10 Items You Wanted 10 Years Ago

Give me a pink RAZR or give me death.

10 Items You Wanted 10 Years Ago
CBS

10 years ago, it was all about who had the coolest gadget on the bus ride home, who wore the hippest shoes that somehow got around dress code and who was the first to get a cell phone in your class. Here are 10 items you begged for, and if you were an only child, you might have squeezed out of your parents during a moment of weakness:

1. Coach Tennis Shoes

Oh, the nouveau riche brands that wreaked havoc on the middle 2000s. If you wanted a pair of shoes to perfectly compliment khaki shorts and Abercrombie polo, look no further.


2. Ed Hardy T-shirts

You definitely wanted one of these after you watched Rock of Love with Brett Michaels on VH1. So edgy. So grownup. So something you shouldn't have been watching.


3. Chanel Earrings

These DEFINED classy in 2006, amiright? If you got them, they were probably fake, but nobody needed to know that...

4. Colored iPod Nano

Pink meant you were girly, blue meant you were cool and green meant you quirky. If you had a plain silver one you might as well have just used a Walkman.

5. Dooney and Bourke Barrel Bag

Like the saying goes: the closer to the armpit the closer to God.


6. Jersey Gaucho Pants

So breezy! So effortless! Pair with ballet flats and a bolero/cami duo and you were ready for the 7th grade dance.


7. LG Chocolate

If you’re anything like me, you can still hear “Candyman” by Christina Aguilera playing during the commercial.


8. Portable DVD Player

You could take it everywhere, your room, the back row of the minivan—it just made so much sense.


9. LiveStrong Bracelets

My school outlawed them, which leads me to wonder, did they know Lance Armstrong was doping years before we did?


10. ~*The Gold RAZR*~

The crème de la crème. You knew one person who had this, and it just set them a level above. You might’ve had the pink or silver one, but you were a plebian.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
