5 Snacks All 90's Kids Had

If you were born between 1990-1999, you have definitely had your fair share of awkward fashion stages, weird music taste, and "of course" iconic necessary snacks. Certain snacks in your old-school, tin cartoon lunchbox would automatically make you '"cool" and have everyone begging for a piece or two. It's most likely that these snacks don't even exist anymore, but us 90's kids had the lucky opportunity of living in a time when they were accessible.

1. Trix Yogurt

"Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids" We all loved that cute white bunny who always tried to steal the kids' yogurt in each commercial.. ah memories.

2. Fruit Roll-Up

If you were really lucky and your mom or dad would treat you to this snack in your lunchbox at least twice a week, which ultimately meant you were the coolest kid at lunch that day.

3. Bubble Tape

Even though almost no school allowed kids to chew gum you always had to have it with you for when school was out. If you had this very specific gum there was no way you were going to get away without sharing. Almost everyone would bombard you asking for a strip because it was the best gum there was!

4. Dunkaroos

The holiest of snacks. The Holy Grail if you will, the most delicious, coolest, hippest, most fun snack there ever was. To get this snack in your lunchbox was a privilege and honor.

5. Kool-Aid Bursts

Convincing your parents to buy this special treat was nearly impossible and 9 out of 10 times they were going to say no. There was just no way of justifying that it was actually made out of real fruit. But if you were a lucky one, every once in a while your parents would surprise you with the most popular drink there was!

We all want to go back to the time when eating unhealthy snacks didn't matter and didn't make you panic about having to go to the gym, and you didn't worry so much about your health because that was your parents job! Reminiscing on the old days on how innocent you were and how much easier life seemed. Thankfully, now we can get whatever snacks we want without having to ask our parents permission-- yay for adulthood!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
