There's nothing like reminiscing about the good old days, especially when it comes to food. Whether it be the treat you'd throw in your lunch box, the snack your mom would have waiting for you after school, or the dessert you'd munch on with friends at sleepovers, there were always good memories associated with certain indulgences. But as time passes, so do the novelties of delicious snacks. Before you know it, your favorite ice cream bar has been discontinued, or worse, replaced by a vegan/low-cal/soy milk/all-natural/tasteless adult alternative. Nothing will taste exactly the same as it did when you were a youngster, but for now, all we can do is remember the delectable treats we had and recall the memories we had with them.

1. Oreo O's

"But mom, they're not actually cookies. See, it says cereal! It's acceptable for breakfast!"

2. Jiffy Pop Popcorn

Don't lie, you felt like a professional chef when you cooked one of these babies up in front of you friends.

3. Cosmic Brownies

By far, the best thing that's ever come out of the Little Debbie snack industry. Next.

4. Minute Maid Juice Bars

When the lunch ladies whipped these out in the cafeteria YOU KNEW it was gonna be a good (but messy) day!

5. Dunkaroos

The best excuse to eat cookies and frosting and not get in trouble for ruining your dinner.

6. Yogo Bits

It's yogurt, yeah? So that means they're healthy?

7. Lunchables

For those mornings when it was much easier for your mom to throw a pre-made lunch in your book bag... but hey, you didn't complain!

8. Stringy Thing

Is it candy? Is it fruit? It it candle wax? Who knows.

9. Cheese Curls

Not to be confused with cheese balls, which are also a fan favorite.

10. Push Up

The closest thing your chubby, 10 year old self got to a push up.

11. Mister Salty

Because hard pretzels and liquid cheese are a thing apparently?

12. Scooby Snacks

*secretly feeling scared to try them because you think they'll taste like dog treats*

13. Squeeze-It Juice

Loving the sugary taste, but hating having to ask an adult to help you open the top on the bottles.

14. Bugles

For the first time, you finally experienced what it felt like to have long nails... oh, and they didn't taste too bad either!

15. Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape

Maybe it was the silly name. Maybe it was the funky packaging. Maybe it was the fact that you could literally HAVE SIX FEET OF GUM IN YOUR MOUTH AT ONCE.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
