    Well, Joey couldn't afford anything, so Chandler paid for everything. Not sure that Chandler's job would let him afford an apartment in NY, but we are going to pretend that it did. The best part is that Monica's apartment (previously her grandmothers) was rent controlled, and she inherited that. Rachel was a spoiled brat until she wasn't, and got a good job in fashion. Until then, I don't know how she afforded anything. And that is how the reality of Friends and TV works.

    For most of us, childhood was the simplest and easiest period of our lives. Mom and Dad made all of our decisions for us, we had plenty of free time to play sports, hang out with friends and focus on our hobbies. And we felt invincible! There was no such thing as feeling sore after spending a day in the sun swimming or cycling for hours on end around the neighborhood. Now, it’s hard to even remember a day when I didn’t have back pain!

    ADVERTISEMENT

    If you had a special childhood, it makes sense to want to look back on those beautiful memories every now and then. But Sam Brodsky at WonderMind pointed out that it seems like everyone has been incredibly nostalgic over the past few years. So why is that? Well, according to existential psychologist Clay Routledge, PhD, nostalgia is actually instinctual.

    Dr. Routlege notes that nostalgia is often an automatic response when we see, smell or hear something that takes us back to the past. Smells, in particular, have an incredible ability to transport us back to Grandma’s house on a summer evening, your 3rd grade classroom or the home you grew up in.

    And when we hear a song that immediately reminds us of a strong memory, we don’t even have to try to think about the past. Our mind instantly goes there because we associate that song with prom night, that film with the first date you ever went on or that character with the Christmas you had the flu.

    When I was a kid, I experienced a third version: the fiberglass pool-slide. You needed to have the little water-sprayer nozzle turned on at the top to help you slide down it into the pool. One day I was feeling brave (which my adult brain now identifies as "stupid") and decided to try going down the slide while it was dry. Let's just say that I regretted it immediately and tried to escape/grab the side of the slide, but ended up going down the slide on my side, and I got a version of "road rash" from my heineken all the way to my armpit XD

    Nostalgia can also serve a practical purpose when we use it as a coping mechanism. Dr. Routledge explains that it can help us get through tough times, such as the pandemic or the loss of a loved one, if we use it to remember a time when we were much happier and life was much simpler. Watching your favorite movie from childhood might take you back to when you were full of joy and hope and truly believed you were capable of accomplishing anything. In this way, nostalgia can sometimes prevent us from spiraling.

    At the same time, nostalgia can often bring people together. Just like the memes on this list, being reminded of a childhood experience you loved, and finding out that thousands of other people feel the same way, can make you feel closer to them. You’re not the only person who remembers that specific salty snack or that one episode of Rugrats. It can be comforting to know that you have something in common with all of these other people from your generation.

    I had the worst luck with grandmothers. One ignored me completely, the other one was either ignoring me or being hostile. Both grandfathers died before I was born but for sure they wouldn't like me either.

    National Geographic also notes that our brains are hardwired to crave nostalgia. “Familiar media from our past brings us emotional comfort, but it also meets a cognitive need: it encourages the belief that things will get better because they’ve been good before,” Krystine Batcho, a psychology professor at LeMoyne College, told National Geographic.

    No, just like in this example that wasn't the point, is not that Andie was "ugly" is that she wasn't stylish enough, specifically for that job (the ending is very clear how she ends up finding a middle ground)

    However, when we look back on the past, we have to be careful not to only view it through rose-colored glasses. We tend to focus on the best parts of our own history, whether that be a previous romantic relationship, former job or friendship that fizzled out. But this can make a person feel less satisfied with their current situation, even if there were some terrible aspects of the past and are some wonderful aspects of where they are now.

    When indulging in nostalgia, try to avoid falling into the trap of romanticizing the past (and catastrophizing the present). Be grateful for those experiences, but don’t get stuck in them. After all, you still have a whole life ahead of you, no matter how old you are! Remember that you can make new, wonderful memories every day. And even if you’re in a rough place, things will always get better. One day, you might even be nostalgic for the you that’s reading this article!

    My daughter had to make one in grade school and I was so proud of the work she put into it. She came home and said it's the worst one. I didn't believe her - it was great! Then I went to the school and saw all the kids' dioramas in the library. Hers was definitely not on par with most of them. Why? BECAUSE THE PARENTS MADE THEM. The next time she had a project, while she did the research, I did a lot of the work. Guess what? I got an A! Still makes me mad.

I worked at a Mazda dealer and all of the local dominos bought them from us (B2000 or B2200). Every single truck ended up in the body shop unless totaled. They had to drop the 30 min guarantee because the insurance company was dropping them because of claims and lawsuits.

    I loved the Tastykake stuff too! When I was a kid, we didn't have them where I live (Southern California) EXCEPT for this one hole-in-the-wall Philly cheesesteak place. Us kids would bike there as a horde on Saturdays JUST to stock up on Tastykake items XD The place also sold some bottled sodas in brands and flavors that none of us had ever seen anywhere else, either. The best part? I'm 43 now and that Philly cheesesteak place is still there, and they still sell Tastykake products and bottled birch beer :D

    I'm 61. There was all kinds of after school on the UHF stations Wee Willie Webber hosted cartoons Lime Astro Boy and Speed Racer, there was Sally Starr, New Zoo Revue, and the Banana Splits. Stand Alone caroons like The Mighty Hercules, Loonet Tunes, Hanna Barbara...and of course reruns like The Addams Family, The Munsters, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie. There were multitudes of options on so many fewer channels. I'm the 90's, early 2000's, when my kids were teens, there were no restrictions on cable networks to keep adult content for later hours. I was shocked to see rated R movies and softcore p**n so easily accessible. Had rounds put a lock on my cable box (option on settings that the cable could not be turned on before 18:00 without a password)
