As a kid of the '90s, it only seems fair to reminisce about the decade that brought about some of the funnest times I got to experience during my childhood. If you're a '90s kid like me, you will appreciate the items on this list and I can guarantee some of these will make you miss the times when life was simpler. This list contains some pretty awesome things that kids from our generation will never have or understand. So sit back and lets experience a blast from the past!

1. Skip It

Admit it, we all had one of these growing up. But lets not forget the horrible pain when this smacked into your ankle.

2. Blockbuster

Be kind and rewind before returning! Kids today will never know the thrill of visiting Blockbuster weekly and renting your favorite VHS tapes.

3. Dunkaroos

4. Tamagotchi

5. L'oreal kids shampoo

The shampoo that every kid thought lied to them because it says, "No Tears!" on the bottle. Not only until recently did I find out that saying meant no tears left in your hair. #mindblowing

6. AOL

Thankfully we don't have to listen to the painful dial up tone anymore. But, I do miss the excitement when the three boxes were full and the internet was finally accessible.

7. Furby

8. Lite Brite

9. Rock-Paper-Scissors, Bubblegum, and Doggy Doggy Diamond

Every important decision ever made was decided by playing one of these games.

10. Lisa Frank School Supplies

11. MASH

The future depended on how many swirls you could have made before someone yelled stop!

12. The Macarena

13. Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon Shows

Kids today will never know the amazing shows we used to wake up early for on Saturday mornings. Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network will never be the same again.

14. Slap Bracelets

15. Pokemon Cards

16. N'SYNC and Backstreet Boys

This was the beginning of our boy band obsession.

17. Butterfly Hair Clips

18. Bop It

19. CD Players

20. Gameboy, Nintendo 64, and PlayStation

21. Cory and Topanga Was Our Favorite Couple

22. Mary-Kate and Ashley Movies

Every girl desperately wanted a twin once they saw these movies.

23. Being Slimed Was One Of Our Dreams

24. Oregon Trail

25. The Amanda Show

26. Nickelodeon Orange VHS Tapes

27. Easy Bake

28. Scented Highlighters

You were the coolest kid in art class if you had these in your pencil case.

29. Candy Cigarettes

Kids felt their coolest when they had one of these chalky sticks hanging out of their mouths

30. Nokia Cellphone Games

31. Bubble Jug Gum

32. Wonder Ball

33. Book Fair Handouts

The most exciting week of the school year was when the book fair happened.

34. Spice Girls

35. Waterfall Ring Toss

The most frustrating game ever played. Many hours of our lives were lost playing this game.

36. Multi-colored pens

Don't lie, we each tried to pull all the colors at once.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

394

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2235

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
