Millsberry Memories

I was a member for seven years. You can't beat that kind of commitment.

"Millsberry" was before "Club Penguin" and "Webinz." It was an online world that allowed you to be an adult without being one in real life. The games were fun and the achievements were a million times better. But, it all ended in 2011 when the site shut down. Therefore, as a former "Millsberry" addict and to all the other "Millsberry" addicts out there, here are my 11 best "Millsberry" memories. Trust me, there are definitely way more!

1. The neighborhoods.

The neighborhood you chose to live in determined your personality for the entirety of your virtual life! Five neighborhoods = choose wisely! Ravenwood, where mystery is your middle name. Lakeview, where you believe in the existence of the Loch Ness monster. Golden Valley, where making money is your game. Westridge, all about a plain and simple exterior. Metro Park, only for the outdoorsy people.

2. The arcade.

Countless games meant countless hours in front of the computer screen. Why? Because you were bound and determined to win that trophy and the prize money!

Hop 'n Drop was where it was at!

3. Building your house.

Choosing the neighborhood to live in was a challenge, but building and designing your house was excruciating. But, building floors in your house made you feel like an architect. After all, nothing got you more excited than adding a new room.

4. Cleanliness.

Whether it started in the bathroom with you brushing your buddy's teeth, or in the refrigerator as you fed them some water, Millsberry was all about good hygiene and cleanliness. After all, your buddy wouldn't interact with others if they smelled like week-old socks! Hygiene and exercise: it was life or death!

5. Savvy shopping.

You learned to pick your style at the furniture store while also choosing all the sugary sweets (plus the occasional vegetable) at the local grocery store!

6. Scavenging.

You fine-tuned your scavenging skills when it came to yard sales!

7. One word: trophies.

Rooms were cool, but trophies were cooler. In fact, I even had a room dedicated to all of my Sherman's Home Run Derby trophies.

8. Pets!

You were allowed to buy a pet, which ultimately taught you about responsibility.

9. Downtown Millsberry.

Downtown Millsberry was your home away from home. It was where everything was, such as the grocery store, the arcade and the bookstore.

10. The buddy.

Your buddy was who you really wanted to be. They could have any hairstyle and crazy-colored hair your heart desired. Not to mention the endless amounts of clothes your buddy could wear, all at the touch of a button.

11. Millsberry Academy.

Going to school! Why? So I can get a trophy! Millsberry Academy was where you got lunch, learned hygiene, learned about sports, and focused on graduating. Even though it was an online community/game, Millsberry Academy ensured that you still knew a thing or two.

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.
