Fellow Millennials, we're getting old, and unlike other generations, we're open to admitting our mistakes.

Always under attacks, the Millennials showed that they're not some snowflakes, as the boomers called us. Yes, we're full of empathy, and we genuinely wanted to create a better world.

But, we're also victims of social media and some super bad propaganda. Why am I talking in the past tense? Because we're almost 40, and it's time to face the music. Shamelessly, and with no regret, we give you 22 things we, the Millennials, thought were normal.

Hopefully, gen Z will have as much fun as we did back in the 00's, and perhaps they will learn from our mistakes.

#1 Our Facebook albums were a bit over the top

do gen z know we used to upload 90 photos to a facebook album after every single night out? they’d be so mortified for us.

#2 And we spent a LOT of time making them look and feel special

Remember being a pre-teen and making these albums on Facebook captioned ‘~aDvEnTuRes~’ where you were just walking to the corner store w/ your buds takin pics like ✌🏼😬 all edited by Piczo captioned ‘you’re gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul.’ WHAT A FREAKIN TIME

#3 No regrets, but darn those Alvin and the Chipmunks

we really survived through that era where every new song would get an alvin and the chipmunks remix

#4 The Blingee era is still a puzzle

#5 This was actually a great way to slip someone you're into your number...

#6 MySpace wanted me to "own" a picture, and it still sounds sinister

#7 Pirates Vs. Ninja fights were real

#8 We had fun with voicemails, as well, though no one knows why

#9 No one will ever understand "Talk Like A Pirate Day"

#10 Dad jokes? We were all about Chuck Norris jokes, and no, we don't feel any shame!

#11 We were always oversharing: love, ideas, our thoughts on Facebook...

one like and I’ll start tweeting the same way I used to post on Facebook 10 years ago pic.twitter.com/zp9ZooCw4s

#12 Writing your favourite lyrics everywhere, yeah, those were good times

How insufferably wannabe emo I was at 13 - writing Blink 182 lyrics on my Converse. Good one, past Becca. pic.twitter.com/06UG98JDRY

#13 We are patient because of Limewire, and Dial-Up Internet

#14 We knew how to get creative even when it wasn't necessary

#15 Our depressing lyrics were crafty messages to our crushes

the height of social media was like 2008 when you’d post “I hate everyone to the bitter end, nothing turns out right, there’s no end in sight, I hate my life” (mad about geometry homework) and your aunt would comment “you need to call me” and you’d reply “lol it’s song lyrics”

#16 Only the cool ones wore these big shoes

#17 MySpace memories: if you're not among the chosen 8, you're not worth my time

#18 Basically, we all wanted to be porn stars...

#19 The Millennials invented their own language, and no, you can't sit with us

I used to text people and type on myspace like this and it haunts me

- heyyy smexie.! ~:3~ lolxz.!

#20 See? We knew how to communicate even before memes, which we also created

#21 Every generation has its fair share of fashion fails

#22 Our pictures were silly, but hey, we were trying our best to be original and united
