If Your Latest Crush Doesn't Know About These 12 Things, They Are Too Young For You

Nickelodeon

These things were literally staples in growing up in the early 2000s. My friends and I still have sleepovers and play on our PlayStation 2 and watch all of our Mary Kate and Ashley movies on VHS. Just thinking about people who don't know these things makes me sad for them, it just means that they are stuck in the New Age of technology and having everything you could ever think of.

1. Barbies

I'm not talking the ones grandma gets you that have to stay in the box. I am talking the ones you played with inside, in the pool, in the tree house, literally anywhere you and your friends went, they went with you.

2. The Amanda Show

If I can't reference 'Totally Kyle' or 'The Girls Room' something is wrong.

3. Memory Cards for the Play Station

The pure horror of not remembering which card you saved your game on.

4. Phones that NEVER Shattered, or Died

Giphy

And when snake was the only game that you could play.

5. Having to actually REWIND the tape to watch from the beginning

Giphy

If you were cool enough, you had a machine that did if for you and you didn't have to hold down the button and close your eyes so you didn't see the movie in reverse.

6. The STRUGGLE of having to make your own ankle sock

Literally, what were ankle socks?

7. The struggle of Blockbuster

Giphy

Just imagine, you FINALLY pick the one movie you want to watch only to find out that all of the copies have been rented.

8. The awesomeness that is Mr. Feeny

Giphy

Principal. Teacher. Neighbor. So many times he was able to give us the best words of advice.

9. The heartbreak of forgetting to feed your first pet

Giphy

You cry and get a new one all in the same week. And then forget about it again in a couple of days. Maybe this is why all of our parents were reluctant to get us pets...

10. Having to know ALL of the songs on the CD in order

You knew which track your favorite song was so you could skip to it and listen to it first.

11. Making sure you downloaded the RIGHT song the first time

And trying to hide your illegally downloaded music from your parents.

12. Where 'The Rock' got his name from

Giphy

I literally had somebody ask me, "Have you ever noticed that Dwayne Johnson and 'The Rock' look identical?"

8 Things You'll Never Hear College Students Say

Nope, never.

Fordham University

Fordham Ram

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.

Leslie gets it.

Your professor mentions there's a test in a few days and you didn't know about it.

You spend all day long in class and now realize you also have to spend the next few nights awake studying.

You take out your textbook and notes, but don't have the energy to actually read them.

You keep reading the same sentence over and over, but it still doesn't make sense.

You can’t focus, and your roommate suggests you go to the library.

You realize there are still over 50 pages left to read.

You reach the two-hour mark of studying and get delirious and want to give up.

You take a Netflix and snack break.

Your friends told you they were staying in with you to study, but they end up going out.

Your friends ask why you need to study instead of having fun.

Your friends send you pictures of them out having fun, but you're stuck in the library and want to run away.

You walk out of the test and realize staying in and studying was worth it because you definitely aced it.

No, I'm not mad, that's just my face

1. You can't control it.

2. You are not always pissed off.

3. Most of the time, you're just fine.

4. Usually, nothing is wrong.

5. Sometimes, you use it to your advantage.

6. But you actually are approachable most times.

7. Fake smiling is tough.

8. You are not actually a b***h.

Nope, never.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

2. "I'm going to be a responsible adult"

3. "I will stop spending so much money on food"

4. "I will take great notes in all of my classes"

5. "Goodbye, procrastination"

6. "I had a great, relaxing weekend"

7. "I don't miss homemade food"

8. "I'll start studying for finals one month early"

No one best represents the struggle like our favorite 90s squad.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

2. When there is only one section of a popular course.

3. Receiving the 18,000 emails reminding you to register ASAP.

4. When you need to see an advisor, but they are too busy/unresponsive.

5. Trying not to dress like a bum for your appointments with your advisors/department heads.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.
