Phones Of Years Past

What were we thinking?

Phones Of Years Past
News Activist

Remember when technology hadn’t totally found itself yet? Like, those rough, formative years of "trying new things” and “thinking outside the box?”

Here’s a revisit of some of the most notable phones of yesteryear.

1. Tracfone

1. Who the f**k would spell ‘phone' like that?

2. This phone screams “Wal-Mart.”

3. Pay-by-the-minute. Sounds like my first girlfriend, A-YO!!!


2. The LG EnV

Double the screens, double the fun (nudes).


3. Blackberry Curve

For no reason. What kind of emails did I have to deal with? None!

I think I just liked it because it screamed “New York lawyer in pantsuit who has it all.” And that is what 10 year old Myles wanted to be.


4. Palm Treo


I will never get over this phone. Why? Because this was the phone that Danielle Panabaker and Brenda Song stole from Jason Cahill (Taran Killam) in "Stuck in the Suburbs" and it was the coolest.

RIP Jason Cahill’s hair.


*Note Jason Cahill's left hand is holding a Palm Treo.

**Note Danielle Panabaker is holding some janky ass Nokia. Ew Danielle.


5. The Old People Phone (Jitterbug)

Heaven forbid you need to call ANYONE besides an operator (wtf is that even?), a tow service or 911.

Like, do old people ONLY ever get into trouble?


6. Firefly


If you had this phone, your parents either hated you or loved you way too much.

Also, how f**king binary is this phone?! Like have you SEEN "Modern Family" Firefly? Mom or Dad? What about Mom or Mom? I might want to call Mitchell or Cam!


7. T-Mobile Sidekick

T-Mobile: If it were ever cool, it was exclusively because of this phone. Legitimately every celebrity had this phone.

Please enjoy the following: A young Miley and friend showing off their Sidekicks.

The literal coolest.


8. The RAZR

Honestly, the amount of configurations you could have this phone was ungodly. Like there was: blue, pink, silver, black, grey, red, gold, 2K gold, one with a blue light on the front, one with a music player, etc.

Also, does anyone remember the "Hello Moto" theme song? That's the shit that will haunt your dreams.

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.

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:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
