6 Grade School Fads We Really Miss

If you were in grade school school during the early 2000s then there's a really good chance you had one or all of these.

1. Mighty Beans

There was nothing more fun than trading these little bad boys with your friends on the school yard. opening up your zippered collection and replacing them in their little holders.

2. Hollister Zip Up Sweaters

Let's be real we all went through the "Hollister is the coolest store in the world". In elementary school if you didn't have a Hollister sweater, then you were doing something wrong.

3. Tamagotchi's

Literally one of the greatest toys ever, am I right?! Everyone had one or more of these. I remember hiding them in my pencil case during class just to feed them. They were so addicting me and my friends couldn't put them down. And every time a new generation came out we were always the first to go to Toys R Us and get it!

4. GameCube

One of the best video game systems, you could watch tv with it, play GameBoy games, etc. I remember so much time sitting around a tv playing Super Monkey Ball and Sims.

5. Water yoyo's

These were a kind of short lived fad because they eventually came out to be poisonous or so I remember. BUT when they had their time every kid in the school year had one wrapped around their finger.

6. Webkinz

My friends and I had probably over 50 Webkinz each, if they weren't your life did you have a childhood!? Spending hours playing online with your stuffed animals definitely started a lot of our internet obsessions.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
