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.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
