As Thanksgiving is coming to an end, the TV is flooded with holiday advertisements. While I'm painfully watching one ad after another, I can't help but think about whatever happened to all those toys we had as kids. Remember these?

1. Gameboy

And you had to have it in pink.

2. American Girl Dolls

Samantha Parkington was the OG.

3. Shrinky Dinks

Were you cool if you didn't wear a Shrinky Dink tied around a piece of lanyard as a necklace?

4. Pretty Pretty Princess

And you would find the jewelry randomly all over your house.

5. Polly Pockets

Still not as good as Barbies, but these mini pieces of plastic rocked.

6. Furbies

These were SO creepy and looked stoned. Why did we love them so much?

7. Easy Bake Oven

You felt so proud after making something yourself, even if it was actually pretty inedible.

8. Tamagotchi

These were awesome until you accidentally left your "pet" unattended during a long day of elementary school and starved it.

9. Hit Clips

What isn't great about listening to 10 seconds of "I Want Candy" over and over again?

10. Mall Madness

Teaching kids everywhere how to recklessly swipe their credit cards.

11. Bop It

These were low-key hard.

12. Skip-It

How many times did you accidentally whip your friend in the ankle with this while making her watch you do it?

13. My Size Barbie

Did this freak out anyone else's parents?

14. Butterfly Clips

The more glitter the better.

15. Klutz Hair Wrap Books

Who needs to fly to an Island to get their hair wrapped?

16. Slap Bracelets

A weapon and a piece of jewelry all in one.

17. Spice Girls Dolls

Spice Girls EVERYTHING.

18. Lisa Frank Coloring Books

The goddess of arts and crafts.

19. Sky Dancers

What was the point of these anyway?

20. Betty Spaghetty

The perfect cross between Polly Pockets and Barbie.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
