YOU'RE NEVER TOO YOUNG TO THINK ABOUT THE GOOD OL' DAYS

Remember Teletubbies, Lizzie McGuire and DDR?

YOU'RE NEVER TOO YOUNG TO THINK ABOUT THE GOOD OL' DAYS
Megan McLellan

You’ve probably heard your parents talk about the good ol' days. They talk about TV shows, music groups and other fads that were popular when they were young.

I have to admit, I’m starting to do the same thing. Although I’m only 20, there are a lot of things from my childhood that only kids of my generation can relate to. Sometimes when my friends get together, we talk about the sweet, fun and even awkward memories.

If you’re in my age group, here are a few things that you might remember:

-Wishing you could sit on “The Big Comfy Couch” with Loonette and Molly. Looking for dust bunnies under the couch and lying on the floor to do the clock stretch.

-Watching those creepy little Teletubbies who never really talked except when they wanted “tubby toast” or “tubby custard.” Po was my personal favorite, although Tinky Winky, Laa-Laa and Dipsy were pretty cool, too.

-Dreaming of being a Disney princess - it didn’t matter which one, they all were beautiful, and you wanted to be any one of them, or all of them.

-Getting an American Girl doll: the most wonderful gift of all.

-Bringing your Littlest Pet Shop pets to play with at recess. Who would have thought that some of these little pets would end up being collectibles?

-Crying every time Nick Jonas sang “A Little Bit Longer,” especially when he got to the part, “I’ll be fine.”

-Buying “High School Musical” sing-a-long so you could be Gabriella, fall in love with Troy and sing “Start of Something New".

-Collecting every furry Webkinz you could get, and even getting your grandpa to pay crazy prices when new ones were released.

-Covering your bedroom walls with pictures of the Jones Brothers and trying to figure out which brother you would marry. Nick, of course.

- Playing “DDR” (Dance Dance Revolution) at every birthday party and sleepover and having the kid (who always said they never practiced) win every game.

-Cheering when Lizzie McGuire sings “What Dreams Are Made Of” as she lives the dream in Italy onstage with Isabella (why does she look just like Lizzie?).

- Knowing every single lyric of Hilary Duff’s “So Yesterday.”

-Hoping that no one other than Lily, Jackson, Oliver or Robby Ray would find out the Miley is actually Hannah Montana.

-Reading The Clique series of books. As if middle school cliques didn’t give us enough drama, we collected books about Massie and her crazy cliques. “Ah-mazing.”

-Obsessing about your Nintendogs: taking them for walks, feeding them, caring for them, and the best part, competing in agility contests to earn your puppies a seaside home.

-Buying clothes at Limited Too, then being excited about moving up to Aeropostale and then, finally, to American Eagle.

My grandma says every stage and age has its special memories- cherish them.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
