We all miss the good old days.

If you were born in the 90s you grew up with some pretty amazing fads. These fads were introduced to us through television. We all have that one thing growing up that we held near and dear to our hearts, but like all good things they eventually fade. I took some people born in the 90s and asked them what were some things that they missed from their childhood. Here are some of their answers.

1. Mullets: Eli, 1997

The mullet was the stuff of legends. It even had its own catchphrase, “Business in the front, party in the back." Made famous by one Billy Ray Cyrus and Uncle Jesse, we still see many others try to continue this fashion, but can’t bring back to save its life.

2. Tech Decks: Kate, 1996

If you were bored, you knew you needed something to pass the time. If you have the finger skateboard you were the coolest kid in class. You learned tricks to do with your fingers that only Tony Hawk could dream of doing. But even though you try to master skills, it was still taken away by the teacher when it would hit the ground one too many times.

3. Magna Doodle: Lily, 1998

Your beginning stages of being an artist were started on the Magna Doodle. This gave you a sense of creativity without making a mess with markers and paint. This coolest thing you could do with this is to hover the board, and be able to still draw, and once your creation was finished you could erase it.

4. Easy Bake Oven: Kyla, 1998

The culinary arts are begun at an early age. Seeing the commercial I remember thinking of all the endless possibilities you could make with this oven. Now looking back, I can see that none of the stuff came out how I wanted it to be, leaving me a stressful mess.

5. Waterbeds: Grace, 1995

At one point or another, you have interacted with a waterbed. Being on this bed made you feel like you were on a boat and you were sailing the seas. Hopefully, you weren’t sick because you would end up feeling very sick.

6. Scrunchies: Rachel, 1994

Somewhere in your closet, there is a collection of these. Endless years of having your hair pulled into one of these. Once and a while you will go into the depths of your closet and pull a few out and relieve the glory days.

7. Tamagotchi: Victoria, 1992

This device came in handy when your parents told you that you couldn’t have a pet. This helped you prove your point that you were able to take care of an animal. Having someone that depended on you was a great responsibility in the eyes of a five-year-old. However, we all knew that our animals died because we forgot to feed them, and we were left with no pets.

8. Gameboy Color: Steven, 1990

Having your own device instead of sharing it was amazing. You could get different games that made you fall in love with gaming. I remember playing Tetris on it and different arcade games. This gave you a sense of dependence and learned how to fix any problem by just blowing on the cartridge.

9. Furby: Joanne, 1991

I don’t know who would want this creepy toy staring at you. The Furby was your very own watcher in the night. The worst part of having this toy was when it would go off at night without any warning.

10. BopIt!: Bri, 1997

This was one of the greatest and most frustrating games. I remember walking through the store and seeing it propped up on one of the aisles. The temptation was too much for me so I grabbed it and would listen to the voice telling me what to do. Before you know it, two hours have gone by and your mom has to use the intercom to get to you.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
