10 Things That Are Sure To Give 90s Kids Nostalgia

As my college graduation begins to draw closer I find myself reflecting on my life more and more, especially my childhood. With the pressure to find a job after graduation weighing on me I have been clinging to happy memories from my past, when things didn't seem so adult and scary. I have been revisiting old TV shows, books, music and even toys I had when I was younger and with each item comes a rush of 90s kid nostalgia. Studies have shown that millennials are more in touch with nostalgic sensations and that companies now a days are specifically targeting our generation with advertisement aimed at evoking those feelings in us. Well, whatever they are doing is totally working. I feel like every time I turn around something from my childhood is coming back into style or being remade or re-released. There are certain things though that are sure to get every kid born in the 90s a total nostalgic buzz.

1. Nintendo 64

It didn't matter who you were, no house hold was complete without this evolutionary game console. Sure you had to take the cartridge out every once in a while and blow on it to make it work, but lets be real, that was half the fun of it.

2. Tamagotchi

What your parents bought you instead of a puppy when you asked for a pet. They were fun at first but then became way too needy for your short attention span to handle so you let them die from neglect.

3. Skip-it

The greatest form of exercise ever invented, until you missed a step and hit the concrete.

4. Block Buster

One of the most, if not the most, exciting places in the world. Movies, candy, toys, what else could a kid ask for?

5. The Rugrats

The original squad goals, those babies taught you more about life than any other show ever has.

6. M.A.S.H

You’re whole future was in the hands of your best friend as you nervously watched them cross off potential spouses, number of children, careers and types of pets.

7. Bill Nye

You knew science class was going to be lit when you walked in and saw the TV cart pulled out. The only science you learned was that Inertia is a property of matter, but at least you had fun, right?

8. Wonder Ball

“What’s in the Wonder Ball?” A potential choking hazard, but still one of the most exciting surprises you'd ever experience.

9. All That

Name a more iconic TV show, I’ll wait.

10. Hit Clips

The original iPod and greatest thing to ever happen to you and your parents ears.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
