Oh, the young innocent days of elementary school. Everything was so brand new to us and the fears of adulthood weren't even a speck in our minds. We all wish with all of our hearts that we could go back to those days where naps were a typical occurrence and our parents were the only ones who worried about bills and work.
Here are a few things to jog our memories about the past and bring us to the good old days.

1. Your pencil case defined who you were.
Whether is was metal or plastic, solid color or multicolored, big or small, your pencil case was an expressive way to show off your personality!
2. Hand games.
Concentration, Patty Cake, Miss Susie Had A Baby and all the classics.
3. Having a super long list of school supplies to get in the summer.
It was an exciting time getting all new supplies that you're able to use throughout the school year.
4. Always having to line up.
You had to line up before going anywhere and if you were lucky and got to be line leader that day, you felt like the coolest kid.
5. Gym class consisted of running and these scooters:
God forbid you ran over your finger with one of these because you're out for the whole day.
6. Show and Tell.
Bringing in your favorite toy or the latest work of art you produced and bragging about it in front of your classmates was pretty cool.
7. Book Fairs.
Book fairs were always the best and it made you excited to read!
8. Having the worst pair of scissors.
These were the worst and they more ripped the paper than actually cut them.
9. Valentine's Day
This took all night to prepare and yes, you even had to give cards to the kids you didn't like.
10. Chocolate Milk from the Cafeteria.
These were a very hot commodity and it was the best two sips of your life.
11. Tetherball.
This is where boys became men, where friendships were truly tested. Every man for himself.
