12 Things You Loved As A Kid

Some of our best memories come from our childhoods. For me, food has always been a place where family and friends were involved, and it was what conversation took place around. Reminiscing on some of my favorite childhood snacks brings back good memories, and I hope it does for you too. However, if you did not have one of the foods listed below, I seriously doubt you had as good of a childhood as I did.

1. Uncrustables

Don't tell me you secretly peeled off the crust at school when your mom packed you a regular sandwich. This was always the PB & J you were looking for in your lunchbox.

2. Kool-Aid

Kool-Aid was one of the best drinks because of the twisty top. I bet you gulped this drink down faster than any other drink.

3. Fruit Roll-Ups

You probably got in trouble for playing with these at school. But hey, it's hard to finish your lunch when you're too busy putting tattoos on your tongue.

4. Gushers

This was the snack that was so good, you didn't want to share a single one of them to anyone. When you ate these, I'm sure you slurped out the center first.

5. Push-Up

The best portable popsicle of all times. All you had to do was keep pushing until there was no more ice-cream and the plastic pusher fell out the top.

6. Sunny D


Nothing made your mornings sunnier than this drink. This definitely made your day a little bit brighter.

7. Happy Meal

I know you remember ordering these as a kid. Let's be real: the only reason you ordered the happy meal was for the toy.

8. GoGurt


Frozen or not, these brain buster GoGurts gave you and your friends way too much fun at lunch. Then the rest of lunch you would reminisce on your favorite Spongebob episode.

9. Lunchables

You were just hoping that your mom would forget to pack your lunch, so she could give you one of these. Dessert was always eaten first.

10. Hubba Bubba Ouch!

No, you didn't get a scrape or hurt yourself. These weren't band-aids, but the best tasting gum in the whole world. The container was always saved to put your favorite knick-knacks in.

11. Capri Sun


I'm sure the Capri Sun was what you had with every meal. This was your on-the-go drink and after you finished it, you would ask for another one.

12. Birthday Bash Cups

I know that during at least one of your childhood birthdays you had these to give out. Birthday bash cups always go great with some birthday cake!


If you remember eating these as a kid then you had one heck of a childhood. If you don't, then you need to go to the nearest WalMart or Kroger immediately! Next time you eat one of these, appreciate the life you once had as a young kid.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
