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.

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
