Feeling Nostalgic, I Bought A Gameboy Advance SP To Relive My Childhood

While sitting in my room during this unprecedented time, I looked back on the simple days of my childhood and thought about the toys I had when I was wee little thing. Leapfrog's LeapPad, Bratz Dolls, you name it. There was this one handheld that I vividly remember. I used to play on it for hours until my parents told me to do something more constructive. That was the Gameboy Advance SP.

After the nostalgic moment I had, I immediately went onto eBay and bought the handheld in the color pink, along with the game, Bratz Rock Angelz. I received the game first and I waited in anticipation for that Gameboy. A few days later, my Pink Gameboy Advance SP finally arrived and the nostalgia kicked in. I played the first level with ease but when it came to that dreaded skateboard game, I had to go to my sister to help me out, just like the good ol' days. Outside of that, I love customizing the four main characters After purchasing and playing the game for a short time, I purchased two more Gameboy games.

The Urbz: Sims in the City and Sonic Advance 3 were other games I played as a child. Even though Bratz Rock Anglez was my favorite game, Sonic Advance 3 was the first-ever Gameboy game I've ever played. I would always play as Sonic and Tails (they were the only unlocked characters), collect rings, and try to defeat Dr. Eggman, The Urbz: Sims in the City was actually a game that my older sister owned but I would play in from time to time, by creating my own character, completing tasks, and defeating Daddy Bigbucks.

I'm glad that nostalgic thought came to me. The Gameboy Advance SP was a treasure from my childhood and I'm glad it came back into my life. I'm not that much of a gamer but I enjoy the feeling of playing through the same levels when I was a child. Buying the handheld and the games really brought me back to the much simpler days, in which I didn't have to worry about adult things. I know that I'm a full-fledged adult that has to pay taxes and get a stable job, it won't stop me from going back into my childhood and reliving it. It's good to look back and reminisce about a time that true to you.

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.

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.

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.
