If You Grew Up in the '00s, These School Memories Will Be TOO Real

No matter how old you are, the Fall season is defined by the back-to-school feels. If you're a kid who grew up in the '00s, a lot of those feels are defined by memories that were SUPER cool when you were trying to fit in with your classmates and maybe not so amazing now as an adult. The good news is that we all went through it together, so you're not alone — we loved that stuff too! Cringe and giggle through some of those memories ahead that will pull on your nostalgia strings, and maybe convince you to hop on eBay to see if you can bring any of those good ol' days back.
