Ah, The Feels.

7 Things That Will Give '90s Babies (And Early 2000s) Nostalgia
YouTube

As I was browsing through my iTunes library, I began to think about how far we've come with technology and how much things have changed. I began to think back to a simpler time in life when the biggest problem I had was whether or not my crush liked me back (rather than having to worry about bills and tuition). I would literally give anything to be able to go back to those times, but since I can't, listed below are seven things that are bound to give us millennials some serious nostalgia.


1. LimeWire

Ah, the feels. Back when the least of your worries was getting arrested for piracy. LimeWire literally had EVERYTHING from all of the latest music to movies, you name it! Yeah, you might have caught a virus or two on your computer but it was all worth it once you had your favorite songs on your iPod or Zune.

2. iPods and Zunes

Need I say more?

3. Sidekicks

While the hype of these phones was pretty short lived, I remember thinking I was the coolest thing since sliced bread once I finally had one of these.

4. Aim

If you weren't up until 3 A.M. or later talking to your friends, did you even do it right?

5. MySpace

Where do I even begin? If you had a MySpace you already know who this guy is since we all had to have him as a friend (Hey Tom!). When I think of MySpace I can't help but think of all of the now cringe-worthy photos I used to think were cute. I lived for getting new friend requests, messages, updating my song, and making sure I had the coolest profile out of all of my friends.

6. Boy Bands

Whether its Panic! At The Disco, Fallout Boy, NSYNC, or The BackStreet Boys; you are guaranteed the feels once you hear their music after all of this time.

7. Scholastic Book Fairs

You were always the cool kid if you came back with items from the book fair, don't debate me on this.

The list of nostalgic items could go on and on, but these are some of the few that I know others will appreciate!

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
