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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
