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.

Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
