If you are reading this chances are you were born in the decades where iPod Nanos were cool, everyone knew the Soulja Boy dance by heart, and your free time was spent perfecting your MySpace account. Thinking back on it now, you can feel the wrinkles setting in as you remember the days you spent wearing your army pants and flip flops (thank you, Cady Heron). Here are some other signs you are getting old (break out the wrinkle cream):

1. You were heavily invested in Lizzie McGuire's romance with Ethan Craft.

We all saw it coming when she ended up with Gordo, and were OK with it.

2. You bought every Webkinz you could get your hands on

Let's face it though, you did not buy them for the stuffed animal. It was all for the code.

3. The WB was still the WB, not the CW and you could watch shows like 'Dawson's Creek' and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.'

4. You remember the day Justin and Britney broke up.

It had to be the saddest day of your preteen existence, but then you remember that Justin is back on the market and all is right with the world.

5. You owned a bedazzled iPod Nano filled with songs like 'Umbrella' by Rihanna and 'In Da Club (Int'l Version)' by 50 Cent.

6. Before John Green there was Sara Dessen, whose novels made it seem like she was the only one who understood us.

7. One Direction was not the first boy band you fell in love with.

8. You owned every Junie B. Jones book that was ever published, and did all your book reports on them.

9. If you did not wear Abercrombie and Fitch you were a nobody.

Also lets never forget the mixed emotions you had as you carried the bag with the shirtless model on it through the mall.

10. Let's face it: You had a crush on Aaron Carter at some point or another.

The only time in your life that you disliked Hillary Duff is when she dated him.

11. A piece of your soul died when the finale of 'Gilmore Girls' aired.

You grew up with Lorelei and Rory, how could you handle life without them, or Mrs. Patty?

12. You owned a pair of these bad boys and rocked them tucked into your Miss Me jeans. (STY-LING)

13. You knew the Soulja Boy dance by heart, and you still do.

14. You had a Dance Dance Revolution Mat in your house, and you were a self proclaimed professional at it.

15. You know exactly who lives in a pineapple under the sea.

16. You bought a Wii and own every Mario game on the market (because those are the best).

17. Your craziest moments and innermost thoughts have been preserved on Facebook chat for your viewing pleasure.

18. You understood the stress of parenthood at a young age.

19. Also lets never forget VHS tapes.

20. MTV actually played music, not premiere shows like 'Teen Mom.'

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
