The good old days...

20 of my Favorite Childhood TV Shows

Yesterday, I told my mom, "I literally have no idea what I should write about this week." Being the child that I am, I always turn down her suggestions, but not this time!
Remember the early 2000s, when you were in elementary school? All you cared about was shopping at Justice and keeping up with the shows on Disney Channel. Life was so much easier back in those days; I wish I could go back. Here are my top 20 TV shows from when I was growing up (in no particular order!)

1. Rolie Polie Olie
"...He's small and smart and round, and in the land of curves and curls, he's the swellest kid around..."

2. Clifford the Big Red Dog

Now that I think about it, why was he so big?


3. The Powerpuff Girls
I remember playing outside at recess, arguing over who would be which Powerpuff Girl. (I always wanted to be Bubbles!)


4. The Big Comfy Couch

This show looks really creepy to me now, but I remember really enjoying it as a child.

5. The Amanda Show
No description needed! I still try to watch this show on YouTube.

6. Angelina Ballerina
Literally, this show made me want to become a ballerina. A ballet dancing mouse...what could be better?!

7. Blue's Clues
It wasn't until recently that I found out that Blue was a girl.


8. Kim Possible
Who doesn't want to be Kim Possible? She's tough, confident, and totally cool.



9. The Naked Brothers Band
I always thought this was a very odd name for a band, but to each his own. I wonder what these kids are up to now.

10. The Wonder Pets
Lenny, Tuck, and Ming-Ming too...

11. The Backyardigans
Also a creepy show, but I guess it appeals to kids.

12. Legends of the Hidden Temple
I wanted to be on this show SO bad.



13. That's So Raven

Did you hear that Disney Channel is making a spin-off???


14. Little Bill
The animation on this show is kind of weird, but whatever...it was still really entertaining.

15. Lazy Town
Honestly, what an odd name for a TV show. As a college student, I fell like I am the mayor of Lazy Town.



16. Dragon Tales
I was OBSESSED with this show. I remember staring out my bedroom window, wishing on a star that I could be on the show. Don't judge, I was a weird child.


17. Bear in the Big Blue House
Was that an actual guy in the costume, or was it just a huge puppet...?

18. Franklin
A TV show about a turtle that has a bunch of neat animal friends! I think this show was based off of a series of books? I don't know, so don't quote me on that.

19. Nickelodeon's Guts
Another awesome game show! This was definitely Nickelodeon's prime.

20. Zoboomafoo
I actually had trouble spelling that!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
