20 Unforgettable Things That Prove 00's Babies Had The Best Childhood
Lauren Swanson

As I soothe myself from eating my feelings, developing a coffee addiction the other day, I began regressing back into childhood and started listing items in my head that I remembered...

My generation, the “Millennials,” spent the late '90s and early 2000’s living off bagel bites and drinking Sunny D.

Here are some of the things I remember deeply...

1. Tamagotchis

They’re $34 on Amazon guys, so hop on that deal. (Or 99 cents in the app store!)

2. Trix cereal used be shaped like this...

From Fruit to Balls.... What happened?!?!?!

Does anyone remember the yogurt as well?!?!?!

3. "Aqua-Pods" Water Bottle

I live in Texas so the water bottle brand that had these were Ozarka...

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE TWISTY CAP AS WELL...

4. VEGGIES TALES!!!!

Let’s be honest, we still watch this… Well, we did until Netflix took it off.

But if you were Christian going up... You knew Sunday school was gonna be great if they had VeggieTales on...

And they expect us to pay $9.99 now.

Alas, Larry Boy is still goals.

5. The Video Store

Pre-DVD and Pro-Blockbuster, Friday nights were spent scouring the section for that one VHS you had already seen 300 times while your parents picked out yet another Cameron Diaz romantic comedy.

6. Ferbies

Our first best friends.

7. Mighty Beanz

"What are they suppose to do?!?!"- Five year old me


8. "Gripz"

I USED TO THINK THE COMMERCIAL FOR THESE WERE SO COOL... YOU KNOW THE ONE WHERE THEY CAUGHT THEM WITH THEIR MOUTH AS THEY THREW THEM UP

9. Juicy Juice and Apple & Eve

Mmm...that artificial sugar.

10. "Trudy's Time and Place House"

Also featuring "Millie's Math House" and "Sammy's Science House!" These virtual friends gifted me with so much of the general knowledge that I have today.

11. Gym Scooters

12. Parachutes

Whether you were the cat, the mouse or one of the kids vigorously shaking the parachute, gym class and / or story hour was always bangin’ when your teacher brought this out of his / her office.

13. Neopets

Literally the only reason to have gone to McDonald's was to get that plush with that code... Yes. I remember webkinz.... But only many webkinz my parents could buy while still stuff was free and less regulated.

14. Looking up to Amanda Bynes as a powerful female role model.

15. Scholastic Book Fairs

Get the catalog in school, experience an adrenaline rush as you browse every product, take it home, circle all of the "Mercer Mayer Little Critter" books, beg your parents for money and come home the next day with a Spongebob poster, a long-ass pencil and an eraser shaped like a crayon.

16. Special Announcements

They came after lunch announcements (thank God for Pizza Fridays!) and before the Pledge of Allegiance. You better hope that your name isn’t called down to the office...unless it's your birthday!

17. Wonder Balls

No words needed.

18. Red Rover

Red rover, red rover, send money right over.

19. Bobby Jack and Happy Bunny Shirt

I was that annoying 9-year-old girl that constantly wore these...

These shirts are probably why my generation is so "vain..."

20. Go-gurts

"Good to the last drop."

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
