By now, most regular Facebook users have come across the popular application "LivingSocial," the use of which is simple - you just choose a category ("Movies," "TV Shows," "Things to Have When A Zombie Attacks") from their list, then choose your "Top Five." There's a pretty common trend among people who partake in this choosing of their Top Five anything, and I'm going to do you the service of telling you the exact formula of your average Facebook-using teenage conformist.
Let's use the example of "5 Things I've Wanted to be When I Grow Up." First, just choose two things that you actually have wanted to do. But make sure they make you look very cool and
very mainstream ("singerrrr!! like lady gaga omggg!!" ; "teacherr =)"). Second, choose one thing that you probably have not wanted to be, but that makes everyone think, "Wow. That's a smart, good person." For bonus points, choose something you know nothing about and make that clear to anyone with half a brain cell. ("botanical engineer!! so i can make a car that runs on water and save the world <3").
Fourth and finally, choose "Chuck Norris." Because everyone will think you are very cool for choosing Chuck Norris, and no one has of yet or ever will stop to think, "Hey. I have no idea who Chuck Norris actually is. I have never actually watched Walker Texas Ranger. The only reason I make constant Chuck Norris references and think he's the shit is because everyone else does."
Do not worry about this. It will not happen.
