We all wish for specific things to be brought back. Whether we wish for simpler times, old sources of humor, trends that have faded out, or for an iconic musician to still be alive. This past week the hashtag #IWantToBringBack was trending, therefore I wish for these 15 things to be brought back.

1. Mandatory awkward pre-teen phase

Since when do twelve and thirteen year-old girls look eighteen? I am mandating everyone endures some type of embarrassing phase. Emo? Perfect. Thought your make-up looked good for too long? Awesome. Thought you were good at singing? Count yourself in. Wore silly bands and had feathers in your hair? Winning.

2. The Obamas

Ya'll were too good. Sadly many Americans followed the "you don't realize what you have until it's gone" train. Come back???

3. Our ozone layer

It's only essential to a promising future for our generation's children and so on. Global warming? Never....... The polar bears never liked the snow anyways.

4. Chronological Instagram feed

5. Old Disney

6. The Office


There is no other show with such uniquely hilarious characters. All senses of humor are presented.

7. Amy Winehouse

Amy... Your music in unlike any other artist's. Your pearly whites have to be one of the most beautiful sets of teeth. Your hair was so full, luscious, and iconic. Winged-eyeliner was brought back, I wish you could be too.

8. Lower cost for education

9. Dance Dance Revolution

I cannot dance, but DDR is my sh*t.

10. Avril Lavigne

If you've read this twitter thread, you get the joke.

11. Snapchat's "best friends" list

If you had a Snapchat when there was still a "best friends" list, and you say you were never bothered by seeing someone's list, you're lying.

12. Nap time


Bring it back. Forget bringing sexy back, I need my nap time.

13. Chivalry



14. Flappy bird


We all admit the game was intense, but the game was taken too far... Hence it had to be taken down. Honestly, if I had a dollar for every time I hit one of the green poles before my score was even three, I'd be rich.

15. Kermit memes


The roasts that arose from the shade thrown passively at someone with the side dish of, "But that's none of my business though...." were legendary.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
