Seventeen Things That Turn Ten in 2017

Warning: This list might make you feel old

Seventeen Things That Turn Ten in 2017

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.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
