11 Things From The 2000s That Will Make Every College Kid's Life Easier
The Odyssey

College is the most fun time in our lives, but also the most stressful. We have to deal with living on our own for the first time, leaving our family and trying to learn how to be an adult. Fortunately, there are things that can make our lives a little easier.

Here are the things from the early 2000s that every college kid needs to make their lives a little smoother.

1. Juicy Couture sweatsuits

I have never been able to understand why these velour sweatsuits went out of style! Running late to class and don't know what to wear? Throw on a Juicy sweatsuit and a pair of Uggs, and you are good to go.

2. HitClips

Everyone likes listening to music on the way to class. It makes the time go by faster and helps us avoid people at all costs. But headphones get tangled and get in the way! So pop on a HitClip, listen to some throwback music and you will look super cool doing it.

3. Razor scooters

Running late to class and only have five minutes to get across campus? Hop on a Razor scooter and you will get wherever you need to go as fast as lightning. Just be careful about being to aggressive with the brake, you could literally make sparks.

4. Heely's

Another great form of transportation. Why don't more college kids wear these?! Heely's are versatile and they give you an option on if you either want to walk to class or ride to class.

5. Crocs

Crocs are both comfy and dependable in any type of weather. Rainy day and don't want to ruin your shoes? Crocs. Want a pair of shoes where you can change the look with different clip on decorations? Crocs.

6. Slap bracelets

Easy, fashionable and a stress reliever. Need I say more?

7. Teksta Dog


Going away to college and leaving your pet can be super hard. So get a Teksta Dog! It's just like a regular dog accept you will never have to fed it or clean up an accident.

8. Easy Bake Oven


This should be a staple in every college students dorm! No mess, no hassle and no recipe to mess up. For the kids who do not know how to cook...this will also cut down on the risk of you starting a fire.

9. Barbie Jeep

This is perfect for when you need to get across campus. They fit on the sidewalks, have a radio and a built in phone! It doesn't get much better than that.

10. Password Journal

Journaling is good for the soul and especially a stressed out college student. Keep your thoughts and feelings locked up in this journal that only opens by the sound of your voice!

11. Bop it


Stressed out and need to get your mind off of school? Play this for a few minutes, and you will become very distracted!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
