School memories\n@Eric_Cartman (1000+ followers) describes the TV setup (which most of us probably recognize) displayed in this image as \"the best memory ever.\" During last week, #middleschoolmemories and #highschoolmemories were popular subjects for Twitter photos, making Twitter users indulge in the memories of their teenage years. Do they look familiar?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2.  As A Kid\nThe nostalgia doesn\u2019t stop at memories from high school and middle school. As we mentioned before, #Throwbackthursday is one of the most popular subjects for Twitter photos every week, and this week, #AsAKid was trending for a couple of days. Twitter appears to be a suitable platform for sharing recollections from the past and finding recognition from others. This image compares children that were born in the '90s to today\u2019s children. It was posted by @itsallpotter (3500+ followers).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Tahrir, Jan25 and Egypt\nOn January 25, hundreds of thousands of Egypt\u2019s protesters returned to #Tahrir Square in Cairo for a demonstration marking the first anniversary of #Egypt's uprising. This picture, allegedly from AFP, was shared by @eldahshan, a journalist and writer with 11,000+ followers. It shows Tahrir square packed with protesters. El Dahshan\u2019s tweet reads, \"Meet the greatest square in the world. Incredible photo, from AFP.\" \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. 30 things about me\nNot only personal memories, but also personal characteristics were widely shared on Twitter throughout the week, using the hashtag #30thingsaboutme. This image, posted by @ThisDopeKid (3000+ followers), addresses a problem most of us probably recognize. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Can someone explain to me why\nHarry Potter main character\u2019s Hermione\u2019s face on Ron\u2019s body and vice versa. As \u2018\"Professor Snape from the Harry Potter series\" (@_snape_, 500.000+ followers) asked in his tweet: \"#CanSomeoneExplainToMeWhy this exists?\" \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Sundance\nFrom January 19 to 29, the annual Sundance Film Festival is held in Park City, Utah. Sundance, the largest independent film festival in the United States, is also popular among celebrities. This year, singers and actors/actresses such as Mary J. Blige, Chris Rock and Taylor Swift visited the festival, as well as Victoria Justice (@victoriajustice, over 1,4 million followers). This picture shows the young actress in the snowy mountains of Utah, where the festival takes place every year. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Snow\nLast week, winter arrived in New York -- between 2 and 4 inches of snow fell on the city and the suburbs around it. This picture shows a part of Central Park covered in snow, posted by @Isardasorensen (a \u201CNew York City enthusiast\u201D with more than 6500 followers). She posted it along with the tweet \u201CCentral Park Pond at Central Park South exudes wintry elegance.\u201D It remains uncertain whether Sarda-Sorensen took the picture herself and whether it was taken last week. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Giants and all-in\nThe New York Giants are headed to the Super Bowl after beating the 49ers in the NFL's NFC championship game last week.

State of the Union\nOn January 24, President Obama presented the annual SOTU (State of the Union) address to the United States Congress. This picture, posted by the official White House Twitter account (@WhiteHouse, over 2.5 million followers), shows Obama hugging U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D.-Ariz, who was shot and wounded last year in Tucson. She announced her resignation from Congress in order to fully recover.
