The Top Most Nostalgic TV Shows From Your Childhood
Pintrest

Your childhood routine probably consisted of coming home from school every day, throwing your backpack down somewhere near the door, and sitting yourself down in front of the TV while you got a sugar rush from these bad boys:


By the time you turned on the TV, it was around 3:30 or 4 in the afternoon. The shows that came on were like another friend to you. You spent so much time watching these that you knew every single episode.

10. "Zoom"

First, we have to have a moment of appreciation for the catchiest of catchy theme songs. The award goes to "Zoom" for this. If you watched this show, I guarantee the song just dug itself out from somewhere in the way back of your head where you didn't think that would ever resurface again. If you don't remember, here's the full songfor your enjoyment.

How did you get to be on this show anyway? I'm sure every kid's dream was to be a season of "Zoom," doing a fun science experiment or making ants on a log and getting paid for it.

9. "Franklin"

No one was cooler than this turtle. I even had some of his chapter books, and when I broke my arm in third grade, my mom gave me the book about when Franklin broke his arm, too. We were basically twins.

8. "Out of the Box"

Vivian and Tony were the extra set of parents we always wished we had. They were hip, they were fun, and they let our imaginations go wild. Over ten years later, I'm still questioning how they built that entire set out of boxes in Viv's backyard. Pure magic.

7. "Teletubbieshttp://cdn1.theodysseyonline.com/files/2015/11/22/635838075122767378-470573848_teletubbies.gif"

I would have given anything to sit in on the pitching of this show. Just imagine someone getting up in front of a room full of PBS Kids executives, rolling up their sleeves and getting really excited while saying, "OK, so imagine this: there are four people dressed up in alien-like costumes. Their stomachs are television screens and each one is a different color and have a symbol on top of their head. They don't speak much and they run through the rolling hills of what looks like could be Ireland. Oh, and when the sun rises, there's a baby in it."

6. "GUTS"

Do you have it?

They say prizes don't matter, but they must not have known the pure glory of being able to take home a piece of mighty Aggro Crag. This show defined what it meant to be a true athlete.

At least the spotters tried harder than the contestants.

5. "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"

It doesn't seem too long ago that I wanted so badly to go on a date with one of these boys.

Also, if you don't know what a PRNDL is, did you even watch this show?

4. "SpongeBob Squarepants"

This show is still relevant on this list because now that we're old enough to understand all the adult humor we never caught or understood when we were little, this show is twice as funny.

3. "Even Stevens"

This show was everything. My first real crush, Shia LaBeouf, starred in every episode. and who could ever forget their musical?

Just saying, there should be a Broadway adaptation.

2. "Arthur"

This show was a goldmine of childhood memories. Arthur and I both shared a love for reading, and I related to D.W. on a personal level, being the sassy little sister. He even had his own music video episode and a Christmas movie, of which I owned both of the soundtracks. No shame.

1. "Legends of the Hidden Temple"


You knew you were in for a treat as soon as you heard the giant talking stone head named Olmec introduce Kirk Fogg, this Nickelodeon GAS TV show's somewhat creepy host. Not only did you have to have some physical strength to be on this show, you had to have some intelligence, too.

At least, enough intelligence to be able to put together a three-piece silver monkey.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
