Back in the day, when Internet Explorer was a thing, when the internet was always slow, when computer monitors were dinosaurs compared to today's sleek Retina display technology, these online games were everything. Whenever my mom gave my sister and me the "OK" to use the computer, we would go straight to these websites and take turns playing these nostalgic Flash games.

1. DisneyChannel.Disney.com

"Bueno Rufus"

"Lizzie McGuire Dress Up"

"A Sitch In Time"

2. CartoonNetwork.com

" Summer Resort"

"Courage the Cowardly Dog Creep TV"

"Powerpuff Girls Pillow Fight Game"

Fortunately, you can still play some of these games on CartoonNetwork.com/games.

3. Barbie.com

In 2001:

In 2004:

" Barbie of Swan Lake"

4. MyScene.com

"Shopping Spree"

Some of the games are still around, even though the actual website isn't.

5. PollyPocket.com

"Dolphin Ride"

They still have some of the old Polly Pocket games on the official Polly Pocket website.

6. Nickelodeon.com

"Fry Cook Flip Out"

"The Rugrats Escalator Escape" Game

7. NickJr.com

"Oswald's Specials of the Day"

8. Neopets.com

While this website is still very much alive today, Neopia Central is just a bit more updated than the one we saw as kids.

In the early 2000s:

Today:

9. Divastarz.com

The Diva Starz dolls were only popular for a short amount of time, between 2000 and 2004, but I definitely spent hours on these games choosing the perfect shoes to go with the cutest outfits when my sister wasn't around to play dolls with.

While dealing with slow Internet connection was certainly a struggle, these online games were definitely my childhood.

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.

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.

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.
