1. Create an email address

Friend: “Hey, what’s your email address?”

You: “Oh, uh, it’s spicymonkeybabe@gmail.com”

Friend: “…”

2. Upload every single picture to Facebook

You have 50 different albums for your birthday party, your friend’s birthday party, your school field trip and one for every sleepover with your friends. Trust me, no one cared to see half of those pictures, and most of them were more than likely taken with the horrible camera quality of your Motorola Razer.

4. Call every boy you liked your “boyfriend”

Every boy that you decided to be “cute” or “nice” somehow became your boyfriend and you two “dated” for about a week until the next one came along.

7. Succumb to the fads of Silly Bandz and studded belts

I know you all remember these. Silly Bandz lined your arms up to your elbows, and you owned a studded belt whether you were “emo” or not. Of course, other questionable trends like gauchos, Bobby Jack apparel and tied T-shirts exist in (what a surprise) the many pictures on your Facebook.
