10 Reasons Why The '90s Was The Best Decade Ever
Key Word Suggestions

We all know the people who had the most fun in life lived in the '90s. There's no argument that it's THE GREATEST decade by far, but if you still have doubts, here's 10 reminders why the '90s were the best.

1. The music

Don't get me wrong, rap is good, but when you really want to jam out you turn on some classic 90's music. Cue Brittney Spears and U2.

2. The dances

The best part of any large get together is still when the Electric Slide comes on. Don't forget the Macarena and Cotton Eyed Joe.

3. Grunge

There's nothing comfier than a nice, large flannel. Plus you can throw on almost anything in the morning and call it fashion. Win-win.

4. The best sitcoms

Why are there always reruns from the 90's playing? Because shows like Full House, Seinfeld, and Friends existed. Not gonna lie if you don't have a girl-crush on Jennifer Aniston there's something seriously wrong with you and you should seek medical attention immediately.

5. Social media didn't exist

The 90's were ideal because just the right amount of technology existed. There were all the necessities like electricity, indoor plumbing, and air conditioning, but it was before everyone became obsessed with social media and forgot how to communicate with one another.

6. Cute dancing boys

Boy bands were all the rage in the 90's, which meant you could watch cute dancing boys on TV and pretend like they were serenading you.

7. It was still cool to read books

Hobbies include: staying in and reading a good book all day.

8. Fanny packs!!!

Okay, to be honest, I don't know why these were a fad. They're fun and practical! What more could you ask for?!?!


9. Rollerblading and milkshake dates

This is probably the cutest thing ever. Like I want a cute boy to ask me to share and milkshake with them, then grab my hand as we're skating around the rink.

10. Chokers.

They're back. And I love it.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
