When thinking about childhood, a lot of things stand out. I think about playing at recess and games like four square, tag, and other random made up ones come to mind. I remember all toys I played with, like Barbies and Webkinz. While these are important parts of my childhood, I think what stands out most was all the awesome snacks and foods I used to eat when I was a kid, some of which aren't even made anymore. Here's a huge list of nostalgic snacks!!

1. Dunkaroos

I'm honestly so sad that these ever disappeared because they were the highlight of my lunch box in elementary school. What's better than dipping cookies into icing? Nothing.

2. Yogos

Even if you didn't even really like yogurt as a kid, these things were still so good.

3. Push Up Pops

Anytime the ice cream truck came around, I was getting one of these. They're so much better than regular popsicles.

4. Wax Bottles

5. Mini Doritos and Cheetos Asteroids

I used to always get these in my Easter basket and I was so excited.

6. Colored Ketchup

The thought of this now is honestly disgusting, but when I was a kid I thought this was the coolest thing ever.

7. Hugs


You knew a birthday party was gonna be good if you saw a cooler full of these things.

8. Cookies & Twix

9. Bug Juice

Every time I went on a road trip with my family and we stopped at a gas station for drinks, I'd get this

10. Kudos Bars

11. Wonder Balls

12. Slush Puppies

Every time I went to the pool as a kid I had to get one of these.

13. Gripz

14. Danimals

I don't know about you, but I drank these like nobody's business.

15. (Real) Trix

If you don't remember Trix actually being shaped like fruits, you're too young for me. And you never had real Trix cereal.

16. Bugles

I think they still make these, but I haven't had them in years. You're lying if you say you never put these on your fingers and pretended you were a witch.

17. Kool-Aid Bursts

They still sell these and I still buy them and I don't care because they're amazing and remind me so much of my childhood. Kool-aid bursts > Kool-aid jammers.

18. Pudding Pops

I don't even like pudding but these things were addicting. I'm pretty sure they got rid of them and I really wanna know why because they were the best.

19. Skittles Gum

20. Juice Bars

One word: amazing.

21. BUBBLE GUM

Everyone, myself included, was obsessed with bubble gum when I was a kid.

22. Breadsticks and Cheese

23. Shaped Ice Cream

Maybe it was just me who ate these and looked for them every year around Christmas, but regardless, I loved them.

24. These things!!!

I don't know what these are called. All I can come up with is "those fruit shaped containers that had straight up candy powder in them." I used to love these.

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.
