I Was Born In The 90s, But I'm A 2000s Kid

No one really understands pure bliss until you've seen a mash-up episode on Disney Channel.

I'm talking about the '97, '98, '99 kids that do not really know what living in the 90s truly feels like. I mean, I am sure we all like to claim that we are 90s babies, because technically we are, however, we didn't live that life.

I have come to the conclusion that the early 2000s were truly amazing. No one really understands pure bliss until you've seen a mash-up episode on Disney Channel. Let's not pretend when Disney Channel put That So Raven, Hannah Montana, and The Suite Life all on one episode that it didn't change our lives.

In the early 2000s, there was no such thing as a bad spin-off show on Disney. I mean, come on, I can't trust anyone who didn't love Cory in the House! I used to wrap myself in a blanket and make my sister unroll me like the episode where Meena shows her American Clothes under her Bahavian dress. Truly iconic.

Also, let's not all forget when we all first experienced betrayal –– when Jamie Lynn Spears decided to ruin Zoey 101 by getting pregnant. Our 10-year-old hearts never really got the full closure we all longed for.

Don't even get me started on the fashion! Gaucho pants, jeans under skirts, and rubber band chokers! Can we all just come together as the not-so-90s babies and bring back the super-soft Juicy tracksuits? I'm begging.

It sounds weird to say but, I miss the Myspace days! We can all understand the blood, sweat, and tears it took to choose who was going to be on the top list of friends! Choosing the perfect layout for your profile is equivalent to choosing the perfect outfit for a date, nowadays.

Can we just go back to the days were the only thing we had to worry about was if Miley was going to pick Jake or Jesse? Life in the 2000s was a blast, I don't feel bad about missing out on the true 90s culture because I enjoyed every minute of my childhood.

I have a sister that's only 18 months older than me, so we grew up watching the same stuff, playing with the same toys, and listening to all the music the 2000s had to offer us. We never watched Saved by the Bell, Boy Meets World, or any true 90s classics that everyone raves about. But I am ok with that because I had Libby Lu, High School Musical dance along specials, Wonder Ball, and so much more!

For all the not-so-90s kids, I just want to say, we had it good! We are all at the end of our teens now and in our 20s, and it's hard not to cringe when I see the 10-year anniversary of all of our favorite shows and movies.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
