20 Items That Made You "Cool" In Elementary School In The 90s

If you were a kid born in the 90s, then you know what it was like to have a childhood filled with of all the best kinds of toys! We were imaginative, playful kids always making up something to do. More often than not, these activities were always filled with our toys and imagination, the items that could never compare to a game that today's kids download from the app store. Here’s a list of some of the best items that all of the elementary school kids had in the 2000's that made you the cool kid on the block!


1. Tamagotchis

You also probably tried to play it in your desk during class so you could attempt to keep them alive...

2. Nintendo Game Boy

You were even cooler if you had the Game Boy Color.

3. CD Walkman

You had to listen to it during recess in order to show off your coolness!

4. Polly Pockets

Move over Barbie...

5. American Girl Dolls

Bitty Babies, Look-Alikes, Girl of the Year or the Forever girls...you wanted one of each.

6. Easy Bake Oven

How many bad cakes did you make your parents eat?

7. Smencils

They smelt so good back then....

8. Anything and everything Foohy

Smelly erasers, rulers, pencil sharpeners... they had it all, and the more you have the cooler you were!

9. Mighty Beanz

What were even the point of these?

10. Lunchables

If you weren't buying "Hot Lunch," then these made you the cool kid at the table...

11. Cats Cradle

Who knew a string could be so entertaining?

12. Your parent's old cell phone

You couldn't do anything with it, but yet it was still cool to have.

13. Webkinz

You would search every store for one of these, except most stores would always sell out within a day of shipment!

14. YoYo ball

We could never master the use of an actual yoyo...

15. Password Journal

Easy to open without the password, but you wrote your crushes name basically on every page!

16. Skip it

The cool ones counted your amount of "skips."

17. 64 pack crayons with the sharpener

Did you ever actually use the sharpener?

18. Pens with multiple colors

And we were all guilty of trying to push all the colors at once!

19. Pokemon Cards

You had to collect them all...

20. Razor Scooters

And our ankles will never forgive us...


Feeling the flashbacks? Were you a "cool kid?"

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break.

Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
