12 Things Prematurely Taken Away From Millennials That Need To Come Back In 2018

There were too many great things that were stripped away from us.

If Britney Spears can make a full on comeback after shaving her head, then 2018 can too.

These 11 things listed below were unfairly taken away from us millennials and we need them to come back.

1. Snapchat Best Friends

Being able to view other people’s Snapchat Best Friends is crucial for us millennials. Remember the days that whenever you were bored you would take the time to go through everyone’s Best Friends list? Those were the good days. There are many times when with a group of people that topic comes up and it becomes heated, so Snapchat, do us a favor and give us back the public view of Best Friends!

2. Blockbuster

Just recently, I had a conversation with my friends about all of the memories that we had and the excitement that built up when our parents allowed us to go to Blockbuster and pick out a movie. Sure, we love Netflix and the easy access to movies, but let us bring back Blockbuster and create the memories with our family and friends going to pick out the movie in a store.

3. "The Office" Reunion

Every college student most likely finished all of the seasons of "The Office" and went back to watch previous episodes when in need of a laugh or during pure boredom. Get the cast together and create at least one more season for us. Please, we are stressed out college kids and just need a good laugh.

4. Mixed CD's

As much as I love the simple access of Spotify and creating 20+ song playlists, I miss making my friends mixed CD's and receiving them. There was nothing more exciting than burning a new CD that you knew was going to be bumping. In 2018, let us start creating mixed CD's and passing them along.

5. The Jonas Brothers

I am the biggest JB fan and let us all be real ... "Year 3000", "Burning Up" and "S.O.S" changed our lives for the better. We are in need of a new JoBro hit that is going to make our life do a 180. As much as we appreciate Nick Jonas doing his own music, Joe becoming a part of DNCE and Kevin starting his own family, we need a comeback hit and we need it in 2018.

6. Vine

I am sure that you were reading through the list and waiting for one to be Vine. Well, here it is, and it is an obvious one. Vine was one of the best things that ever happened to us millennials and it hurts that they could take something away from us like that. Do us a favor: make us happy again and bring back Vine and all of the laughter that stemmed from it.

7. Danimals Smoothie

How could us millennials let Danimals slip away from us? It does not matter how old you are, Danimals smoothies will always be the greatest snack. There was nothing better than going to your refrigerator to see that mom recently stocked up on a fresh six pack of strawberry Danimal smoothies.

8. AIM


Do not lie and say that you had a normal AIM name. My messenger name "giggler1020" sure does not top some of the other ones out there, but I know that it deserves to be used again in a group with all of my friends. Sure, texting is great, but there was nothing better than going on AIM right after school and having an hour-long conversation with your friends.

9. Sour Altoids

Do not read and pretend like you did not ask your mom every time at the grocery store to "pretty please" buy them for you and do not proceed to also lie and pretend like you did not always get them in your Christmas stocking. You are probably getting that sour feeling in your mouth as you would when eating them just by reading and thinking about them.

10. Juicy Couture Sweatsuits

I may still wear mine, but that is not enough to make a comeback. Go ahead and dig through your closet and find your sweatsuit. I know that you think about how comfy and cool it is regularly, but do not lie to yourself and just wear it. I bet Britney still wears her's ...

11. Big Boho Headbands

We probably wore them in a way that in no way helped push back hair, but instead so far down on our foreheads in a way that we thought made us look cool, but let us still bring it back. Those were simpler times and we could all use some simplicity and fun in our lives.

12. Arranging our fingers in a star shape with friends and posting a super artsy Instagram of it.

Seriously, you are only cool if you can create the ultimate star shape with your friends and show it off on the gram. Why did that phase die in the first place? Go get your friends and do it now.

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.

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.
