School starting has stirred a certain nostalgia
in me, thinking about autumn days gone by and the thrill of youth. I think most of us
can agree that the elementary school years were glorious. Most days my only
homework was studying spelling words, and my biggest worry was tracking
playground dust in the house. Ah to be a kid again.

Things I Miss About Being a Kid
1. Tire Swings. A playground sport.
2. McDonald's Happy Meals. Pure joy in a convenient,
oddly shaped cardboard box.
3. Fads. Beanie
Babies, Tamagotchis, Pokemon cards, yo-yos, gel pens, and ANYTHING that came from the vending machines at Skateworld.
4. Jump ropes. A recess favorite.
5. Packed lunches. My mom was the bomb at
making PB&J's!
6. Cool backpacks. A kid in my fourth
grade class had an N*Sync backpack. Amazing.
7. After-School TV. 3 pm was Primetime
back in the day. Favorite show: Arthur.
8. Picture books. How awesome was it
to open a book and see more shapes and colors than words?!
9. Frozen Go-Gurts. Do they even make
Go-Gurt anymore!?
10. Seeing the
world through the lens of possibility. Imagination is so under-rated.
