For those of us ages 14 years old to 36 years old, there are a few things we love more than coke. One of those is the 1990s, a decade when life was all play, no work.

It is no surprise that we are constantly bringing back trends from the '90s. There is even a '90s nostalgia box you can subscribe to and once a month, get '90s items delivered to your door.

We have a hard time leaving things in the past and I guarantee you saw at least 10 of these items today.

1. Scrunchies.

The perfect hair accessory to take your hair from drab to fab.

2. Doc Martins.

Combat boots are so bad ass and practical.

3. Overalls.

Leave one strap off and you have reached the pinnacle of the '90s.

4. Grunge.

Thank you, Seattle.

5. Birkenstocks.

They are comfortable and will last forever. Sign me up.

6. Jelly Sandals.

Bonus points if they have glitter.

7. Skate tees.

Appropriating skater culture is so '90s.

9. One pant leg tucked into your sock.

This one is mainly due to Eleven's bad ass entrance in "Stranger Things 2."

10. Bleached hair.

Frosted tips never looked so good.

11. Crop tops.

Boys, please get in on this.

12. Mom jeans.

Comfortable and sexy. Let's go to the thrift store ASAP.

13. Neon windbreakers.

The wind never stood a chance against this fashion trend.

14. Adidas superstars.

*Insert bad pun about being a superstar here*

15. Striped Sweaters.

Oversized and comfortable for the win.

16. Ripped jeans

Wear hole or tear hole?

17. Flannels.

Tie them around your waist or wear them properly. They are hot regardless.

18. New Balance sneakers.

Dad shoes are the greatest thing since the '90s.

19. Turtlenecks.

Thank God for turtlenecks because they make the winter bearable.

20. Bucket Hats.

Value village trip, anyone?

21. Timberland boots.

These are no longer just an NY thing.

22. Tommy Hilfiger.

Tommy Hilfiger is the new Calvin Klein.

23. Chokers.

Fair warning. You will probably receive dad jokes about not being able to breathe.

24. Brown Lipstick.

No one does this better than Kylie.

25. Platform shoes.

Added height but also added risk of breaking your ankle.

26. Denim.

Canadian suit, baby.

27. Pixie hair cuts.

These are gorgeous.

28. Butterfly clips.

These make me feel like a kid again and I low-key love it.

29. Bowl cuts.

OK, these could probably could have been left behind.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
