TRENDING

 

And after hopping on the bandwagon yourself, don’t forget to tune into the guys’ NBC special, One Direction: The TV Special, this Tuesday, Dec. 23, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. 

Phase #1: You see these guys, and you’re like “Oh my gosh, not another boy band. I literally can’t even.”

Phase #2: And then one day you hear their song on the radio, and you’re like, “Ya know this song really isn’t so bad, annnd the curly-haired one is actually pretty hot.”

Phase #3: You finally decide to buy their latest album…and then all the old ones—you cannot believe you’ve been missing out on this. BRB going to makeup for lost time.

Phase #4: Then, you see them in concert for the first time, and this is when you first realize that you may have found your first love(s)x5.

Phase #5: By now, you’ve pretty much got all your friends hooked—even your mom knows some of the lyrics.

Phase #6: Your whole life is now 1D. You’ve got all the merch, bed sheets, socks, pencils, perfume. You’re officially a Directioner, and you’re proud of it, baby!
