10 Things '90s Kids Will Never Forget

10 Things '90s Kids Will Never Forget

1. Dinosaur Oatmeal

The best part was trying to find all the sugar eggs before they melted in the hot oatmeal. This was the kind of breakfast your mom never let you eat more than once a week.


2. Furbies

Nobody was quite sure what type of animal this toy was supposed to resemble. You could turn them off, put them in a closet, and they would still keep on talking.


3. Ring Pops

You were automatically deemed awesome if you brought one of these to school in your lunchbox, or to a playdate with a friend. Many hours were spent after school begging your mom to let you try the newest flavor.


4. Bop It!

You know you were always jealous of that one person that could play forever on this thing, while you were stuck twisting it when you should've been bopping it!


5. Jelly Bracelets

These, eventually, got banned from some schools because of the constant mess and distraction they caused. As I remember, each color had a different meaning and if you broke one you were in deep trouble.


6. Easy Bake Ovens

No mini chocolate chip cookie or cake will ever measure up to the ones made in this little oven. Using the tiny spatula to retrieve the tiny tin of cakes was by far the most exciting part.


7. Hit Clips

These little guys were so easy and cheap to collect. Hit Clips only carried the classic songs, of course (like "Bye Bye Bye" and "A Thousand Miles").


8. Jellies

You could sport these with any outfit imaginable. The best ones were infused with glitter and could probably be bought for about a dollar.


9. Bear in the Big Blue House

I bet you had no idea just how much you missed this show until reading this. Bear had epic problem solving skills and with the help of his friends, (the lemur, the bear cup, the mouse, and 'shadow') passed on those skills to us '90s kids.


10. Portable CD Players

If you were walking down the street with one of these in your hand, you were more than likely getting bombarded by your friends wanting to listen and see which new hot CD you had.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
