11 Things We Need To Bring Back From The '90s

What better than bringing back a small taste of our childhood?

11 Things We Need To Bring Back From The '90s

With "Fuller House" making its long awaited debut this past week, I think it got all of us millennials in our feels about our childhood. I know it brought me back to my childhood and had me reminiscing on all things '90s. Here a few things that I miss even more now, and I'm sure you might feel the same way.

1. Dunkaroos

These snacks were one of the best things of my entire childhood. The snack every child wanted in their lunch box. The icing was also the best part, am I right?

2. Hit Clips


The o.g. iPod, my friends. These things might have only played about 30 seconds of your favorite songs, but we carried them everywhere.

3. Tamagotchis

Before we were allowed to have pets, we had Tamagotchis. Our own little pocket pets, that always ended up dying.

4. Gel Pens

These pens made school and homework actually fun. I mean who didn't have a couple of these in their backpack?

5. All Things Lisa Frank

Lisa made the best coloring books, stickers, folders and backpacks. Every girl had to have them and was probably decked out in straight Lisa Frank at school.

6. AOL Instant Messenger


When we were in elementary school, we weren't allowed to have cell phones. So every day, when you got home from school you sat down at the computer and stayed on talking to your friends for hours. This was the o.g. Snapchat.

7. Myspace

I don't know about y'all, but I miss the days of being an HTML code pro, embedding music, changing my background and picking my top friends. I like Facebook, don't get me wrong, but Myspace was the real deal.

8. Furbies

While these things were quite possibly the most annoying things on the Earth, they were cute, and since we couldn't have our own pets these had to do.

9. Bop Its

These contraptions could capture your attention for hours or cause the biggest sibling fights in your household, but boy were they entertaining.

10. Lip Smackers

Every girl loved to collect them and loved to wear them. What happened to the days of an abundance of flavored ChapSticks?

11. Wonder Balls

Every time you went to the grocery store, you had to grab one. These were the perfect mid-day or after school snack. A mixture of chocolate and sourness -- how could you go wrong?

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
