26 Things From Your Childhood That You Totally Forgot Existed

There once was a time long, long ago, before the existence of Snapchat and PokemonGo. Although we didn't have either (how did we survive!?), we did have these things...

1. Zoombinis

And making those pizza's were the best part.


2. Life of Ryan (and Ryan Sheckler in general)

First crush.


3. The Cinnamon Challenge

We all did it...but Glozell did it best.


4. The Buried Life

When I first realized I was into older men.


5. Temple Run

Pre PokemonGo.


6. These things

Grocery shopping has never since been the same.


7. Windows 3 Solitaire

Which you played on your families lunky desktop computer.


8. AIM

x0babyylaxgirl13: ~Out w/ the best;; text/call ittt~


9. Brain Quest

Thinking you were such a bad@$ smart chick because you were in 2nd grade using the 4th grade Brain Quest.


10. The best days at school

May Veggie Tales, Bill Nye, and The Magic School Bus live on for elementary school students in generations to come.


11. The ever so classy picture day laser background


...that my mom never let me get. I used to resent her but now I thank her.


12. Milky Pens

When I was 10 I literally thought that I was going to grow up and become a professional Milky Pen tattoo artist.


13. Coppertone Kids Color Block Sunscreen

If they ever bring this back while I have children I will sue Coppertone.


14. Neopets


I won the Neo-lottery one time and only fed my pets donuts and desserts because they looked pretty in my inventory.


15. Barbie Nail Salon

Pretty sure I cried when I got this for Christmas 2001.


16. Hit Clips

Pre-iTunes and Spotify - Us 90's kids only got to listen to 30 seconds of a song.


17. Radio Disney...and all the songs that came with it


Being on AM radio was their real mistake...but playing Jesse McCartney made up for it.


18. Game Cube



May the original Mario Kart be remembered forever.


19. Freddi Fish

*Spoiler Alert* Prepare for your mind to be blown...Freddi was a girl. Yes. I'm sorry. Your life was a lie.


20. Junie B. Jones Series

"My name is Junie B. Jones. The B stands for Beatrice. Except I don't like Beatrice. I just like B and that's all."


21. Take Me Out Of The Bathtub

Still a work of genius in my eyes.

22. Dragon Tales

Everyone's favorite after school show.


23. Reader Rabbit

I still have never had a kumquat or a quince (do they even exist??)

24. Club Penguin

If you were a member you were part of an elite group.


25. Moody's Point (& the Amanda Show)

Bring back the dancing lobsters.


26. Big Comfy Couch


To this day she is still flexibility goals.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
