Life as a child is something that we always remember no matter how old we get. Days as a child were filled with food, play, sleep and more food. Whether it's special holiday, moving on to the next grade or finally getting a license, sometimes we as kids didn't enjoy or experience the moments we lived through because we were constantly thinking about the next adventure. Everyone can admit that at least once during their childhood, they were wishing away time to reach another milestone. Since we've all been kids before, let's do a bit of reminiscing. Here are five things we all miss from our childhood.
1. Cartoons
For as long as TV has been around, cartoons were always a large part of everyone's childhood. Whether it was my personal favorite, "Scooby-Doo," or classics like "Popeye" and "Tom and Jerry," every child had their fix on at least one TV program. Cartoons are still as relevant as they've ever been, however everyone feels that their generations 'toons were always classics.
2. School
Going to school as a child, specifically elementary school, was always something that I looked forward to. Many of my earliest and fondest memories of my life as a child were made at my elementary school. Not only was this a great place for kids to enjoy and make friends, but it was also VERY easy compared to life in high school or college.
3. All the time in the world
One fun activity was always replaced by another when I was at a young age. A kid could come home from school and enjoy doing whatever they wanted to do for the remainder of the day. During a life with no homework, finals or deadlines to constantly worry about, children have all of the time in the world.
4. Innocence
There was never much we had to worry about as children except for who was going to be line leader or who was the best at recess kickball. As I've gotten older, I have realized that the golden thing about childhood is that we're so unaware of all of the travesties of life that we're able to enjoy it more.
5. Friends
The last and final thing we all miss from our childhood is our friends. At a young age, the relationship between you and your friend was very simple. It was likely that you two had similar interests and a play date was the only thing needed to keep you together. Often, it wasn't the changing times that tore you and a friend apart, but they may have simply moved on to a new life.
