The early 2000s was easily a golden era of fashion, at least that's what pre-teen me thought at the time. Looking back at it... not so much. But hey, at least us late-'90s babies weren't "rocking" clothing plastered with emojis and acronyms like "LOL" and "YOLO." Remember the daring looks of Brittany Spears and Justin Timberlake when they pulled off all denim, matching outfits? Or the Disney Channel/fashion icon, Ashley Tisdale and all her infamous red carpet looks? Truly legendary.

Thanks to stores like Urban Outfitters, SOME of these treasured trends are making a miraculous comeback. You can even find them on Amazon! Though we did have some interesting trends, you're lying to yourself if you haven't wished you could flaunt around in a fresh new pair of gauchos again.

1. Low rise jeans paired with chunky belts

Well, you needed something to keep your jeans from falling even lower, so why not a statement belt?

Buy it on Amazon.

2. Layered tank tops

Because why not wear 3 tank tops on top of each other?

Buy them on Amazon.

3. Gauchos

God bless the creator of these magical pants.

Buy them on Amazon.

4. Crocs

Well, duh.

Buy them on Amazon.

5. Livestrong Bracelets

You couldn't catch a single elementary student without at least one of these bad boys on their wrists.

Buy it on Amazon.

6. Headbands with scarf tails

I think I had eight of these at one point in my life. That was clearly my peak.

Buy them on Amazon.

7. Kanye Glasses

Probably the most impractical trend, but that did not make anyone immune to these barred-shades.

Buy them on Amazon.

8. Stylish barrettes

Yes, I do need 12 barrettes for only one piece of hair.

Buy it on Amazon.

9. Jelly sandals

I saw a pair of these in Forever 21 last week and nearly died.

Buy them on Amazon.

10. Silly bands

"I'll give you two dog silly bands for one of your horse silly bands."

Buy them on Amazon.

11. Colorful tracksuits

Remember in "Mean Girls" when the only thing Regina could fit into was her pink tracksuit? I felt that.

Buy it on Amazon.

12. Plaid shorts

I looked like a damn picnic table most of my childhood.

Buy them on Amazon.

13. Skinny sequined scarves

Definitely did not keep you warm, but at least they kept you fashionable.

Buy it on Amazon.

14. Initialed bags

If you didn't have at least 6 bags with your first initial on it, then what were you doing?

Buy it on Amazon.

15. Lip Smackers lip balm

And what better to fill your initialed bag with other than soda-flavored lipgloss?

Buy it on Amazon.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
