If Your Latest Crush Doesn't Know About These 12 Things, They Are Too Young For You

Nickelodeon

These things were literally staples in growing up in the early 2000s. My friends and I still have sleepovers and play on our PlayStation 2 and watch all of our Mary Kate and Ashley movies on VHS. Just thinking about people who don't know these things makes me sad for them, it just means that they are stuck in the New Age of technology and having everything you could ever think of.

I'm not talking the ones grandma gets you that have to stay in the box. I am talking the ones you played with inside, in the pool, in the tree house, literally anywhere you and your friends went, they went with you.

2. The Amanda Show

Giphy

If I can't reference 'Totally Kyle' or 'The Girls Room' something is wrong.

3. Memory Cards for the Play Station

The pure horror of not remembering which card you saved your game on.

4. Phones that NEVER Shattered, or Died

Giphy

And when snake was the only game that you could play.

5. Having to actually REWIND the tape to watch from the beginning

Giphy

If you were cool enough, you had a machine that did if for you and you didn't have to hold down the button and close your eyes so you didn't see the movie in reverse.

6. The STRUGGLE of having to make your own ankle sock

Literally, what were ankle socks?

7. The struggle of Blockbuster

Giphy

Just imagine, you FINALLY pick the one movie you want to watch only to find out that all of the copies have been rented.

8. The awesomeness that is Mr. Feeny

Giphy

Principal. Teacher. Neighbor. So many times he was able to give us the best words of advice.

9. The heartbreak of forgetting to feed your first pet

Giphy

You cry and get a new one all in the same week. And then forget about it again in a couple of days. Maybe this is why all of our parents were reluctant to get us pets...

10. Having to know ALL of the songs on the CD in order

You knew which track your favorite song was so you could skip to it and listen to it first.

11. Making sure you downloaded the RIGHT song the first time

And trying to hide your illegally downloaded music from your parents.

12. Where 'The Rock' got his name from

Giphy

I literally had somebody ask me, "Have you ever noticed that Dwayne Johnson and 'The Rock' look identical?"

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Huffington Post

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

8 Things That Anyone Who Went To A Small School Knows

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

Essex County, NJ

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

1921

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
