2. The editors at BuzzFeed and UpWorthy are evil and creative geniuses.
 

3. If you change your hairstyle or gain five pounds, everyone from your third-grade classmate to that guy you met at a bar once will find out about it.

5. There are a million ways to overshare, and your mom has figured out a way to do all of them at the same time.
