Everyone has those foods that they ate growing up. Those foods that you came home to after a long day of school, or that you ate when you were sad or upset to cheer you up. We all may have had different foods or versions of foods, but nonetheless, here is a list of some that bring back great memories.

1. Mother's Frosted Animal Crackers

Target

If you've never had these... I'm sorry but you didn't have a childhood. These aren't like any regular animal crackers - they're covered in pink or white frosting and topped with sprinkles. My friends and I still get giddy over buying these because of all the memories we had eating them as kids.

2. Lunchables

Ah, the classic Lunchables. I'm sure 1 in 5 kids would bring Lunchables to school. While they may not be the healthiest option, they were so much fun to "make your own food" and it was convenient for our parents. Honestly, I might go buy myself one right now – no shame.

3. Ants on a Log

I'm surprised as a kid that I wasn't grossed out eating these. Not only because it was fake ants on a log, but also because it was a combination of celery, peanut butter, and raisins... Regardless, they were tasty and always made for a great afternoon snack!

4. Girl Scout Cookies

I live for Girl Scout Cookies. Every year, my friends and I gear up for the new season and get excited to buy our box of cookies. However, most of this excitement stems from childhood memories – whether we sold them as kids, or bought them from our friends. A large part of my eagerness to buy them is because it has been a tradition since I was a child... plus it helps that they're so delicious!

5. Otterpops / Freeze pops

Otterpops are so iconic. I remember buying a huge box of them from Cosco every summer and my sister and I fighting over who got what color. They bring back so many good memories from summer breaks and I still love them today.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
