of Soffe shorts

19. Your Myspace top eight friends list caused a lot of drama between you and your friends

20. You made awesome mix CDs with all the songs you downloaded from Lime-wire. You also took it one step further and wrote the name of each song on the CD in pretty colors.

21. You also had an Ipod Nano (or a Hitclip if you were really cool) but your CD game was still strong.

22. If you didn't have a razor you weren't doing life right. #TooSoon #NotBitter

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?

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?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

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.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

7. Would Lightning McQueen buy car insurance or life insurance?

8. Who put the alphabet in alphabetical order?

9. What color are mirrors?

10. If 2 mind readers read each other's minds whose mind are they really reading?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?

15. If Cinderella's shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off?
