5. You definitely know what you want to do with your life.

14. Growing up your internet habits were concrete: chatting friends and playing video games vs. creating websites or journaling.

16. In college you plan to get in and get out vs. being involved in many campus activities and ultimate frisbee leagues.

17. You like money.
