35 Childhood Memories From The '90s
glocals.com

A plethora of the memories we hold come from our childhood. Personally, I would not trade my childhood experiences for anything, and I thank the '90s for raising me to have a broad imagination and adventurous soul. I am glad to have spent my young days playing outside climbing trees or running back and forth through the sprinkler. Every era offers a different childhood to the kids of that generation and I am beyond grateful to have been included in the generation of growing up in the '90s. Even without much technology, growing up in the '90s has provided us with the childhood of a lifetime.

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.

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.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
