11 Toys You Had If You Grew Up In The 2000s

Ali Express

My childhood was spent in hours and hours of dressing up, putting on shows, cooking with my kitchen set, or playing school with my stuff animals. Other times it was spent playing with toys or begging my mom to buy something. These are a few of my favorite things from my childhood in the 2000s.

1. Polly Pockets

I'd have the whole living room covered in a Polly Pocket town. They'd go from the mall to an amusement park, or even a pool.

2. Webkinz

My favorite part was decorating their rooms and playing against people in games. We'll pretend I didn't have like 30...

3. Barbies

"I'm a barbie girl in a barbie world." It took me and my sister longer to see who would use which one and have which outfits than to actually play. Let's also not forget about the barbie limo!

4. Nintendo DS

My poor Nintendo dogs are probably dead...

5. ZooPals

"ZooPals, ZooPals, the plates that make eating fun!" It was always a sad day when your mom wouldn't get them for you.

6. Heelys

I always wanted a pair of these as a child, but I never got them.

7. Doodle Bear

And having your bag that unfolded to a mat. This bag carried the bear and markers, which is seriously one of the best inventions ever. Plus all you had to do was put it in the washer and it was like brand new.

8. Silly Bandz

Bags and bags of them. Plus as soon as I got new ones, I was at my friend's house trading!

9. LeapPad

What better way to learn to read! It has evolved into the new LeapPad we now see.

10. Easy Bake Oven

The food actually didn't taste that bad. But it would have been a lot quicker to just cook in a normal oven, but it definitely wasn't as cool!

11. Lite-Brite

This probably was one of my favorite things to use. I remember just sitting there poking holes in paper to see the awesome picture I'd have at the end.

Now that you can see what I grew up with, maybe you'll be inspired to find it, buy it, and play with the most awesome toys out there. Some nostalgia was brought to me after talking to my friends about these and writing this, that I actually went to a few stores looking for them, and unfortunately, many of them are no longer sold. But thankfully we have internet and can order online! These new toys have nothing on the old!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
