By no means am I saying that I am old, but when I talk to people and they don't know what these things are, I feel like I should be at home with my cats and in bed at like 8:30 PM.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
