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."

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.

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.
