If You Were Born In The Late '90s You Surely Will Remember These

Growing up in the 2000s involved tamagotchi's, a gamecube, and beanie babies.

If You Were Born In The Late '90s You Surely Will Remember These

Even babies born as late as 1999 (like me) feel fortunate enough to have grown up in a generation without excessive technology. Life was much simpler but we had some pretty awesome toys, movies, and games. If you grew up in a generation before all this technology, I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane.

1. Gamecube video games

Growing up in the 2000s, kids would prefer competition in Mario Kart with others rather than playing Candy Crush on an iPad.

2. Silly Bandz

We have our parents to thank for giving in to our constant begging to buy us the newest shapes. Now you can get a pack for only $5 on Amazon! Who knows, maybe this trend will come back?

3. Webkinz

If you have extra time on your hands, check out the Webkinz website! A lot of stuff still remains the same and it's fun to reminisce.

4. Floam

The toy before the "satisfying posts" of slime phenomenon.

5. Board games

Operation, candy land, chutes and ladders, don't break the ice, the game of life, connect four: just to name a few.

6. Disney Channel and Nickelodeon TV shows

You can bet that every 90s baby daydreamed of drawing the Disney Channel mouse ears logo.

7. Beanie babies

You didn't grow up in the 2000s if you didn't own as least one beanie baby!

8. Lite-Brite

This was the messiest toy and your parents totally hated it! Lite-Brite would always end in losing the pegs, your dog eating them, or you having a fit because you didn't have your yellow peg to finish the picture.

9. Tech Decks

The fidget spinner of the 2000s.

10. Cootie catchers

This was the easiest and cheapest playground pastime. You felt like a powerful kid fortune teller.

11. Friendship bracelets

Back in the 2000s, making these was always the highlight of your slumber parties and these bracelets were how you claimed each other as BFF's.

12. Polly pockets

Polly Pockets was originally created in 1989 and brought back in 1998. So this toy was extremely popular around the time of 90s babies. They are a collector's item after being discontinued, but word on the street these dolls are coming back.

13. Mighty Beanz

If Might Beanz were a part of your childhood, you can remember collecting a ton of them and having racing competitions.

14. Furby

Looking back, these things were honestly super creepy looking!

15. Tamagotchis

Tamagotchis were every 90s kid's first responsibility. Hitting the market in 1996, these little digital pets flew off the shelves.

16. Blockbuster movies

Your exciting Friday nights consisted of going to rent a Blockbuster movie with your siblings and parents. In today's age, only one Blockbuster store remains in Oregon.

17. Boomboxes

I have vivid childhood memories of dancing to my Hannah Montana boombox CD in my room.

18. Road map rugs

I swear these were everywhere: your basement, your doctor, your dentist, your friend's house.

19. Plastic dollys in gym class

Any early 2000 baby can fend for these scooters being the BEST day of gym class!

20. Nerf guns

The kid version of Call of Duty.

21. Easy bake ovens

Too young to use a real oven? Meet the perfect child's toy to experiment with all your culinary desires!

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
