10 Reason Being A 90's Kid Rocked

It was a time for change, tragedy, and smile-worthy memories.

10 Reason Being A 90's Kid Rocked

1. Cartoons.

Have you noticed that the cartoon shows today are pretty lame? Back in the '90s, Saturday mornings meant marathons of "Doug," "Hey Arnold!,"" Rugrats," "Courage the Cowardly Dog," and many more. These shows made being a '90s kid worthwhile, even if they were just on for 30 minutes.

2. Fewer electronics.

Growing up in the '90s, we didn’t have as many electronics as kids do today. Instead, most of us had a Super Nintendo, GameBoy, or maybe just maybe a PlayStation. But we always found ourselves playing outside, almost every day. Back then, going outside was worth the time and the trouble (see: Ding Dong Ditch). Playing games like tag, hide and seek, and red light, green light was significantly more rewarding than staring at screens.

3. Disney Channel.

Even though I mentioned cartoon shows, Disney Channel deserves its own category. Back then, Disney shows didn't repeat the premise of a show over and over again (like "Liv and Maddie" when Disney ran out of twins). On that note, it was also rare to use the same actors for more than two shows. Oh, and let's not forget about those movies that were actually good.

4. This gets its own number. Don't ask.

5. Bill Nye The Science Guy.

Nothing will compare to the feeling of walking into your science classroom and seeing this picture on the roll-in television.

6. Awesome game shows.

Guts, Wild and Crazy Kids, Double Dare 2000, Legends of the Hidden Tomb -- should I really keep this going? This is probably hurting someone feelings out there... millennial kids.

7. Music used to be art.

Tupac, B.I.G., Wu-Tang Clan, N’sync, Backstreet Boys, and 98 degrees -- just to name a few. If these names sound familiar, well, they should. These individuals were real artists. What happen to music that used to come from the heart.

8. VHS tapes had personality.

I’m looking at you, Nickelodeon.

9. Remember these?

10. It’s alright, because you're...

And even though we tell the millennial kids they have it easy, we can always look back on this decade and say…

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
