With the imminent arrival of the six-year anniversary of One Direction, Directioners used Twitter to trend #GrowingUpADirectioner and shared memories of some of their favorite things during their time as fans. Scrolling through the hashtag is sure to bring about a spell of nostalgia. While there were plenty of tweets that made our hearts ache (we’ll get to those), there were plenty that had us doubled over in laughter! Here are 10 of our favorites.
