10 Things You Remember If You Grew Up In The Early 2000s

pinterest.com

1. Listening to music on your CD player because that meant that you were officially ~cool~

My favorite CD pick alternated between Avril Lavigne and The Cheetah Girls... I know, I have great taste

2. Furbies -- in all their creepy glory.

Is it just me or did anyone else get the feeling that they were always... watching? :(

3. Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape

This stuff undoubtedly rotted our teeth but who cares, it was IN.

4. Speaking of candy that rotted our teeth, who else remembers Wonder Balls?????

The candy with a very inventive name choice... and it was always a yummy surprise.

5. Light up shoes

Who even were you if you didn't rock a pair of these???

6. Tamagotchis

Bonus points if you wore them around your neck on a lanyard.

7. NSYNC

If Bye Bye Bye wasn't your jam, then I don't know what to tell you.

8. Nickelodeon

Cartoons and shows such as The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, etc.

9. Watching your favorite Disney movies on VHS.

10. You wanted to grow up and couldn't wait for the day to be an edgy teen/young adult, but now that you've reached that point you think of how nice it would be to go back to a more carefree time of your life...

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

Marywood University

2906

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

Queen B always had the best life lessons.

It's okay to be crazy sometimes.

You never give up on the people you love.

Always know your own worth.

Don't take shit from anyone.

Tights are not pants. But leggings might be...

It's always okay to break down once in a while.

There's nothing that can't be solved by a shopping spree

Stay classy, even if you're pissed off.

You never need to act on your emotions.

No matter how rough it gets, it could always be worse.
