12 Things That Will Remind You Of Your Childhood
NewSpring

If you're anything like me, you miss all the great stuff that you had as a child. Life back then was simple; we could be preoccupied with our toys for hours. Here are some things that will remind you of your childhood.

1. Nickelodeon Tapes

These weren't like any other VHS tapes. These tapes were basically all of the Nick movies that you loved.

2. Lipsmackers Lip Balm

It was a necessity to have lip balm as a child and not just any kind would do. You had almost every flavor of Lipsmackers in your lip balm collection.

3. Skip Its

This was one of the best toys to have as a child. Until you managed to break your ankle with it.

4. Slap Bracelets

A key accessory to any outfit was a slap bracelet. These came in almost any color or design, so you had one to match any outfit.

5. Paper Fortune Tellers

You and your friends used these to tell your future.

6. Easy Bake Oven

You were basically a professional baker if you had one of these as a child, even if you only made semi-decent cakes.

7. Polly In My Pocket

Everyone had a Polly In My Pocket that they took everywhere with them.

8. Mr. Sketch Markers

You couldn't just have any kind of markers as a kid. You had to have the scented markers. They obviously made every drawing better.

9. Blockbuster

Nothing made me and my sister more excited than when our mother took us to Blockbuster every Friday. We had to agree on a movie to watch over the weekend. When next Friday would come around, we would get to pick another movie.

10. Dial Up Internet

This was the best and worst thing as a child. On one hand, you could go on the internet to play games. On the other hand, you had to wait until your mom was off the phone to actually get on the internet.

11. Wonder Ball


This was the best candy as a kid. It was a hard, chocolate shell on the outside, with hard, fruity candy on the inside.

12. Disposable Cameras

I was really into taking pictures as a little kid. My mom would buy me a new camera and I would go around taking pictures of what I was doing at parties, sleepovers, and what-not. Sometimes it was a pain when you would get your pictures developed and that one picture you thought looked really cool ends up being blurry.

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.
