14 2000's Cartoons You May Have Forgotten
Cloudfront

As a 2000's kid, I legitimately miss the weekend television schedules from the last decade. Honestly, I would give anything to hold a marathon of "House of Mouse," "Teen Titans," or "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends!" Of course, in between the hit Disney cartoons and the English-dubbed anime that defined parts of my generation's childhood, there are some cartoons which have become unjustly obscure. Here are 14 cartoons from the last decade which you may have forgotten.

1. "Duck Dodgers"

Airing on Cartoon Network between 2003 and 2005, "Duck Dodgers" was a series based on the classic 1953 cartoon "Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century." The sci-fi comedy series featured reincarnations of classic Looney Tunes characters. Examples include Yosemite Sam as "K'chutha Sa'am," Elmer Fudd as a mind-altering disease known as "the Fudd," and Witch Hazel as "Leezah the Witch." The theme song was written by The Flaming Lips and performed by Tom Jones.

2. "The Buzz On Maggie"

Airing only one season on Disney Channel between 2005 and 2006, "The Buzz on Maggie" was about a tween fly named Maggie Pesky and her adventures in the town of Stickyfeet. The theme song, "Just the Way I Am," was performed by Canadian pop-rock singer Skye Sweetnam.

The voice actress for Otto, Pamela Adlon, was also the voice of Spinelli in "Recess" and the voice of Pajama Sam in the computer game series of the same name.

9. "Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action!"

Yes, that's correct. The beloved Olsen Twins had their own cartoon series.

The twins were known for their catchphrase "Let's go save the world...again."

While some cartoons are more influential or easily remembered than others, it is always fun to rediscover the more overlooked series. These shows prove that the 2000's surely had some cartoon gems that should have been huge.

I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
