14 Signs You Grew Up In The Early-Mid 2000s
The Odyssey Online

Oh the early 2000s, how I miss you. You had some of the greatest and most iconic tv shows, toys, movies and anything else you can think of. Sometimes, I even miss you!

1. You weren't cool if you didn't have one of these


Everybody had a razor phone, and if you didn't you were outcasted and you begged your parents for one. This was probably the equivalent to an iPhone. Everybody just had to have one. Even I wanted one, hence why nobody liked me.

2. You spent more time caring for your tamagotchi than your homework


That was your own virtual pet! You couldn't just let it starve. When it came down to it, it was either fail history or save a life. I remember I nearly got in trouble a few times with mine. I wouldn't want it any differently

3. After you were done caring for your tamagotchi pet, you went on AIM to talk to your bff


You'd talk about your crush with secret code names and your username was something along the lines of 2kool4u or something like that. I forget what mine was.

4. Myspace


Everyones internet addiction before facebook.

5. RIP to everyones neopets



Neopets was something I could never get into, but most of my friends had one and I swear that's all we ever did.

6. Skip-It


If it was a nice day out, you'd grab your skip it and you'd have a skipping competition with all of your friends. I'm pretty sure I was the champ at this!

7. Webkinz

Pretty sure this was neopets competition. This was what I was into. All you had to pay for was the stuffed animal that came with the code. Now you can make an account and get a free pet, but you only get one free pet.

8. Mr. Owl..


"Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"

9. Club Penguin


The only virtual world website any teacher would let you on.

10. BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY


You saw that TV in your science classroom and you knew that it was about to be lit. Throwback to when the entire class would sing along to the theme song.

11. The Magic School Bus


Even if you didn't get to watch bill nye, you still had the magic school bus. Wasn't as great, but it was the next best thing.

12. You'd watch the Amanda Show after school

The Girls Room, Totally Kyle, let's not forget Penelope Tate. Amandas #1 fan. This was one of my favorite nick TV shows. It only lasted a few short years, but I remember watching re-runs

13. Then After the Amanda Show, you'd watch Drake and Josh


America's favorite boobs.

14. You still want to know why Chase and Zoey never ended up together on Zoey 101


They belonged together! They couldn't live without each other! Though Dan Schneider did release a clip of what was in the time capsule 10 years after the time capsule aired. You can watch the clip here:

but we still don't know if they lived happily ever after or not.


So if you recognize any one of these 14 things then you are definitely grew up in the early-middle 2000s.

mistake

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

You're gonna make it after all.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
