Growing up in the late '90s and early 2000s was an awesome time for cool toys and some of the best TV shows. Everything was simpler back then. No matter how old you were, you can probably still remember all of the toys that you played with. Whether it was a Baby Alive doll that seemed freakishly life-like or an Easy Bake Oven to use alongside your mom while she was cooking, thinking of these things brings back great memories.

1. Wonder Ball

These were the best because who doesn't like chocolate? Then there was more candy inside!

2. OUCH! Bubble Gum

It was a bit odd to eat gum that looked like band-aids, but this gum was still pretty good.

3. Water Snakes

I'm not really sure what the purpose of these things was, but I have to admit that they were pretty fun to play with.

4. Pretty Pretty Princess

Who doesn't love a game that you could pretend to be a princess in?

5. Moon Shoes

These were dangerous at times and they could hurt you, but they were also pretty fun to bounce around in!

6. Hit Clips

These were the days of mini CDs that you could carry around in your pockets.

7. Easy Bake Oven

Injuries occurred fairly often when playing with this, but it was still pretty fun.

9. Betty Spaghetty Doll

Some of you may have forgotten about these. They were a bit peculiar, but so much fun!

10. Baby Alive

Sometimes the idea of Baby Alive was a bit weird. It was freakishly life-like, especially in that it went to the bathroom, but that didn't stop us from playing with it!

11. Leap Frog Turbo Twist

This made it fun to learn math or history.

12. Bratz Dollz

It was basically another barbie doll, but a little bit cooler.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
