When thinking about childhood, a lot of things stand out. I think about playing at recess and games like four square, tag, and other random made up ones come to mind. I remember all toys I played with, like Barbies and Webkinz. While these are important parts of my childhood, I think what stands out most was all the awesome snacks and foods I used to eat when I was a kid, some of which aren't even made anymore. Here's a huge list of nostalgic snacks!!

1. Dunkaroos

I'm honestly so sad that these ever disappeared because they were the highlight of my lunch box in elementary school. What's better than dipping cookies into icing? Nothing.

2. Yogos

Even if you didn't even really like yogurt as a kid, these things were still so good.

3. Push Up Pops

Anytime the ice cream truck came around, I was getting one of these. They're so much better than regular popsicles.

4. Wax Bottles

5. Mini Doritos and Cheetos Asteroids

I used to always get these in my Easter basket and I was so excited.

6. Colored Ketchup

The thought of this now is honestly disgusting, but when I was a kid I thought this was the coolest thing ever.

7. Hugs


You knew a birthday party was gonna be good if you saw a cooler full of these things.

8. Cookies & Twix

9. Bug Juice

Every time I went on a road trip with my family and we stopped at a gas station for drinks, I'd get this

10. Kudos Bars

11. Wonder Balls

12. Slush Puppies

Every time I went to the pool as a kid I had to get one of these.

13. Gripz

14. Danimals

I don't know about you, but I drank these like nobody's business.

15. (Real) Trix

If you don't remember Trix actually being shaped like fruits, you're too young for me. And you never had real Trix cereal.

16. Bugles

I think they still make these, but I haven't had them in years. You're lying if you say you never put these on your fingers and pretended you were a witch.

17. Kool-Aid Bursts

They still sell these and I still buy them and I don't care because they're amazing and remind me so much of my childhood. Kool-aid bursts > Kool-aid jammers.

18. Pudding Pops

I don't even like pudding but these things were addicting. I'm pretty sure they got rid of them and I really wanna know why because they were the best.

19. Skittles Gum

20. Juice Bars

One word: amazing.

21. BUBBLE GUM

Everyone, myself included, was obsessed with bubble gum when I was a kid.

22. Breadsticks and Cheese

23. Shaped Ice Cream

Maybe it was just me who ate these and looked for them every year around Christmas, but regardless, I loved them.

24. These things!!!

I don't know what these are called. All I can come up with is "those fruit shaped containers that had straight up candy powder in them." I used to love these.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
