29 Proven ‘90s Nostalgia Triggers Millennials Consume Like Cocaine

Paramount Pictures

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.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
