There are so many things from not only mine, but every college student's childhood that we miss, and that we can never get back. Like the feeling of walking into a Blockbuster and picking out a movie on a Friday night.

Or riding our bikes around the neighborhood with our elementary school friends. But lucky for myself and for every other college student there are a few things that we still have, like food. Here's 21 food we loved as children that we still love today.

1. PB & J sandwich .

When you're in a rush there's Uncrustables. Or when you need a midnight snack, a PB&J smacks.

2. A bowl of our favorite cereals.

Giphy

Cereal at 2 a.m. is definitely a college students go to.

3. Pop tarts.

Giphy

My dorm ALWAYS had either cinnamon or chocolate chip pop tarts.

4. Lunchables.

Giphy

Okay so the "cheese" makes your mouth super dry but like you get a candy, and juice box so I guess it's worth it.

5. String cheese.

Giphy

Literally rotate between, Spiderman, Disney's Frozen and Paw Patrol...

6. Spaghetti O's and meatballs.

Giphy

I have Mario Cart spaghetti o's and meatballs in my pantry right now. Sorry not sorry.

7. Fruit snacks.

Giphy

Fun Fact: I used to buy Pokemon fruit snacks just to get the Pokemon cards that came with them....and this was as an adult.

8. Gushers, Fruit by the Foot and Fruit Roll Up's.

Giphy

So these might not have gotten along with our braces in the past but did that stop us from eating them? No lol.

9. Flavored milk.

Giphy

A Rhode Island favorite is coffee milk. Yes, you heard that correctly, COFFEE MILK!!

10. Bagel bites and pizza bites.

Giphy

If you out these in the microwave instead of the oven please see a doctor immediately.

11. Hot pockets.

Giphy

So we burned our mouths enough when we were kids to be able to eat these without injury now.

12. Kid Cuisine's. 

Giphy

Is it just me or can anyone else smell this gif?

13. Dunk-a-roo's.

Giphy

Enough, stop.

14. Go-gurt.

17. Sunny D.

Because who wants adult orange juice?

18. Fun dip.

Giphy

One of my favorite candies to get.

19. Baby bottle pops.

*sings* "Baby bottle pop"

20. Dinosaur oatmeal.

I guess if a college student is eating oatmeal it has to be Dinosaur!!

21. Freeze pops.

Either you eat the right way, or you add pieces of them to you adult beverage.

Honorable Mentions: Pop Rocks, any Wonka candy, cookies (Oreos, Chips Ahoy), ice cream sandwiches and anything from the ice cream truck,  Ring Pops, Teddy Grams, Cosmic Brownies, Ritz Handi snacks, spray cheese and anything that came out of the Easy Bake Oven!!!

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
