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”.

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.
