Today marks the 10th anniversary since Victorious, one of the most nostalgic shows from our pubescent years, first aired on telly. Today also marks 10 years since I vowed to never forgive Nickelodeon for frying Ariana Grande‘s hair like that. Update: I shall now forgive, but I will never forget.
The show, created by sitcom guru Dan Schneider, first graced our screens back in March 27, 2010, when “Hey, Soul Sister” was #1 on the ARIA charts and I was getting tipsy off 2 guava cruisers. What a time.
“i couldn’t have spent my teenage years with a better, more funny, talented group of human beings,” Ari captioned a throwback flick of the gang, below. “i really loved playing cat valentine (even though sometimes people think i actually still speak and act like that and her essence will lovingly haunt me til i die) …. i miss getting in trouble w my friends the school room and trying not to laugh when we weren’t supposed to on set.”
“i even miss waking up with red hair dye stained pillows.” Sheesh. Now that’s saying something.

Victoria Justice also jumped on the tribute bandwagon: “This show changed my life & I’m so grateful I got to share it with this amazing, insanely talented group of people. We share memories together that I look back fondly on to this day & will always cherish.”

I’m not crying, I swear, there’s just a lot of dust in my apartment.
No seriously, I’ve been cooped up in isolation but have maintained peak levels of laziness and refuse to clean.
But that’s another story.
I’ll let myself out now.
Happy birthday Victorious. You the real MVP.
