17 Signs You Lived Your Best Life In 2006

Instagram // @catherinevaughansworld

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!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
