11 Pieces of 90s Nostalgia
Millennial Underground

Greetings. If you're like me, the 1990s were a quintessential part of your childhood. Even though some of the trends were -- let's be honest -- shudder-worthy, it was still a good era, chock full of sweet, sweet childhood memories.

Wanna take a trip down memory lane? Here are 11 items guaranteed to bring back that good old 90s nostalgia in you.


1. The VHS Tape

Remember these bad boys?


2. Nickelodeon Cartoons

Ah, who could forget those classics? Hey, Arnold!; Rugrats; Catdog; etc... The list goes on and on.


3. Willy Wonka Candy

If that wasn't the bomb.com, I don't know what was...


4. Vintage Disney Channel

My personal favorite, *sniff* who else misses these shows? I (for one) DO!! OK, so this is not all-inclusive and some of these are a little after the 90s, but let's be honest -- did the 90s really end before 2005? I didn't think so.


5. Boy Bands

Let's be honest: we all secretly loved them, even if we didn't want to admit it. Also, I bet you're singing along to this one right now in your head. You're welcome.


6. Snap Bracelets

This was mainly a girl trend, but I bet every one of us remembers seeing these. The fun bonus was snapping it over your wrist just to watch it curl up, providing hours of fun entertainment.


7. Cassette Tapes

Here's another one of our handy-dandy technological wonders from the 90s. CDs? Psssh. What were you, rich? And let's not forget the fun of a tape that lost all its insides and messed up. Good times.


8. Beanie Babies

Any collectors here? Don't be embarrassed -- we all bought into the fad. Nowadays, some of those plushies might be worth a pretty penny, too,


9. The Skip-It

All the cool kids had them. If fortune smiled upon you, maybe you got to borrow someone else's at recess.


10. Platform Flip-Flops

Alright, so nowadays we realize what a monstrosity these were, but back then they were the shoes every girl wanted to have. Why? Because they were "cool."



11. Fanny Packs

Come on, we can't forget this gem. In terms of practicality, fanny packs were not a bad idea. Still, look at them... don't they bring back some memories?


Ah, the 90s, you were good to us -- metaphorically speaking. Even though there were a lot of, shall we say, questionable trends in this decade, we can't deny the fond nostalgia it brings us, and for that, we will be eternally grateful -- and hopefully a little wiser for it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
