The 2000s were a time that many young adults today can look back on, joyfully reminisce and somewhat cringe at the trends and the fads that we all used to love and adore. Here's a list of things from the golden 2000s that will have one feeling nostalgic about all of those times.

1. Wonderballs

One of the best candies that always seemed to catch your eyes at grocery store checkouts, leaving you begging your parents to get one.

2. iPod Nanos

The coolest and most colorful way to download your favorite boy bands and Hannah Montana jams.

3. Heelys

This magical shoe that made it fun to run errands with your parents.

4. Dance Dance Revolution.

The game that made the ultimate slumber party.

5. Silly Bandz

The more you had, the cooler you were.

6. "I love boobies" bracelets

Stack of multi-colored plastic bracelets

The breast cancer bracelets that caused quite the controversy in middle schools.

7. Crimped hair

Because why wouldn't you want your hair to look as stylish as Lizzy McGuire's?

8. The "Muffins" or "Shoes" Youtube videos.

So stupid yet so funny.

9. Club penguin

You had the best pet puffles.

10. Skip Its.

Every garage had one.

11. Bratz Dolls and Polly Pockets.

What's better than oversized eyes and rubber clothing?

12. Baby Bottle Pops

Everyone's favorite cavity-causing candy.

13. Myspace

Where you lied about your age to get on and frequently rearranged your "top friends" lists accordingly.

14. Abercrombie models

Pictures like these were hanging in your room or your Razor phone background if you are a girl, and your inspiration if you were a boy.

15. Ferby

That creepy animal thing that everyone seemed to love.

16. Nerf guns

17. Game Cube

Purple Game Cube

Where you played Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers, and more.

18. Slip 'N' Slides

The most fun you've ever had took place on one of these things.

19. Easy Bake Ovens

Where real baking did not take place.

20. Dunkaroos

The sugary snack that fit perfectly in your lunch bag.

21. Nintendo DS

Silver Nintendo DS

The life changing device you probably used to play Nintendogs.

22. Drake & Josh

You strived to be as cool as them.

23. Play-Doh

A parent's worst clean-up nightmare.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
