10 Websites From Your Childhood (That You Probably Forgot About)

As a kid, I loved a lot of things--but one of my favorite things to do was surfing the web with my sister. We found the best websites to waste our time on, so I thought I would share a list of my favorite websites I would visit as a kid.

1. MyScene

My best friend and I spent most of our time on www.myscene.com. We could literally spend hours dressing up the characters, giving them makeovers, and doing their nails. I have no idea how a game could be so addictive, but I am pretty sure I would still love playing all these games today as I did when I was younger.

2. Millsberry

There were many websites a lot like this one, but Millsberry always was my personal favorite. It was always a great time when you had the chance to create a version of yourself online, and be able to play in a virtual world.

3. Brain Pop

One of the best feelings in the world was when my middle school teacher plugged up her computer to the projector so we could watch Brain Pop videos. They actually made learning fun and were such a great part of my middle school experience.

4. Cool Math

Along with Brain Pop, www.coolmath.com was another website that helped make education seem like a game. I would play the game "Lemonade Stand" for hours and hours, and I didn't even realize I was learning math while playing it.

5. Amanda Please

The fact that this website still exists is beyond my imagination. This website is unique because it doesn't make any sense at all, but at the same time, it makes complete since to me.

5. Addicting Games

This website probably gave my parent's computer a million viruses, but it was worth it (for me at least). The endless pop-ups were annoying, but some of the best games from my childhood were on this website.

6. Disney Channel

Disney Channel's website had some entertaining games, but in my opinion, the best games included the Lizzie McGuire/Miranda dressup and the Cadet Kelly game.

7. Space Jam

There is nothing really special about this website. I am just really confused why it is still on the internet and it still works.

8. Polly Pocket

The Polly Pocket website and the MyScene website pretty much went hand in hand. Reminiscing on this website made me want to go back to the time where I collected Polly Pockets and everything was a whole lot easier.

9. Postopia

I never really thought that a website based on cereal would be cool, but as a kid, this was one of the coolest websites to go on.


10. Neopets

I saved the best for last, because Neopets was my favorite website of all time as a kid. I would be lying if I said I didn't create a Neopet the other day just so I could play Meerca Chase.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
