The 2000s were a much simpler time; everyone had an awkward phase and knew all the words to every Disney DCOM. You spent hours watching that Charlie the Unicorn video and discovered what a vanilla bean frappuccino was... aka you peaked in 2006. Let's be real, we were all living our best lives in the mid-2000s, and if you find yourself saying "omg that was totally me," then you too lived your best life in 2006.


1. Your MySpace "Top Friends" was sacred.

Nothing was more dramatic than a shift in someone's Top 8. Also, we all know basic HTML from perfecting our MySpace profiles.

2. You got all of your relationship advice from Tiger Beat Magazine.

And don't forget all those damn free posters you covered your walls with.

3. You wanted a purity ring because the Jonas Brothers had purity rings.

Did you even really know why they were wearing them? No. But did you swear you were going to marry Joe? Duh. So you got one and wore it until probably 2009.

4. Nothing hyped you up like the Disney Channel crossover episodes.

"That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana?" Yeah, I had a watch party for it.

5. You definitely took a Razor scooter to the ankle.

There is no pain like it.

6. Speaking of razors... you reached your peak if you had one of these bad boys.

Nothing was more satisfying than getting in a fight with your frenemy and flipping the phone shut to prove your point.

7. You tried Nair and received 2nd-degree burns.

I get why my mom was nervous about me cutting myself shaving, but I'm pretty sure this is what they use to torture people.

8. You anticipated the next "NOW!" CD.

Still think "NOW! 14" is the bset one.

9. The only makeup you could wear was Lip Smackers.

Watermelon was the best flavor.

10. Nothing said HBIC like a Juicy tracksuit.

If it didn't say "Juicy" on the butt I wasn't wearing it.

11. If it wasn't covered in a logo, you didn't wear it.

Abercrombie? Check. Hollister? Check. Aeropostale? Check. Ok you can walk out the door now.

12. You thought bangs were a good idea.

We didn't know better.

13. You gave your parents' computer a virus downloading music off LimeWire.

You just really needed the new Justin Timberlake CD.

14. Team LC or Team Kristin?

Why was I even allowed to watch MTV? Also, totally Team LC.

15. The iPod Shuffle is why I have trust issues.

Not knowing what song was coming next has turned me into a control freak.

16. Did anyone actually have a Zune?

The iPod's weird cousin. I swear I don't know anyone who did have one.

17. You Heely-ed away from all of your problems.

GTG, TTYL!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
