6 Grade School Fads We Really Miss

If you were in grade school school during the early 2000s then there's a really good chance you had one or all of these.

1. Mighty Beans

There was nothing more fun than trading these little bad boys with your friends on the school yard. opening up your zippered collection and replacing them in their little holders.

2. Hollister Zip Up Sweaters

Let's be real we all went through the "Hollister is the coolest store in the world". In elementary school if you didn't have a Hollister sweater, then you were doing something wrong.

3. Tamagotchi's

Literally one of the greatest toys ever, am I right?! Everyone had one or more of these. I remember hiding them in my pencil case during class just to feed them. They were so addicting me and my friends couldn't put them down. And every time a new generation came out we were always the first to go to Toys R Us and get it!

4. GameCube

One of the best video game systems, you could watch tv with it, play GameBoy games, etc. I remember so much time sitting around a tv playing Super Monkey Ball and Sims.

5. Water yoyo's

These were a kind of short lived fad because they eventually came out to be poisonous or so I remember. BUT when they had their time every kid in the school year had one wrapped around their finger.

6. Webkinz

My friends and I had probably over 50 Webkinz each, if they weren't your life did you have a childhood!? Spending hours playing online with your stuffed animals definitely started a lot of our internet obsessions.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
