18 Things That Were Cool A Decade Ago, But No Longer Are

2006 was a simpler time.

In my opinion, the world as we knew it in 2006 was a better time. Back when it was still considered a good idea to purchase movies from Blockbuster, and to ask your hair stylist for super chunky blonde highlights. Here were some more of the fond memories 2006 graced us with:

1.) AIM

I actually miss the days where I would run off the bus after school to Instant Message my 3 friends that I was just with for the last 8 hours. "Hi" "Hi "wu?" "nm jc u?" "same" "cool".

2.) Crocs

Yes, there was a time that these were considered a sensible fashion accessory. Also, you'd have to stick a few "Crocs Buttons" in the holes on the top to add a little flare.

3.) Webkinz/Club Penguin

I wonder if my puffles are still alive?

4.) Juicy Couture Sweatsuits

You were lucky if you were rich enough to own both the top and bottoms, but usually you just had the sweatshirt.

5.) The Wii

When everyone ignored all the warnings to wear the wristband and flung the remote into their TV.

6.) The Motorola Razr

You were the coolest kid in school if you had one of these.

7.) The iPod Shuffle

Not one of Apple's better ideas. Why would you not want to know which Jonas Brother's song you were listening to?

8.) Heely's

Getting yelled at multiple times in the grocery stores for zooming up and down the aisles wearing these bad boys.

9.) Dance Dance Revolution

You never did make it to expert level.

10.) Rubber Wristbands

You had to pile them all up your arm until you reached your elbow, or until you were cutting off your circulation.

11.) Myspace

Do you remember who your Top 8 were?

12.) Fergie

She was in her prime when she decided to go solo. The Dutchess album was on continuous repeat on my CD player for the entire year.

13.) Layers upon layers of clothing

Because one tank top was just not enough.

14.) The Uggs and skirt combo

It never actually looked good.

15.) High School Musical everything

Troy and Gabriella 4ever!

16.) Hannah Montana

Oh Miley, what happened to you?

17.) Weird Al remixes

You probably knew all the lyrics to this song, but not the actual one.

18.) And never forget inflatable furniture

Who wouldn't want a plastic couch filled with air? How comfortable!!

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.

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.
