Childhood Memories We All Have

Our childhood was all that in a bag of chips

Childhood Memories We All Have

Looking at what kids do today like play on Xbox and PlayStation, not going outside, not really knowing what real cartoons are, not experiencing the awesome stuff we had when we was growing up is upsetting. It just makes us think back to our own childhood and the blessings we had. Here are 14 things we all miss from our childhood:

1.Waking up early to watch the best cartoons

I think we can agree that the 90’s had the best cartoons.

2.The awesome toys

There were so many more toys but one of the most memorable is the skip it.

3.The original heartthrob

“Have mercy!” Uncle Jesse won over the hearts of girls everywhere.

4.The advancements in technology

Before Iphones and Xbox’s we had gameboys which was one of the biggest gaming advances ever.

5.This scene made you cry

You screamed with them, you rode bikes with them and you was terrified when the FBI came after ET. But when he goes home it was one of the first heartbreaks we’ve had.


6.These were the best plates ever

The commercials to the variety these were obviously the best thing ever.

7.Playing outside

Playing outside was the best thing to do as a kid. You never got bored and if you did you went and got into the creek.

8.The wonders of candy

Ok so the candy now is okay. But going to the grocery store and getting to pick out a piece to bring home; the variety back then was so much better.

9.Disney movies were at their peak

When a Disney original movie was about to come on you knew it was gonna be lit.

10.Dial up

The noises will forever haunt our nightmares since we have this new radical thing called wifi.

11.Always wanting one of these shoes

I actually had a pair of these and fell every time I wore them. But either way they was so cool.

12.This is your jam

Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, New Kids on The Block, Savage Garden, etc. We was blessed with the era of boy bands.

13.Blockbuster

Today's kids will never know the thrill of walking in here and picking up a movie and some of the bomb candy.

14.The fashion was the bomb dot com

Of course there was aqua net and scrunchies along with very bright colors. But I couldn’t pass up the picture of the 90’s iconic group “Friends”.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
