20 Flashbacks You'll Remember If You Grew Up In The Early 2000s

Oh the 90s/early 2000s. Everything was just so simple back then. All toys were so much more fun and we lived in a world where a RAZR was the most popular phone ever. Remember those days? Well I'm about to do a major throwback of things us 90's/2000's babies couldn't live without!


1. Skip It

Remember this toy? It provided all the entertainment. However if it hit you in the ankle it hurt bad. Or if you're like me and a complete klutz tripping over it wasn't ideally the most fun thing either.

2. L'Oreal Kids Shampoo

This shampoo was the best. It made your hair smell AMAZING and it kept tangles out. However "no tears" wasn't referring to your eyes, but only to your hair. Many of us found that out the hard way...

3. Mr. Bubble Original Bubble Bath

This stuff was/is amazing. First off it smelled like bubble gum which just shows it was fun. It made baths more fun. I still can find it at Walmart or Target and have been guilty of buying it. #noregrets

4. Tamagotchi

Oh my goodness these little things. EVERYONE had one. I begged my mother but I think because her students had them and they always got taken, she said no. If you aren't familiar with it, these little things are virtual pets who you have to take care of. And I'm pretty sure if you miss a feeding it'll die. I remember everyone sneaking them out in class to save them because they had to be fed.

4. AOL Instant Messenger

HAHA. If I could find my old AIM account I'd die. But remember coming home from school and logging on to AIM to talk to your BFFs about "that totally ratchet test" in class? Or gossiping about Jimmy the boy you have a crush on? Good times good times.

5. Disney Channel Original Movies

Remember when Disney Channel wasn't dumb? Yeah same. Hannah Montana, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, That's So Raven, Even Stevens, and don't forget the best movies ever. Zenon, Halloweentown, Cheetah Girls, Cadet Kelly. Oh and the show every pre teen middle school girl related to, Lizzie McGuire. Ugh please bring back old Disney Channel. K thanks.

6. iPod Nano 3rd Generation

Everyone had these little things. There was actually a time when everything wasn't touchscreen. Also it was pretty much indestructible (unless washed) They had the coolest silicone covers. I remember having one and loving it.

7. Purple Ketchup

The early 2000's was a toxic wasteland. And you'll never be able find it again because Heinz discontinued it in 2006.

8. Lite Brite

ENDLESS FUN. But pure hell to clean up. Lite Brite was amazing and I remember opening the Lite Brite Cube on Christmas and being overjoyed. I wonder where it has disappeared too....

9. Lisa Frank School Supplies

Lisa Frank was like the Lilly Pulitzer of our childhood, except it was a lot cheaper. I had all the Lisa Frank supplies and felt insanely cool. I remember having the colorful folder and the notebooks and my childhood self felt like the coolest kid ever.

10. Scooby Doo! Where Are You?

My favorite show as a child. And if you've seen the recreated version, it's honestly terrible and makes me sad.

11. N*Sync

Hey remember when Justin Timberlake had ramen hair? I remember blasting "Bye Bye Bye" literally all the time. Good times good times.

12. The Oregon Trail


13. Scented Markers

My mother has these and I used to steal them all the time. All smelled amazing except licorice.

14. Cosmic Brownies

These were the best back then, and they're amazing now. But horribly processed.

15. Book Fair Handouts

Best time of the year was when the Book Fair happened

16. The Amanda Show


17. CD Players

18. Gameboy

They were truly the coolest.

19. Moon Shoes


20. Bop It

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
