5 Cartoons That We All Miss

There's nothing better than reminiscing on your childhood memories.

5 Cartoons That We All Miss

What would a childhood be without cartoons? Maybe a lack of imagination and creativity, maybe a lack of a significant bond that connects individuals together when we say "Do you remember this?" Or, maybe we wouldn't be "lazy millennials" because TV is the reason a significant number of us millennials struggle with paying for college. This article is about reliving childhood memories and what made us into the person we are.

1. Spongebob

I can't talk about about cartoons and not have "Spongebob" on the list. We all have those few episodes of spongebob we love the most. My personal favorite would have to be the episode where everyone sings sweet victory. It's such an iconic part of spongebob and sets the stage to prepare non-spongebob watches for what's in store. That a spongebob living in a pineapple under the sea can do pretty much anything like be a rock star.


2. Teen Titans

If you seen this show, you already know everything I could say. It was an amazing show and it made no sense why it was cancelled. "Teen Titans: Go" doesn't live up to the original. Beast Boy was awesome. Booyah. But seriously, what isn't there to love about Teen Titans? The characters were very well done. Each had a back story and it drew you into their lives as if they were real. You wanted Raven to overcome her father and her own darkness. You wanted Starfire and Robin to be together. You wanted Beast Boy to get that last slice of pizza. Teen titans combined teenage problems, like stepping out of someone's shadow, with superpowers and the catchiest theme song ever. Like come on you try not singing along.


3. Looney Tunes

I can't put into words the impact that "Looney Tunes" had on me as a child. Apparently, my nickname as a baby was Taz because no one could understand what I was saying and I'd tear up a room in a heartbeat. That being said Bugs bunny will always be my favorite character. My aspirations to be smart and clever all stemmed from Bugs. He outfoxes his own predators. If that isn't cartoons teaching me a successful way to live my life then I don't know what is. Can we expose this new generation to looney tunes, a child hasn't lived until they see the rabbit season episode.

4. Popeye

What better way to get your kids to eat their vegetables than to make them believe they'll get superpowers. Must be what the creator of "Popeye" thought because on those hard nights when a bowl of spinach was put in front of me, the only thing that motivated me to shove it down was the thought that I could have super strength. That being said I'm not benching any cars so my effort was for nothing. Regardless Popeye is a classic. And whether you lied to your kids or believed you would get superpowers you enjoyed this cartoon. My favorite part is all the animations of Popeye's muscles. When you saw his muscles get muscles you knew that it was over for Bruno. One last thing: I can't talk about Popeye without mentioning Robin Williams. R.I.P. You've made the childhood of millions of kids great.

5. Avatar: The Last Air Bender

As always the last choice is definitely the hardest. Choosing which of the millions of cartoons should be included in is not an easy decision, but "Avatar" won the spot this time. A teen not quite ready to face all the responsibility his life brings appealed to me and probably a lot of others. But Aang stepped up, even through his toughest obstacles, including his own morals and beliefs. He had a lot to learn before he was ready to save anyone but we believed that Aang could save the world.

Were these cartoons significant in your childhood? Is there any cartoon that didn't make this list that you would like to see? (Of course there is). Maybe it'll be in part two.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
