The snacks from the 2000's were a totally different thing than they are now. Our school lunches were filled with the best food ever created (that may be dramatic, but I just loved fruit roll-ups). Here are 9 foods that were definitely in your lunchbox during grade school.

1. Pizza lunchables

You were always jealous of the kids who had these. And whenever you mom did pack these for you, it was like Christmas.

2. Sunny D

Why drink regular orange juice when you can drink Sunny D?

3. Fruit Roll-Ups

These were the bane of my existence. There were so many different colors and flavors and some of them had tattoos you could put on your tongue. Whatever genius us behind these is truly a revolutionary.

4. Bugels

You're lying if you say you never put them on your fingers and pretended to be a witch.

5. Fruit by the foot

Totally delicious. Just a foot of leathered fruit.

6. Hi-C

Only the orange flavor, of course.

7. Dunkaroos

The holy grail of sweet snacks.

8. Bug Juice

I don't even remember what these tasted like, I just remember always begging my parents to buy them for me when I saw them.

9. Trix yogurt

Two flavors in one, right next to each other. It's truly the best of both worlds.

10. Ring Pops

You definitely proposed to someone using a ring pop.

11. Cosmic Brownies

Those rainbow sprinkles were the only thing you needed to get through the rest of the school day.

12. Fun Dip


Your fingers would be sticky all day from this, but it was always so worth it.

13. Gushers

These were delicious enough, but then the surprise inside of the gusher made them a whole new snack that you never wanted to give up.

14. Push Pops

These were really weird. It was pretty much just hard candy in a different form, but we were convinced they were extremely innovative. Still delicious.

15. Twinkies

Last, but certainly not least, these were the motherlode. When Hostess went out of business, my life was ruined.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
