Seventeen Things That Turn Ten in 2017

Warning: This list might make you feel old

Contrary to popular misconception, 2007 was three ten years ago.

I promise.

I won’t be offended if you feel the need to check a calendar instead of just taking my word for it, because I probably believe it less than you do. It’s amazing how many things that came out ten years ago are still extremely relevant today.

1. Irreplaceable – Beyoncé

You’re lying to yourself if you say that singing along to Bey’s #1 Billboard Top Music hit doesn’t make you feel like the baddest chick in the world. You're also lying if you say that you don’t immediately think of this song as soon as someone says “to the left.”


2. Superbad

It’s been an entire decade since Fogell (played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse) made the name on his fake I.D. McLovin and declared himself old enough to party.

3. Hey There Delilah – Plain White T’s

10 years later and I’m still wondering what Delilah thinks it's like in New York City.

4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

2007 was a big year for Harry Potter fans. We got the Order of the Phoenix movie, The Deathly Hallows book (finally), and the actual Tales of Beedle the Bard that Harry, Ron, and Hermione read in the last book. Any true fan of Harry Potter lost all of their composure as soon as they read the dedication to the final installment of J.K. Rowling’s immensely successful series.


5. Gilmore Girls Series Finale

Thank God this series was rebooted for the “Year in the Life” segment on Netflix this past November because I think all Gilmore Girls fans were in agreement that the series finale in 2007 was not enough. Then again, after the Netflix reboot, we still need more (@ Amy Sherman-Palladino I’m talking to you).

6. Fergalicious – Fergie

If you can sing the entire fast part plus background vocals without getting out of breath, I want to be your best friend. Or just have your insane lung capacity.


7. Teardrops on My Guitar – Taylor Swift

This song definitely ha me singing about the 4th grade boyfriend that I didn’t have. Cheers to 10 years of Taylor Swift hitting me in the feels.

8. Ratatouille

I still think that the premise of this movie (a rat that can cook and is allowed in the kitchen all the time) is gross and unappetizing. Great movie though.

9. Bridge to Terabithia

My heart still shatters into a million pieces every time I watch this, it’s almost as bad as Marley and Me.

10. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

I may not have read this book in 2007, but when I did read it I loved it right away. 10/10 would recommend. And Selena Gomez just turned it into a movie, which I have the highest expectations for.

11. The iPhone

January 9, 2007 Steve Jobs announced the first ever iPhone, and our lives haven’t been quite the same since.

12. Britney Spears’ Meltdown

In the past decade, Britney Spears has gotten her act together. No one will ever forget her 2007 life crisis, but her comeback is really one for the pop culture history books (if those exist).

13. Buy U a Drank – T- pain

Quite possibly the most revolutionary song of our generation, second only to Aly and AJ’s classic “Potential Break Up Song.”

14. Crank That (Soulja Boy) – Soulja Boy

Iconic.


15. Juno

Ridden with nuggets of wisdom, Juno’s sarcastic comments and witty humor made teen pregnancy seem as relatable as any other adolescent adventure.

16. Keeping Up With The Kardashians

We have been #blessed with so many important moments like these over the past decade thanks to the ever entertaining Kardashian family.



17. High School Musical 2

This movie was a cinematic masterpiece. If you try to fight me on this, you’ll lose. It had literally everything necessary to keep you on the edge of your seat for an hour and 51 minutes. Heartbreak and betrayal and basketball all against the backdrop of a country club run by high school best friends in the middle of summer.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
