20 Super Fly Things Only '90s Babies Will Remember

Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, beats the '90s! The hair was weird, the phones were huge, the clothes were wacky, and we all thought the toys were out of this world! Don't even get me started on the TV shows. Maybe we didn't have the smart phones and tablets that today's kids have, but what we did have was so much more. The '90s were undeniably a golden era for children everywhere!

Here is a list of things that only those who were lucky enough to be born in the '90s will remember.

1. A Furby

For some odd reason, we looked into those cold, lifeless eyes and fell in love.

2. Gameboys

We could play all of the games!

3. Answering every insult with “I know you are, but what am I?”

4. Fortune tellers

Remember the days when your future was decided by a folded up piece of paper?

5. You used this phrase way more than you should have.

6. Beanie babies

Everyone and their mom had a collection of these!

7. Oreo O’s

What is better than Oreos for breakfast?!

8. EZ Squirt Ketchup

Purple ketchup. Need I say more?

9. Making sure your homework was done before 6 p.m. so you could watch this.


10. Coupon Dispensers

The best part about going grocery shopping with your mom was running around the store and pulling as many of these as you could before she threatened to disown you.

11. Tamagotchis

Your Tamagotchi was your life, and you dedicated all of your time to making sure your pet was thriving.

12. Pokemon cards

These things were all the rage! Even if you had no idea how to play, you still begged your parents for a pack every time you went to the store.

13. All of the cartoons

The 90s had all of the great cartoons. It was the beginning of The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Scooby Doo, and so many more. You LIVED for Saturday morning cartoons!

14. The OG iPod

15. Butterfly hair clips

So. Many. Clips.

16. You had one goal in life and it was to beat this game.

17. You tried to push all of these down at the same time

18. Using VHS tapes because DVDs weren’t a thing.

19. And having to go here to get them.

20. Rolling in on the first day of school with these in your backpack.

Thank you, Lisa Frank, for letting us learn in style.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
