26 Things That You And Your High School Friends Definitely Did If You Are Over 23

    Ah, yes, the now distant past.

    1. Make fake screen names and troll each other's crushes.

    2. Put a shoutout to "your girls" in your AIM profile or away message.

    3. Get in "fights" with SmarterChild.

    4. "Hack" your friend's profile or away message on AIM to say how much they loved you.

    5. Constantly "stalk" people from your high school, which was a section of people on your buddy list who didn't know you had their screen name.

    AIM stalking is how you became the expert social media stalker you are today, TBH.

    6. Honestly, you guys just basically lived on AIM.

    7. Trade doubles of disposable camera pictures...

    8. ...until one of your friend's got a digital camera. Then all of your friends got digital cameras and you were just constantly taking shitty pictures with them.

    9. Obsessively read people from your high school's Livejournal, Deadjournal, or Xangas.

    10. Create or squash drama by rearranging the top 8 on your Myspace.

    11. Beg and/or manipulate your parent's into giving you and your friend's a ride to the mall.

    12. Infect each other's computers with all sorts of viruses by downloading songs off of LimeWire.

    13. Wander around Blockbuster or Hollywood video aimlessly trying to agree on a movie to rent.

    14. Read each other's Teen People, Teen, or Seventeen magazines...

    15. ...and eventually, by senior year, secretly read Cosmo because you guys were "cool" now.

    16. Hang out in the magazine aisle of any convenience store just to read magazines in general.

    17. Just spend hours hanging around one of these:

    18. Just sit and do nothing in each other's rooms while looking at all the ripped out pages of magazines on the walls.

    19. Get mad at that one friend who would always complain when you asked to use your phone to call your mom because of "minutes."

    20. Have five minutes of fun with an iZone camera, but only five minutes because no one ever really bought more film for it.

    21. Make people you went to school with on The Sims, and then mess with them and/or make them have sex.

    22. Assign who was who on Laguna Beach during viewing parties.

    23. Write notes to each other during class that basically just said how you were "bored and hungry."

    24. Make mix CDs for every single occassion: Holiday get togethers, road trips to CVS, a drive to the supermarket, homecoming, literally everything had a mix CD for the occasion.

    25. Put up passive-aggressive away messages on AIM whenever someone in your friend group was pissing you off.

    26. And finally, just like, this:

    Do you ever think about all the shady fckn places you went when you were like 15 or 16 and lied to ur parents about and wonder how the hell you’re actually still alive and not buried in a shallow grave still clutching that bottle of UV blue
