Admit it, you would do anything to go back to the days of having your very own desk in a classroom filled to the rim with the school supplies that you carefully picked out with your mom over the summer. Nothing would beat the days where your teacher allowed a half hour of the day to be dedicated to cleaning and organizing your desk. The stress of wondering if your folders should go on the right or left side was real. Amidst all of the excitement, independence, and freedom that came along with having your own desk, what you actually put in your desk was far more important. Here are the items that you could find in every girl's desk when she was in elementary school:
1. Pens with fur
Don't ask me why these were so cool, but you know that you owned one in literally every color.
2. Tamagotchis
This was absolutely essential to keep in your desk so you could play when the teacher wasn't looking. Can't let the little guy go hungry...
3. Webkinz
Honestly, there was no point of bringing these to school at all but I swear, these were our lives and for some reason, they had to go everywhere with us.
4. Kooky Pens
A kooky pen was easily one of the most important objects I have ever owned. Nothing topped collecting these and more importantly, making sure you didn't have the same ones as the other girls in your class.
5. Gel Pens
Now these I would love to see make a comeback.
6. Snap Bracelets
Admit it, you had a collection of these in your desk and would change them based on what you were wearing that day (you also spent the rest of the day slapping your wrist with it instead of paying attention in class).
7. Gogurt
Freeze one these overnight, leave it in your desk until morning snack time... perfect temperature and consistency.
8. Silly Bandz
I feel like this doesn't need an explanation...we all feel the same amount of regret over these.
9. Character folders
The hardest part of back-to-school shopping was always picking out folders. "Hannah Montana," "Cheetah Girls," or "High School Musical"? These folders represented you. They were your identity.
10. iPod Nano
Loaded full of all of the classics: "Hey, Soul Sister", "Dynamite", and "Tik Tok".
11. "I <3 JB" doodles
Congratulations, we are the generation who witnessed "JB" stand for both The Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber.
12. Giant erasers
These seriously didn't erase anything. Yet, somehow we still had to have a million of them.
13. Crayola 50 Pack
You weren't a somebody until you had this pack with the 12 scented markers. Facts.
