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.'
