Best Parts Of The 2000s

Going to school in the 2000s was fun, but if you were interested in any of these, it made it even more fun.

Elementary school in the 2000s was made special because of the many gadgets we had to stand out from the crowd, or, allow us to fit in. If you showed interest or had any of these toys, you were part of the "in" crowd.

1. Webkinz

OK, but really, how were Webkinz not a major part of the 2000s? I can recall numerous clubs centered around how many Webkinz you even had.

2. Tamagotchis

Like Webkinz, the more you had, the cooler you were.

3. Easy Bake Ovens

These recipes may have not been the quickest to bake, but they did taste really good once they were done.

4. Clothes from Justice/Limited Too

Limited Too, where the clothes were some of cutest and most stylish you could possibly have.

5. Kids Bop

Back when Kids Bop was the best music for elementary school kids (and as good as it would ever be).

6. AIM

AIM, where your screen name and away message defined who you were, and decided who talked to you.

7. Myspace

Before Facebook became popular, if you didn't have a Myspace, you didn't have anything.

8. Portable CD Player


This was a necessity during long car rides when the only music that described your elementary school heartbreaks appropriately was a Hillary Duff CD.

9. Roller Blading/Riding Bikes on half days of school

Only the coolest parents would let you ride your bike to and from school on half days.

10. Beads for your hair

The best way to play up your style? Put these colorful beads in your hair and just watch everyone around you beam with jealousy.

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.
