1. It starts with hope
And going back to school starts to feel exactly like this
Followed by the shocking realization
You try to stay positive…
Try to keep it together…
THE PAIN
The longest weeks of your life
any school dance
cramps
When a boy tried to be romantic
When all you needed was your best friend
When all your friends were hooking up and you were just there
When you and your friends did photoshoots
When you first got your period
When you first had to use a tampon
When you had no idea what to do around someone attractive
When you had that really weird first kiss
Elijah Wood was 18 when he was cast for Lord of the Rings. He’s 33 now
Everything from this 1991 Radio Shack Ad can now be done with a single mobile phone
If ‘Friends’ were still running, Monica and Chandler’s twins would be 10 years old, Emma would be 12, the triplets would be 16 and Ben would be 19
If the Simpsons actually aged, Maggie would be 26 and Bart would be 35
If you bought the computing power found inside an iPhone 5 in 1991, it would have cost you $3.56 million. It makes $1,000 seem far more reasonable
If you were alive before 1969, landing on the moon was the stuff of science fiction. Now, it’s ancient history.
Butt scootering ‘round the globe
Or, actually, this was the best day of the year
Perhaps the world’s least functional erasers
Pizza in its purest form
Running away from wasps on these playgrounds
The best day of the year
The most stressful two minutes of your young life
The world’s best lunchtime dessert
