10 Websites From Your Childhood (That You Probably Forgot About)

As a kid, I loved a lot of things--but one of my favorite things to do was surfing the web with my sister. We found the best websites to waste our time on, so I thought I would share a list of my favorite websites I would visit as a kid.

1. MyScene

My best friend and I spent most of our time on www.myscene.com. We could literally spend hours dressing up the characters, giving them makeovers, and doing their nails. I have no idea how a game could be so addictive, but I am pretty sure I would still love playing all these games today as I did when I was younger.

2. Millsberry

There were many websites a lot like this one, but Millsberry always was my personal favorite. It was always a great time when you had the chance to create a version of yourself online, and be able to play in a virtual world.

3. Brain Pop

One of the best feelings in the world was when my middle school teacher plugged up her computer to the projector so we could watch Brain Pop videos. They actually made learning fun and were such a great part of my middle school experience.

4. Cool Math

Along with Brain Pop, www.coolmath.com was another website that helped make education seem like a game. I would play the game "Lemonade Stand" for hours and hours, and I didn't even realize I was learning math while playing it.

5. Amanda Please

The fact that this website still exists is beyond my imagination. This website is unique because it doesn't make any sense at all, but at the same time, it makes complete since to me.

5. Addicting Games

This website probably gave my parent's computer a million viruses, but it was worth it (for me at least). The endless pop-ups were annoying, but some of the best games from my childhood were on this website.

6. Disney Channel

Disney Channel's website had some entertaining games, but in my opinion, the best games included the Lizzie McGuire/Miranda dressup and the Cadet Kelly game.

7. Space Jam

There is nothing really special about this website. I am just really confused why it is still on the internet and it still works.

8. Polly Pocket

The Polly Pocket website and the MyScene website pretty much went hand in hand. Reminiscing on this website made me want to go back to the time where I collected Polly Pockets and everything was a whole lot easier.

9. Postopia

I never really thought that a website based on cereal would be cool, but as a kid, this was one of the coolest websites to go on.


10. Neopets

I saved the best for last, because Neopets was my favorite website of all time as a kid. I would be lying if I said I didn't create a Neopet the other day just so I could play Meerca Chase.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
