You Know You Are A 2000s Kid When...

Here's to those of us who are too young to consider ourselves "90s kids" but can't relate to today's kids.

You Know You Are A 2000s Kid When...
PopSugar

If you were born in mid-to-late 1990s, you probably don't know where you stand generation-wise; we're stuck in the middle between the 90s and 2000s. With that said, you know you're a 2000s kid when...

1. You Played Outside

Any free minute you had after school and during the weekend was spent outside with the neighborhood kids.

2. You Remember September 11

Maybe you were in kindergarten, first grade or too young to have very clear memories, but the effects are unforgettable: we barely remember a time when traveling wasn't filled with TSA rules and chaos. We grew up knowing nothing but the US going to war and international conflicts.

3. You Had a Horrible Sense of Style

Abercrombie, Livestrong bracelets, jelly bracelets, skinny jeans, those awful trucker hats, band T-shirts...Should I keep going?

4. You Remember When The First iPod Came Out


And then the iPhone and every Apple product later released.

5. You Had to Physically Roll Down Your Own Windows

We all had great arms as kids. No pushing the button for us.

6. You Watched TRL

Where else would we listen to all of our favorite top hits? We were all devastated when it was cancelled as MTV started to become only reality shows.

7. You Got Excited When Your School Got The New "High-Tech" Flatscreen Dell Computers

The computer lab looked like something out of the future to our little eyes.

8. You Learned Phonics in Elementary School

How else would we have learned how to read?

9. Choosing Your MySpace Song And Background Was Everything


You wanted to have the coolest profile out of everyone you knew.

10. You Didn't Have To Adult

No bills, no work and no grown-up worries. You just let your parents take care of everything.

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.
