10 Off-The-Air Nickelodeon Shows I Miss

Nickelodeon was one of my favorite TV channels as a kid. Now, while looking through the channel's shows, there's always almost nothing on air that I would like to watch. Henry Danger? Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn? Thanks, but I'll pass. I miss the good 'ol days of Nickelodeon, when the real shows were aired. Here is 10 of the best Nickelodeon TV shows that I still miss today.


1. Drake & Josh
Drake and Josh were the best step-brothers ever. As polar opposites, they were always creating hilarious situations with each other. And....MEGAN! We always wished we could be as deviously evil as her.


2. The Wild Thornberrys

The Wild Thornberrys was a SMASHING hit. Everyone loved Nigel best. We all relate to the dramatic Debbie today, Eliza was always messing things up, and Donnie was basically not human. They were a dysfunctional family but we would not have loved it any other way.


3. Catdog

Cat and Dog were TV's weirdest conjoined brothers....let me say that again, brothers. One a cat, one a dog. Brothers. But we never questioned it. This TV show left us with a lot of unanswered biological questions.


4. The Amanda Show

The Amanda Show was basically SNL for kids, but weirder. We laughed at the every one of the stupid sketched-The Kyle Show, Judge Trudy...and we always waited for THE DANCING LOBSTERS.

5. Hey Arnold!

We all loved the shy football-head Arnold. He was street smart and we wanted to be friends with him. We all thought Helga was pretty bold, being rude to Arnold but secretly being in love with him.


6. Mr. Meaty

Maybe I really do not miss Mr. Meaty, but it deserved to be on this list. It was the first of its kind on Nickelodeon. It was pretty horrifying and disturbing and is probably the reason for my recurring nightmares. But if they brought it back on air, there is no doubt I would watch it again.


7. Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide

Nothing that ever happened on this show happened at your school, leaving you to think your school was obviously boring. And I cannot remember one thing from Ned's survival list that I applied to my life.


8. Danny Phantom


How his parents never noticed the fact that their shy, wall-flower kid became a ghost-hunting hero, I'll never know.


9. Zoey 101


Admit it, you were mad at your parents at one point because they would not send you to a really cool boarding school like the one from Zoey 101.


10. Rugrats

Rugrats was the highlight of Nickelodeon cartoons. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil, little baby Dil, and even Angelica were the babies you wish you could have been best friends growing up with.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
