Remember the days when heading to school, neon My Little Pony lunchbox in hand, at eight a.m was the hardest part of your day?

You got dropped off in car line and headed to your classroom to be greeted with a morning To-Do list that had to be done by the time the morning news came on. In the moment, nap times sucked and staying up late was a gift sent from above. Now, sitting here sleep deprived, we wish we could go back to the days of homework passes and recess.

Here are 19 things everyone remembers from their public elementary school days:

1. Limited Too.

The only place with the trendy clothes

2. Tamagotchis.

This was everyones' first child.

3. The Book Fair.

Dog posters for days.

4. Meet the teacher night.

Aka, see if all your BFFs are in your class.

5. Single-File lines.

If you aren't the leader, who are you?

6. Multiplication timed test.

Honestly the most stressful 90 seconds of your career.

7. Rainbow parachute during P.E.

WOOHOO!

8. M.A.S.H.

Married to Troy Bolton with five kids in a mansion driving a garbage truck and working as a teacher.

9. Earning "Student of the Month."

Mom better put this sticker on the back of her car!

10. The recorder.

Hottt, Crossss, Bunssss.

11. Cosmic Brownies.

You either had none, or you had 12 for all your lunch table peeps.

12. "S."

The "S."

13. THE behavior chart.

*gets moved to the red zone*... "I swear mom, my teacher hates me!"

14. Tech Decks.

Hey bro, can you do an ollie?

15. Pencil Grips.

Pink gooey with a dash of sparkle.

16. 5th grade Safety Patrol.

Look at you all authoritative in your neon yellow safety belt.

17. Heads Up, Seven Up.

A game every, single substitute teacher knew.

18. Recess.

You better sprint to the swings.

19. NintenDogs.

They dead.

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.
