The 2000s were a time that many young adults today can look back on, joyfully reminisce and somewhat cringe at the trends and the fads that we all used to love and adore. Here's a list of things from the golden 2000s that will have one feeling nostalgic about all of those times.

1. Wonderballs

One of the best candies that always seemed to catch your eyes at grocery store checkouts, leaving you begging your parents to get one.

2. iPod Nanos

The coolest and most colorful way to download your favorite boy bands and Hannah Montana jams.

3. Heelys

This magical shoe that made it fun to run errands with your parents.

4. Dance Dance Revolution.

The game that made the ultimate slumber party.

5. Silly Bandz

Hand and arm wearing lots of silly bandz

The more you had, the cooler you were.

6. "I love boobies" bracelets

Stack of multi-colored plastic bracelets

The breast cancer bracelets that caused quite the controversy in middle schools.

7. Crimped hair

Because why wouldn't you want your hair to look as stylish as Lizzy McGuire's?

8. The "Muffins" or "Shoes" Youtube videos.

So stupid yet so funny.

9. Club penguin

You had the best pet puffles.

10. Skip Its.

Every garage had one.

11. Bratz Dolls and Polly Pockets.

What's better than oversized eyes and rubber clothing?

12. Baby Bottle Pops

Everyone's favorite cavity-causing candy.

13. Myspace

Where you lied about your age to get on and frequently rearranged your "top friends" lists accordingly.

14. Abercrombie models

Pictures like these were hanging in your room or your Razor phone background if you are a girl, and your inspiration if you were a boy.

15. Ferby

That creepy animal thing that everyone seemed to love.

16. Nerf guns

17. Game Cube

Purple Game Cube

Where you played Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers, and more.

18. Slip 'N' Slides

Children playing on Slip 'N' Slide in the garden

The most fun you've ever had took place on one of these things.

19. Easy Bake Ovens

Where real baking did not take place.

20. Dunkaroos

The sugary snack that fit perfectly in your lunch bag.

21. Nintendo DS

Silver Nintendo DS

The life changing device you probably used to play Nintendogs.

22. Drake & Josh

You strived to be as cool as them.

23. Play-Doh

A parent's worst clean-up nightmare.

24. The Sims 2

A legendary computer game.

25. Razor scooter

There was no cooler way to get around.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
