"Millsberry" was before "Club Penguin" and "Webinz." It was an online world that allowed you to be an adult without being one in real life. The games were fun and the achievements were a million times better. But, it all ended in 2011 when the site shut down. Therefore, as a former "Millsberry" addict and to all the other "Millsberry" addicts out there, here are my 11 best "Millsberry" memories. Trust me, there are definitely way more!

1. The neighborhoods.

The neighborhood you chose to live in determined your personality for the entirety of your virtual life! Five neighborhoods = choose wisely! Ravenwood, where mystery is your middle name. Lakeview, where you believe in the existence of the Loch Ness monster. Golden Valley, where making money is your game. Westridge, all about a plain and simple exterior. Metro Park, only for the outdoorsy people.

2. The arcade.

Countless games meant countless hours in front of the computer screen. Why? Because you were bound and determined to win that trophy and the prize money!

Hop 'n Drop was where it was at!

3. Building your house.

Choosing the neighborhood to live in was a challenge, but building and designing your house was excruciating. But, building floors in your house made you feel like an architect. After all, nothing got you more excited than adding a new room.

4. Cleanliness.

Whether it started in the bathroom with you brushing your buddy's teeth, or in the refrigerator as you fed them some water, Millsberry was all about good hygiene and cleanliness. After all, your buddy wouldn't interact with others if they smelled like week-old socks! Hygiene and exercise: it was life or death!

5. Savvy shopping.

You learned to pick your style at the furniture store while also choosing all the sugary sweets (plus the occasional vegetable) at the local grocery store!

6. Scavenging.

You fine-tuned your scavenging skills when it came to yard sales!

7. One word: trophies.

Rooms were cool, but trophies were cooler. In fact, I even had a room dedicated to all of my Sherman's Home Run Derby trophies.

8. Pets!

You were allowed to buy a pet, which ultimately taught you about responsibility.

9. Downtown Millsberry.

Downtown Millsberry was your home away from home. It was where everything was, such as the grocery store, the arcade and the bookstore.

10. The buddy.

Your buddy was who you really wanted to be. They could have any hairstyle and crazy-colored hair yourheart desired. Not to mention the endless amounts of clothes your buddy could wear, all at the touch of a button.

11. Millsberry Academy.

Going to school! Why? So I can get a trophy! Millsberry Academy was where you got lunch, learned hygiene, learned about sports, and focused on graduating. Even though it was an online community/game, Millsberry Academy ensured that you still knew a thing or two.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
