11 Reasons Why The 90s Were The Best

Only 90s kids will understand...

11 Reasons Why The 90s Were The Best

It's often debated which decade is the best. Most people argue it's the 1960's or 1980's, but considering I didn't live through those years, and don't have a point of reference, I would say it's the 1990's. Not only that, but let's just take a look at everything that happened and came to be in that decade!

1. FASHION



If you're around my age, our wardrobes consisted of footie pajamas, Disney shirts, or those little jean overall sets from Baby Gap. For others, it was a much different story. Imagine swishing your way across campus in a windbreaker--cute, right? We can thank the 90s for grunge-y trends we still keep up today, a combo such as button-down flannel shirts paired with T-shirts underneath, ripped jeans and combat boots.

And we can't forget that the '90s were when the world was introduced to the ultimate fashion goddess, Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City"!

2. MUSIC


Boy bands, B. Spears, The Spice Girls, and so much more....who were your favorites?

3. TV SHOWS





I still watch shows from the 90s. The sitcoms made you feel good afterwards and the dramas made you chuckle with their over-acting. The fashion was FABULOUS and the comedy was sillier, too. Also: SATURDAY CARTOONS!


4. MOVIES






5. GAMES AND TOYS


Before we had phones and computers, we had board games and squirt guns. Handheld games kept us occupied on long car trips. Definitely simpler times.

6. CELEBS

Boy bands galore! Scandalous government officials! And of course, WE, the future of the country, the 90's kids!

7. BOOKS



We can thank this decade for introducing us to "Harry Potter," "Perks of Being a Wallflower," and "A Series of Unfortunate Events," of course!


The coolest, yet weirdest, children had those bad boys above too.

8. TECHNOLOGY




In the time before iPhones and Androids, we had basic cell phones, HIT CLIPS! Gameboys and Tamagotchis...I wanted all of it and still secretly wish I had these things.

9. SCIENCE




I'm no science buff, but even I admit stuff was pretty cool. Like, cloning a sheep?? Space adventures?? WE NEED MORE OF THAT!!

10. HAIR



Popular hairdos included: The Rachel haircut, side ponytails, boys with middle parted long hair and boys with blonde hair that slightly resembles Ramen Noodles.

11. 90'S KIDS (we had it best)



And let's not forget, most of us were mere kids at some point during this decade. We could sleep in and watch Saturday morning cartoons in our footie pajamas. Our diets consisted of popsicles, capri sun juice pouches and Happy Meals on special occasions. WE HAD NAP TIME. Our biggest worries were whether or not we got the good crayons to color with or which movie to rent from the video store. We didn't have to study for exams or go to work after class. What a life!


IN SUMMARY:
The 90s. Were. Awesome.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
