Before iPhones and fidget spinners, we had AIM and Skip Its. Let's face it, we had it pretty good in the early 2000's. Here are just a few fads that sum up life as a 2000's kid.

1. Pogo sticks

Want to impress your friends? Pogo stick. Trying to one-up your siblings? Pogo stick. Want to get a bunch of bruises and scratches? Pogo stick.

2. Roller skating dates

The skating rink was the place to be. If you grew up in the 2000s, there is most likely no doubt that you went to a few birthday parties, school events, and/or group outings at the rink.

3. Skip Its

Getting hit by one always left a nice bruise on your ankle.

4. High School Musical

Nothing was cooler than going to a High School Musical themed party to watch the premiere when one of the movies came out.

5. Disposable cameras

Getting your pictures back after being developed felt like Christmas morning...until you realized that your finger was covering the lens in six of the photos

6. AIM

AOL Instant Messanger was the cool way to text your friends online.

7. Silly Bandz

Now, this trend was just silly....

8. The Amanda Show

"The Amanda Show" was one of the best after school shows. Court dismissed.

I miss growing up during the peak of High School Musical and spending my afternoons pogo-sticking with friends. As weird as some of the early 2000's trends may have been, I wouldn't trade my childhood for anything else.
