12 Things From Your Childhood That Are Still Awesome
MTV

Technological innovations have made present day so much different from our childhood. With things like the iPhone, Macbook and so on, we have lost sight of all the beautiful things in our past! Here are some things that shouldn't be forgotten!

1. Friends

The original besties, our on-screen family. Let's face it, "Friends" will always be our favorite show. The original humor and quick wit cast has a way of captivating us and warming our hearts. PTL for re-runs!!

2. Skip- It

The best way to exercise without realizing it. If you could get more than 10 skips in, then you were a pro. I might actually workout if we bring these back!

3. Hit Clips

Save your iPhone storage and battery ,and break out those Hit Clips again! Also, please play NSYNC as your first song, promise you won't regret it!

4. Razzles

If you've seen "13 Going on 30," then you know that razzles are still the bomb. Thank you to Jenna Rink for reminding us of our favorite candy!

5. Disney Movies

Beyond thankful for Disney's live action remakes bringing our favorite classics to life! I really hope Pocahontas and Snow White are next on the list!

6. Scrunchies

I don't care what you say, these work the best and are highly unappreciated! Plus, they're cute!

7. Yoo-hoo

The best chocolate drink there will ever be, of course. They're still around, but the boxed yoohoos should be in everyone's home.. no further discussion!

8. Fresh Prince of Bell-Air

This will forever be how I remember Will Smith. I applaud him on his wide variety of films and growth in acting ability, but nothing will ever beat fresh Will! Again, PTL for re-runs!

9. Wonder Balls

WHERE ARE THESE THINGS?!? Bring them back NOW!

10. Lizzie McGuire

Still wanting my own cartooned conscience like Lizzie's, and the movie!! Singing "This Is What Dreams Are Made Of" currently.

11. Barbies


Before the days of reality tv, this is where the magic happened. Barbie and Ken were always in a fight, and Theresa and Barbie were constantly hitting the city in the platinum Barbie convertible.. Ah! Those were the days!

12. Jesse McCartney

Dude, Jess, where are you? I know she's no me, but I need to hear a 2016 remake to remind me!

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
