20 Gifts Found On My 2000's Christmas List
Gazette Review

With Christmas comes nostaliga, and I can't help but remember what I used to ask Santa for. So here is my list of 20 things that were definitely on your list as a 00's kid.

Maybe you can relate:

1. Tamagotchi

These handheld pets were every middle schoolers obsession, during lunch you could make your Tamagotchi "mate" with your friend's to have a baby!

2. Polly Pocket

A play date without Polly Pocket? Unheard of. Bonus points if you scored this stretch-limo underneath your Christmas Tree - equipped with a Jacuzzi in the back and outfits for Polly to wear on her night out on the town.

3. Webkinz

These plush little toys were equipped with access codes which allowed kids access to an online world filled with arcade games, home-design, and pampering your pet. During the 2000's the more Webkinz you had, the better.

4. HitClip

Before iPods were around and every young kid had cell phones, HitClips were the way to listen to the greatest hits of the time like NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Britney Spears.

5. Dream Life Console

A more PG-Version of the Sims, Dream Life was a console you could hook up to your television in order to control the "Dream Life" of you have always wanted: go to school, hangout with your friends, and change your hair whenever you want - your destiny is in the controller!

6. Rock Band

In my humble opinion, you were either a die hard Rock Band fan or you jammed out on its competitor... Guitar Hero.

7. Guitar Hero


Guitar Hero was my JAM in middle school, if you could figure out how to use the orange guitar key you were a legend. The best part about Guitar Hero was how you could customize your guitar and character the better you got; rocking out in my living room was not too bad either.

8. Easy-Bake Oven

Using this handy-dandy Easy-Bake Oven, I made some pretty questionable baked goods like cookies, cakes, and brownies. Powered by a light bulb, this toy made every kid during the 00's feel like they were "grown up" because they could make their own treats.

9. Game Boy Advance

My Game Boy Advance was my first real experience with video games. My go to games were Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers - absolute classics.

10. Nintendo DS (Lite Coral Edition)

The day I got my pink Nintendo DS I cried - that meant I could spend hours playing Cooking Mama and Nintendogs meanwhile sporting my favorite color (PINK).

11. Furby

No clue why these creepy guys were an obsession for our generation, but for some reason we all had them.

12. Razor Scooter

You want to meet at the bus stop with your neighborhood pals? Hopefully you'll find this whip under your Christmas tree.

13. Heelys or DC's

Or, even better...

14. Happy Feet

There was no shoe comfier than Happy Feet, and every school had that one kid that wore them as real shoes when they were better off leaving those stinky things at home.

15. Pixel Chix

A more sophisticated spin-off of the Tamagotchi, Pixel Chix were digitized characters who lived inside these handheld homes. Kids could dictate what their Pixel Chix did throughout the day such as food, fashion, and socializing. If your friend has a Pixel Chix you could stack the houses to let your Pixel Chix "have a party".

16. Littlest Pet Shop Playhouse

Littlest Pet Shop was what everyone collected in middle school, you would collect hundreds of these tiny little bobble head animals and could put them in all sorts of playsets due to the massive amounts of variety the company produced. The online website to play with your pets came out way after I left middle school.

17. Robot Dog

This little guy was on everyone's Christmas list in the 2000's, he could bark, walk around, AND teach him tricks it was like having your own dog without having to beg your parents to let you bring a furry friend home.

18. The Sims

Unwrapping The Sims you knew that you were about to have no life for the next few weeks, no game was more entertaining than this virtual reality game played either on Nintendo, computer, or console.

19. Lite Brite

The Lite Brite was a classic when I was a kid, you could create glowing designs with the hope that the little plastic pieces would stay in place so you could show off your masterpiece.

20. Barbie Airplane

One of the best Christmas gifts I ever received, the Barbie Airplane came equipped with reclining chairs, the stewardess' cart, and a telecom.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
