20 Signs You Grew Up In The Early 2000s

1. You owned 100+ Polly Pockets.

Don’t deny it.

2. The first CD you ever owned was Backstreet Boys or NSYNC.

3. You’ve seen every episode of Lizzie McGuire and owned some article of clothing related to the show

4. On that note, The Lizzie McGuire Movie changed your life.

When she SLAYS “What Dreams Are Made Of” you just can’t help but sing along (because you still know every single word). And here it is - you're welcome.


5. You were on AOL Instant Messenger 24/7.

And your username was something like “candygirl1996” (mine was squiggles96…don’t think I’ll ever live it down).

6. Classic Disney Channel is SO important to you. That’s So Raven, Suite Life, Hannah Montana…


7. You owned a Juicy tracksuit.

8. “Nobody’s Perfect” will never stop being your jam.


9. You still think of Lindsay Lohan as the person she was in the early 2000s – in other words, the girl you loved in Mean Girls and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.

10. You had big dreams to audition for American Idol.

11. The High School Musical movies gave you extremely unrealistic expectations for high school.

Sadly, everyone doesn’t actually break out into song and dance at lunch. #sticktothestatusquo, people. And remember, we’re all in this together.

12. Zanessa’s breakup destroyed your faith in love.

13. You remember a world in which we did not yet know the ending of Harry Potter.

Harry is the final horcrux? There are “deathly hallows”?? Harry named one of his kids Albus Severus??????

14. Your most prized possession was the first-edition iPod Nano or iPod Mini.

15. Livestrong bracelets practically became a black market.

You couldn’t go anywhere in my elementary school without seeing kids with their arms completely COVERED in those bracelets.

16. You still love the original JB.

(I know, this is more mid-2000s, but I couldn’t resist.)


17. You remember how bizarre it was when the first iPhone came out and how everyone had Blackberrys.

18. Drake & Josh made you wish your siblings were that fun.

19. You’re so excited about the Finding Nemo and The Incredibles sequels you don’t know what to do with yourself.

20. It freaks you out that the year 2030 is as far away as the year 2000.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
