10 Pop Culture Artifacts From The '90s Today's College Kids STILL Love & Use

NBC Productions

Everyone groans when they see that something from __ decade is coming back. Why don't we rejoice? We liked them back then, what is so wrong with liking them now? I believe that some '90s items need to be brought back.

"Why," you say? Look through my list and tell me that you don't think college students today would benefit from these "'90s items."

1. Multicolor Pens

When you are reading over your material for class; instead of using one highlighter, then putting it down and picking up a different color, you could just use this and not have to worry about the highlighter drying out while you aren’t using it.

2. Rabbit’s Foot

For some reason, whenever I had a rabbit foot, I felt like I could accomplish anything. I’m sure some of y’all need this for those tests. (DISCLAIMER: If you don’t study; you won’t pass. A Rabbit Foot cannot replace studying.)

3. MASH

One way to determine your future if you choose a particular major. You can determine the different outcomes that the job can impact.

4. Oregon Trail

This game taught you patience. Now, look at how impatient we are when an ad pops up during a game we are playing on our phones. I know I cannot wait until that dang x pops up.

5. Garfield Glasses

Life is so much better when you can laugh. These will help you get through your day.

6. Brain Quest

Yes, sometimes our classes challenge our mind but often times, our brain doesn’t get challenged enough anymore. I mean, we Google when we don’t know something instead of researching it ourselves. Enter Brain Quest.

7. Crayola Mini Stamps Markers

This would make your notes more entertaining to study! Or make note-taking so much more interesting...

8. Tamagotchi

There still isn’t an app like this game out there. If we were only as diligent in our school work as we were feeding this little guy…

9. Inline Skates

Remember that morning that your alarm didn’t go off so you woke up late, had to run to the bus stop, ride the bus that dropped you off nowhere near your class, and then you had to run? Imagine how much quicker it would be to skate your way there.

10. Cootie Catcher

You can use this to determine how you are going to spend money. Or what you are going to eat...
"Red. 3. 8. Ramen Noodles it is."

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.
