29 Christmas Gifts You Most Definitely Asked For As A '90s Baby

Tyco Toys

Christmas as a child meant endless surprises and the possibilities of magic. Conversations of Santa's 12 reindeer and the smell of hot cocoa filled the air in the weeks proceeding Christmas Eve as the spirit of the holidays came to light.

In between the overplayed Christmas tunes and long lines at the mall, being a kid always meant thinking of a list of toys you wanted to ask Santa Claus for in hopes you made the nice list that year.

With 2018 around the corner, it seems that lists are growing shorter and prices are escalating as Santa is expected to make more toys with the help of elves that have a background in technology rather than en expertise in woodwork.

Throwing back to the simpler days, when Santa slid down the chimney to deliver gifts promoting creativity and imagination, these 29 toys will make any 90s kid nostalgic and wishing for the good ole' days.

1. Bratz Passion For Fashion Funky Makeover Head

2. Blues Clues Mailbox with booklet

You were even cooler if you had Steve's Couch shaped booklet and awkwardly large crayon to match.

3. The Mystery Machine Tin Lunch Box

4. Toy Story Mr. Mike Voice Changer Tape Recorder

If you weren't lucky enough to unwrap this on Christmas morning as a kid, you can purchase it today on Ebay.com for $296.

5. Lip Smacker Soda Pop Chapstick

Every trip to Limited Too wasn't complete without stocking up on at least three flavors at check out.

6. Plush Reptar Doll

Saturday morning cartoons weren't complete without a bowl of sugary cereal and Reptar sitting at the table.

7. Rocket Power Alarm Clock

If this alarm clock didn't make you want to get up early on a weekend morning and strap on a pair of rollerblades, were you even a Rocket Power fan?

8. Skip It

9. Tomogatchi

Introducing Sims before Sims. Any 90s kid surely had a keychain linking together at least seven different Tomogatchis.

10. Lite Brite

11. Easy Bake Oven

I'm still wondering how powder mixed with water cooked by a light was ever supposed to look like a layered cake with icing.

12. Yu-Gi-Oh Cards

13. Polly Pockets

14. Furby

In all honesty, I spent years afraid of owning a Furby after seeing Gremlins, but eventually came to own a collection of five.

15. Radica Girl Tech Password Journal

I had two brothers that would simply use a butterknife to break in, but that didn't keep me from begging Santa for a password journal as soon a I could write.

16. Gel Pens

17. Conair Quick Braid

This was more of a torture device than a toy, however no sleepover was complete without trying to bedazzle each other's hair with a series of small braids.

18. American Girl Doll

19. Hit Clip

In between the transition from Walkmans to iPods, Hit Clips allowed you to listen to 30 seconds of all your favorite songs. Cue the nostalgic Backstreet Boys and Destiny's child obsession.

20. Garbage Pail Kids Trading Cards

21. Slinky

22. Any Spy Tech Toy Ever

Walkie-talkies, motion detectors and recording devices are just a few of the Spy Tech toys that made every child's Spy Kids dreams come true.

23. Nerf Guns

24. Roll On Lip Gloss

25. Slap Bracelets

26. Tech Deck

Mastering the technique of a Tech Deck took practice, but if you could learn a few tricks you could impress anyone at lunch time or recess.

27. Glow In The Dark Speed Stacks

28. Bey Blades

29. Scannerz

Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
