15 Phrases Only 90s Kids Will Understand

We didn't have iPhones while we were in middle school, we had razors instead. We had to ride our bikes to our neighbors to see who wanted to come outside and play, we didn't have iMessage. In fact, our "iMessage" was AIM, and if it was raining, instead of walking to your friends house you would sign on to AOL, see who was on and who had an "away" message. Here's to all the kids who grew up like me and will only understand these 15 phrases in the same way I will.

1. “What’s your screenname?”

If you didn’t have at least three “x’s” in your name you were doing it wrong. Spell the words the right way? Never.

2. “Go to the bathroom and say Bloody Mary three times to see what happens.”

We all did it and when nothing happened we still screamed and walked out of the bathroom like something did happen.

3. “Anyone wanna play M.A.S.H.?”

Let’s be honest, you played until you got the results you wanted. If you never did, you cheated.

4. “Zetus lapetus!”

Zeon gave us our favorite catch phrases, new make up trends, and made us all want to go to school on the moon.

5. “Concentration 64. No repeats. Or hesitations. I will start. By naming names.”

This was the game you had to play on the blacktop during recess, but it was even better when you got to play during indoor recess.

6. *Calls landline phone* “Hi this is ____ is _____ home? Can he/she come over and play?”

You never had to worry about going over your data limit or not having unlimited minutes on your phone, because having a cell phone was cool, but calling your best friend on the house phone was so much easier.

7. “I forgot to feed my tomogatchi!”

Poor thing, it went 8 whole hours without eating so he died. No worries though, grab a pencil and stick it in the back of your little gadget and wait for your new egg to hatch.

8. “Have mercy!”

Uncle Jesse was the cutest uncle that lived in the Tanner household and everyone had a crush on him, am I right?

9. We all wanted to have what Corey & Tapanga have.

What is this "Girl Meets World" show? This generation should be blessed with "Boy Meets World" re-runs. No one gave advice like Mr. Feeney did.

10. “Go home Rodger!”

Double trouble, sister sister, they both had the same boy interested in them. Of course, neither of them wanted anything to do with him.

11. “In West Philedelphia born and raised…”

I think i speak for us all, this was the only rap our parents let us know every word to...

12. “Are you still in her top 10 friends? I went from number 3 to number 8!”

You knew when your friends were mad at you, who was best friends with who that week, and who the knew couple was, all thanks to your top 10 MySpace friends.

13. “Oh, snap!”

Of course this line was always followed by a vision seen by the one and only Raven.

14. “Loser, loser, double loser, as if, whatever, get the picture… duh.”

Don’t forget to put the “L” on your forehead, either.

15. “If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.”

This song always spiced up the party and had everyone singing along and all the girls dancing.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
