6 Grade School Fads We Really Miss

I can't be the only one who wishes these would come back.

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.

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.
