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.

18. Fun dip.

Giphy

19. Baby bottle pops.

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!!!

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
