These things are back in the spotlight this summer and warming the hearts of 90s and 00s kids alike.

6 Throwbacks Making a Comeback This Summer
Fandango

Crazy things are happening this year, for instance Leonardo DiCaprio finally won an Oscar, and Kevin is the only Jonas Brother not currently producing music. This seems to be the summer of comebacks, and I don't mean the ones that you wish you had thought of while you were arguing with your frenemy. No, I mean the things that will make you stop and think, "what's my age again?" I know that we have all heard the saying that "history repeats itself" and that the things that were popular ages ago come back in a cycle- well how about all at once.

1. Blink-182

While it sounds similar to what they have released in the past, Blink-182 released their new single "Bored to Death" about a month ago after an 11 year hiatus- the band self-produced their first EP in 1993.

2. Finding Nemo

Although a sequel hardly counts as a comeback, it did take thirteen years for the original viewers of Finding Nemo to finally get Finding Dory. I have not yet seen it, though I heard it went swimmingly.

3. Pokémon


I am sure that by now, everyone is well aware that Pokémon is back in the spotlight with its new mobile app, Pokémon Go.

4. Ghostbusters

The original Ghostbusters movie made its debut in 1984, and with this remake, we can see that many things have changed since we left the 80s.

5. My Chemical Romance

I think this is my favorite comeback on the list, it warms my heart to see that My Chemical Romance is on the radar again. Short background story, I wore my only My Chemical Romance t-shirt to my friend's birthday party on THE day that they announced that they were breaking up- we almost cried together when we heard the news. Although they have not announced what is to come on September 23rd, their fandom has arisen, armed and ready with their thick eyeliner.

6. Candy

Even candy brands are going old school, bringing back the original, now "retro," packaging. Mars is celebrating the 75th anniversary of M&Ms, and Nestle's brand Wonka has done a "throwback" look for its boxed candies.

Since there is still a little over a month until school starts again, hopefully there are more comebacks in store for this summer. With all the things that seem to be making a comeback this summer, perhaps the Bernie supporters are in luck.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
