Cartoon Throwbacks For 90's Kids: Part 1
Wallpaper Cave

During a recent late-night roommate conversation, I reminisced on all the cartoons I watched as a kid. Okay fine, I also watched some YouTube vidoes with terrible sound and graphics. Anyway, we decided that some shows are too good to have not watched. If you haven't watched any of these, you should. Right after sharing this article to make sure everyone else has to. Friendly comment: they're in no particular order.

1. Dragon Tales (1999-2005)

I can still--shamelessly--belt out the intro song. Those kids were my best friends when I sat down in front of the TV, and I always knew the dragons would be there during a time of need. Also, who wouldn't want to go to Dragonland?

2. Scooby Doo (1969-forever probably)

Taking names, solving mysteries, and eating all the time. Sounds like my idea of a good time. The original gang--and the greatest, if I might add (especially Casey Kasem).

3. Little Bear (1995-2003)

Yeah, in the 90s, everyone could be friends--even the bear and the chicken!! Why can't we all get along like them?

4. The Flintstones (1960-1966)

Okay, so maybe this one came along before our time. That does not make it any less worthy to exist on this list! I always had a yabba dabba doo time while watching. If you didn't, you're lying.

5. Snorks (1984-1989)

Another throwback for the older crow, but I might appreciate it a little more. Friends, love, enemies, danger, fun--all underwater. As a kid who feared water, this was a thriller for me (laugh all you want).

6. The Smurfs (1981-1989)

Yes, children, a cartoon existed before the movies and it was wayyyy better. Think you know the whole story? Watch the TV series, and you'll learn so much more.

7. Franklin (1997-2004)

I named my first horse after this turtle--enough said.

I'll leave it at that for now. Check back next week for more suggestions (after you've watched these); if you comment or message me, maybe you will even see yours!

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.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
