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.

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.
