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.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
