Childhood Memories We All Have

Our childhood was all that in a bag of chips

Childhood Memories We All Have

Looking at what kids do today like play on Xbox and PlayStation, not going outside, not really knowing what real cartoons are, not experiencing the awesome stuff we had when we was growing up is upsetting. It just makes us think back to our own childhood and the blessings we had. Here are 14 things we all miss from our childhood:

1.Waking up early to watch the best cartoons

I think we can agree that the 90’s had the best cartoons.

2.The awesome toys

There were so many more toys but one of the most memorable is the skip it.

3.The original heartthrob

“Have mercy!” Uncle Jesse won over the hearts of girls everywhere.

4.The advancements in technology

Before Iphones and Xbox’s we had gameboys which was one of the biggest gaming advances ever.

5.This scene made you cry

You screamed with them, you rode bikes with them and you was terrified when the FBI came after ET. But when he goes home it was one of the first heartbreaks we’ve had.


6.These were the best plates ever

The commercials to the variety these were obviously the best thing ever.

7.Playing outside

Playing outside was the best thing to do as a kid. You never got bored and if you did you went and got into the creek.

8.The wonders of candy

Ok so the candy now is okay. But going to the grocery store and getting to pick out a piece to bring home; the variety back then was so much better.

9.Disney movies were at their peak

When a Disney original movie was about to come on you knew it was gonna be lit.

10.Dial up

The noises will forever haunt our nightmares since we have this new radical thing called wifi.

11.Always wanting one of these shoes

I actually had a pair of these and fell every time I wore them. But either way they was so cool.

12.This is your jam

Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, New Kids on The Block, Savage Garden, etc. We was blessed with the era of boy bands.

13.Blockbuster

Today's kids will never know the thrill of walking in here and picking up a movie and some of the bomb candy.

14.The fashion was the bomb dot com

Of course there was aqua net and scrunchies along with very bright colors. But I couldn’t pass up the picture of the 90’s iconic group “Friends”.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
