An Ode To the 2000s

What do you mean the 90s weren't 10 years ago?

The 2000s was easily one of the most iconic times for pop-culture. Most of us owe our childhood to this wonderful decade. It's very nostalgic to think about and look back on, but most of the time it just makes me laugh because everything was so simple yet so ridiculous. Here are some of the best things the 2000s had to offer:

1. The Music.

You probably had posters of Jesse McCartney and the Jonas Brothers covering the walls of your room, or maybe you had an emo phase and strictly listened to My Chemical Romance, The All-American Rejects, and Panic! at The Disco (we've all been there). But the 2000s had some of the best music out there, whether they be one-hit wonders or artists that were just getting started.

2. The Movies.

From High School Musical to Camp Rock, we could thank Disney Channel for movies that we still love to this day. We had the "Harry Potter" series and "Twilight" that made people go absolutely crazy because of how good they were. "She's the Man", "Mean Girls", and many others were all our favorite movies at some point. Special shoutout to my favorite childhood movie, Hairspray.

3. The TV Shows.

"Drake and Josh", "iCarly", "Zoey 101", "Hannah Montana", "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody", etc. Need I say more?

4. The Fashion.

Looking back, it was kind of tragic. My outfit that made me think I looked like a model included a Bobby Jack t-shirt, plaid capris, and wedge flip flops. Oh and don't forget all of the army clothing, gaucho pants, and sequin purses from Limited Too. Not even kidding, the picture below is the exactly the kind of outfits I wore.

5. The Toys.

Barbie who? I had probably one Barbie doll, but way too many Bratz Dolls, Polly Pocket, and Webkinz. Every time I saw a commercial for a new toy I'd immediately want it and put it on my Christmas list, even if it was only June.

Aside from all the jokes, it's safe to say we all love and miss the 2000s. We can thank the decade for an amazing childhood and also for allowing us to memorize every song in High School Musical 1, 2, and 3.

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.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
