You Know You Are A 2000s Kid When...

Here's to those of us who are too young to consider ourselves "90s kids" but can't relate to today's kids.

You Know You Are A 2000s Kid When...
PopSugar

If you were born in mid-to-late 1990s, you probably don't know where you stand generation-wise; we're stuck in the middle between the 90s and 2000s. With that said, you know you're a 2000s kid when...

1. You Played Outside

Any free minute you had after school and during the weekend was spent outside with the neighborhood kids.

2. You Remember September 11

Maybe you were in kindergarten, first grade or too young to have very clear memories, but the effects are unforgettable: we barely remember a time when traveling wasn't filled with TSA rules and chaos. We grew up knowing nothing but the US going to war and international conflicts.

3. You Had a Horrible Sense of Style

Abercrombie, Livestrong bracelets, jelly bracelets, skinny jeans, those awful trucker hats, band T-shirts...Should I keep going?

4. You Remember When The First iPod Came Out


And then the iPhone and every Apple product later released.

5. You Had to Physically Roll Down Your Own Windows

We all had great arms as kids. No pushing the button for us.

6. You Watched TRL

Where else would we listen to all of our favorite top hits? We were all devastated when it was cancelled as MTV started to become only reality shows.

7. You Got Excited When Your School Got The New "High-Tech" Flatscreen Dell Computers

The computer lab looked like something out of the future to our little eyes.

8. You Learned Phonics in Elementary School

How else would we have learned how to read?

9. Choosing Your MySpace Song And Background Was Everything


You wanted to have the coolest profile out of everyone you knew.

10. You Didn't Have To Adult

No bills, no work and no grown-up worries. You just let your parents take care of everything.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
