When we think of the '90s, fashion icons such as Alicia Silverstone, Drew Barrymore, and Courtney Love may come to our minds. These women were the queens of grunge, a look that has made its comeback in fashion today. Our generation should be proud to be '90s natives; it was the calm before the technology storm, the last time life was truly simple. Plagued by my recent nostalgia, I decided to share the revival of the iconic '90s fashion of my youth. Perhaps by breathing new life into the fashion of our youth, we can pay tribute to the era we hail from and indulge in the carefree lifestyle the trends promote. Consider these classic throwback looks that you may see on the streets this spring.

1. Accent braids: These messy braids are popular everywhere, from music festivals to the runway, and are super easy for an everyday bohemian style.

2. Brown and berry lipstick shades: Balance these bold shades with a simple eye, like Kylie. These lips add a sophisticated touch to your look.

3. Choker necklaces: We can all breathe a sigh of relief, because every '90s girl's favorite accessory is back. Chokers add an edgy touch to any outfit and are fun to layer with other jewelry.

4. Crop tops: The skimpy tops we all hate to love. Britney may have done it first, but these tops are back with a new flavor. Paired with a high waistline, the tops show just the right amount of skin and are versatile enough to dress up or down.

5. Denim jacket: A must-have staple in every '90s kid's closet. This jacket is timeless and can be paired with virtually anything for a casual vibe.

6. Doc Martens: This go-to edgy boot is back with vibrant colors and a variety of textures. The shoe is great for any season and is a versatile option for the girl who has too many clothes and not enough closet space (i.e., every girl).

7. Flannels: Another timeless trend, flannels are cozy and cute, and can be styled for any season. The flannel is the trademark of '90s grunge style. Wear it by itself, over a striped or solid top, or tie it around your waist.

8. Floral skater dress: This dress is an effortlessly feminine reminder of our childhood. Wear this youthful piece with a cute cardigan or denim jacket in the fall or summer.

9. Funky buns: The lazy girl's favorite hair style. Wear two, or just tie half of your hair up into one bun for a laid-back look. This hairdo is everywhere on campus and is the perfect messy updo for those pesky 8 a.m.'s.

10. Jelly sandals: If these don't make you nostalgic for the '90s, nothing will. Jellies are back with quirky new colors and styles. Paired with socks or bare feet, these shoes will never fail to add some pep to your step.

11. Overalls: The '90s kids' unofficial uniform. Overalls are a playful and fun style to explore. Cute new washes and endless layering options make these the perfect sunny-day outfit.

12. Scrunchies: Possibly the most beloved hair accessory of the decade, scrunchies have made a huge comeback. They're so uncool that they're ridiculously cool, and we can't get enough of their retro goodness.

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.
