I'm someone who grew up in Howard County, Maryland. Here, Columbia Mall is one of the central places where teenagers hang out. There have been many stores that I remember from my childhood that have closed within the past few years. They may be closed, but they'll never be forgotten.

1. Club Libby Lu

Your preteen girl dreams were fulfilled here. You felt "fab-u-lus" here, ignoring the fact that fabulous was spelled incorrectly. You could even get a makeover at this store. There was another option where you could get adopt and dress up a stuffed puppy.

2. Waldenbooks


This was back when Columbia Mall had a lot of book stores like this. Your book nerd dreams were fulfilled.

3. Borders


Before Books a Million made its mark in Columbia Mall, there was Borders. Borders was another store where you could just sit and read.


4. L.L. Bean


Your parents bought one of your first backpacks here. You wondered if one day you'd randomly buy a kayak and paddle away from your worries. While overpriced, you loved L.L. Bean.


5. Delia's


You wondered why everything was absurdly expensive and why One Direction was everywhere. This was another overpriced store, but they had its good moments sometimes.


6. KB Toys


KB Toys was basically like Toys R US. You ran in and your parents would let out audible sighs.


7. Limited Too


More preteen dreams were fulfilled here. The music and the clothes lured you in.

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.

You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
