In This Article:


Catch the bus before you miss it! Then, eye-down the clock until recess. Thirty minutes go by quickly and just like that, you are already back to sitting on your classroom's Magic School Bus themed carpet, waiting patiently for the bell. Okay, school is finally over. Although you either have baseball practice or cub scouts, you don't really look to the near-future optimistically. Sure, throwing a ball or learning how to start a fire from one of the gawky and musty older scouts is more entertaining than listening to your teacher.

That being said, nothing compares to flashbacks of only having a single hour of cable before mom would send you to bed, and then send you back to bed after she caught you starting the next episode of your favorite cartoon. Cartoons have the ability to catch a kids attention, which is not something that happens frequently. Although there is a stigma that cartoons and television in general is a waste of time, this is not true. Although most cartoons don't teach children information you can learn in a classroom, like the science practiced on the famous television series, Bill Nye the Science Guy, they do provide a learning purpose. This learning can range from teaching kids to be adventurous, creative, or simply to have fun with friends.

"Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends"

"Chocolateee..."

"Courage the Cowardly Dog"

This may be the worst case of the heebie-jeebies ever recorded.

"The Powerpuff Girls"

Three super-power girls show us what it takes to fight crime, known as a little girl power.

"Codename: Kids Next Door"

This show teaches us its our choice to grow up. Also, kids are savage.

"The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius"

Gadgets and gizmos are created by an impressive boy genius.

"Ed, Edd 'n Eddy"

This infamous episode will give you the worst anxiety you may ever experience. If you know you know.

"The Fairly OddParents"

Magical godparents, delusional parents, and one awful babysitter.

"Invader Zim"

After being banned from his native planet, Irk, Zim attends elementary school while trying to conquer Earth and the human race.

"Dexter's Laboratory "

A boy-genius and a secret laboratory. Grind time.

"Total Drama Island"

A fierce battle. Who will be the last competitor standing?

"Rugrats"

Watch a group of toddlers take on a new adventure everyday. Hopefully you didn't forget this one.

"The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy"

The grim reaper is forced to befriend two children after losing a bet.

"CatDog"

A cat and a dog. A CatDog series. Are you not entertained?

Cartoons hold the power to introduce us to a new type of creativity we are unable to redeem anywhere else. With that being said, there are also other intentions the creators of these shows have in mind. Although some show's purpose are exclusively entertainment, it is still a mile ahead of being a cub scout, trust me.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
