We all get a little nostalgic sometimes - we think about how much easier life was when we were children with no responsibilities. Well, let's revisit some of those happy memories by remembering some of our favorite childhood toys.

This one's for you, 90s kids!

1. Bop It

This game was great, especially when passing it around with friends. Your biggest fear was being the one to lose the game for everyone.

2. Furby

These things were everywhere. Even McDonald's got on board and put them in their Happy Meals. But let's be honest, Furbies were just plain creepy.

3. Easy Bake Oven

The commercials for these made the food look amazing - we all had to have an Easy Bake Oven! Sadly, the desserts never really came out the way they looked on TV.

4. Nintendo Game Boy

From the color, to the advance, to the SP, these were simply the best. We were entertained for hours (probably our parents' favorite toy).

5. Skip It

The perfect outdoor toy...until they hit you in the ankles. Worst. pain. ever.

6. Tamagotchi

Keeping a Tamagotchi alive may have been more difficult than keeping an actual human alive.

7. Slinky

These were mesmerizing and kept us busy for hours...until they got tangled up. Then there was no going back.

8. Doodle Bear

Did anyone else sign these at friends' birthday parties?!

9. Etch A Sketch

These were all fun and games...until you messed up once and had to start all over.

10. Moon Shoes

Honestly, the commercials for these made them look much more fun than they really were.

Where did the time go?!

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

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.
