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.

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.
