16 Things Turning 10 In 2017 That'll Make You Feel Extra Old

2007 was just a couple of years ago right? WRONG. 2007 was actually 10 whole years ago this year, meaning we're all old af and time is a vortex that has no rules. We thought it might be time to swallow our pride and reflect on a time when life was simple and many of us were nowhere near being adults, much like now.

Here's 16 things turning 10 in 2017:

1. It's been 10 years since Myspace was the number one social networking website

Yep, back in '07 Myspace was no.1, only surpassed in 2009 by Facebook. Myspace's popularity quickly sunk, Tom went into hiding and nowadays it is part-owned by Justin Timberlake.

2. Once, the musical
