It has been 11 years since "Twilight" was released, but for those who read the books obsessively, cried over the movies and felt as if their childhood ended when the movies did, it is really hard to believe. For some “twi-hards”, the story of Bella and Edward was everything. It was our favorite book, movie, and OTP. Looking back at that eighth grade girl who loved going on Facebook and posting “OME” (oh my Edward) after everything and making her mother sleep on a sidewalk to meet one of the Volturi , I hang my head in shame. Shame that I let those books control my life and I bet there are more like me. After recently watching the movies I have a new prospective on everything...including my life.

1. Twilight was not a good movie. None of them were.

2. Why does Edward have to sparkle?

3. Bella really never stuck up for herself.

4. Twilight taught me what I don't want in a boyfriend.

5. Jacob was probably the better choice in the long run.

6. Renesmee is a weird name.

7. Edward walking out of the Volturi is over dramatic.

8. So is the skipping of the months in New Moon.

9. Actually all of New Moon is over dramatic.

11. That includes my Edward Cullen cutout.

12. I realized Twilight brought me great friends.
