15 Phrases Only 90s Kids Will Understand
Ali Express

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
