We all like to think that age is just a number. And it kinda works until you come across a relic from the old times. Your heart starts pumping, and you gotta tell yourself "I ain’t a kid no more."

So when someone started the "I’m this old" Twitter challenge, it blew up in an instant. People started sharing pictures of old-school stuff that best represents how old they’ve gotten. From Myspace accounts and floppy disks to Accelerated Reader and Yogos Bits, there’s a relatable thing for virtually everyone. So let’s go down memory lane, where everything feels so much more recent than it actually is.

Those buttons were hard to push. I guess because you had to move water with that button.I loved the way plastic smelled in the '80's. These things and jelly shoes.

    We had a whole cabinet full of CDs (over 500 albums), but it took up so much space so we caved, went fully digital and transferred them all to cases like this. Chucked all the jewel cases away & just kept the disk & sleeve art. My living room is grateful!

    If any of these objects seem familiar, there’s a great chance you belong to the millennial generation, which covers anyone born from 1981 to 1996. That being said, the youngest millennials are now fully-grown adults. That means we can clearly spot the generational differences in comparison to to Generation X (born from 1965-1980) and baby boomers (born from 1946-1964).

    ADVERTISEMENT

    According to Pew Research Center, millennials make up the 2nd largest generation in the US electorate, “a fact that continues to shape the country’s politics given their Democratic leanings when compared with older generations.” In general, this demographic group is “more educated but there’s a sharp economical divide between those with a college education and those without it.”

    My mother, a teacher, saved a pile of blank attendance sheets that were headed for the recycling bin after the school adopted an iPad-based system. Her colleagues laughed at her for being a Luddite, until the day the WiFi crashed and they all had to ask her for one. Much humble pie was eaten that morning!

I made teachers crazy all through school because my name looks male but is pronounced DeNEE which is a French male name. Nevertheless it is the name that I was given and as I grew, so did my like of having an unusual name for a female. Helpful people have always and still do, change it to Denise. I have to correct them and watch the confusion. One of the small amusements in life.

    To compare with their predecessors, millennials tend to be more conscious about their health and general well-being. A 2013 Aetna poll showed that “baby boomers were likely to define 'healthy' as not falling sick.” Meanwhile, millennials consider healthy eating habits and physical activity as the definitions of healthy. That explains why we have seen such a rise in food preferences like vegan, gluten-free, organic, and other natural alternatives.

    On the other hand, there’s a steady tendency of decline in millennial homeownership. Business Insider suggests that this is due to the fact that as a whole “they have less money than their parents did at the same age.” According to this report titled “Are Millennials Different?” by The Federal Reserve: millennials have lower earnings, fewer assets, and less wealth compared to baby boomers.

    The only thing I remember about the Titanic was the scene where DiCrapio's a*s was buck naked. I had been dragged along by a group of friends- among whom was a cute girl, who I had all the charm to, apparently, spoil the ending. (The ship sinks.) In any case, the scene is memorable, because we were seated right in front of a gaggle of old ladies who apparently went ten times, expressly for this scene. The old ladies were vastly more entertaining than the entire movie.

By 3rd grade I was playing against the 5th graders, and by 5th grade I also had that mean right arm. So much fun. I was short, but I could take on the tall kids. I would swing it high, with the follow up hits, take 'em out. I was so sad because our middle school didn't have them & my parents refused to get me another one because I had broken the last two. (They weren't sturdy enough) I wish it could be an Olympic game! XD

There was a game that you could play with them but I never knew how. We just collected them. They had a few different sets like Looney Tunes, The Simpsons, Space Jam, The Cheeto Cheetah etc.

    Yeah, I worked in a museum and during class tour season we used to see these damn things all over the carpets, the escalators, the sidewalks outside, and the landscaping. The museum finally banned them and ejected anyone who set one off, which meant that one student could get the whole class thrown out.

I bought maybe 5 of them and for the next month, I wrote all over the walls with those pens. Recently, I had a neon party at my house, and we had those blacklights there...

    My parents used one on one of my brothers because he was the kind of kid who would just take off running in the middle of a crowd. It works great; it lets the kid walk on their own two feet (as opposed to being in a stroller or being carried) without the risk of losing them.
