I can almost guarantee all of us who were born in the 1990's live in our nostalgia. Whenever we see an old favorite come back into the spotlight, we rejoice in their presence. Whenever a television show we loved has a new revival, our life revolves around catching up with beloved characters. Just like past generations, we are at the age when children do not know about the things we used to love, which makes us repeat the cliche, "When I was your age..." Here is a list of all the things that are new again for a new generation to love, as well as for old generations to reminisce.

1. Pokemon Go

Many can agree that Pokemon took over our lives with the television show, the trading cards, and video games. Now with Pokemon Go, the obsession continues as many search for Pokemon around our surroundings, thanks to the power of technology.


2. Fuller House (2016-)/ Full House (1987-1995)

Ever since I was a child, Full House has been my favorite show. Even though I did not like the sappy music whenever the characters had "heart to hearts", I always thought the show was entertaining. I also have wished for more episodes as a child, and it took up until I was in college for that dream to come true.


3. Disney Remakes (Beauty and the Beast, Pet's Dragon, The Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland ect.)

For the most part, many of us grew up watching classic Disney movies on our now vintage VHS tapes. Now, Disney has ran out of new ideas, or at least different stories to adapt from, for new movies. Disney has been taking movies we loved and reinventing them for new generations.



4. NBC/ CBS Live Musicals (The Sound of Music, Peter Pan, The Wiz, Grease, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Hairspray)

I grew up being obsessed with musicals from The Sound of Music, Oklahoma!, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Singing in the Rain, Grease, and many more. Now with the new trend of having live performances on TV, which was first done in 1957 for Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella, are gaining many viewers for the special events.

5. Cats! on Broadway

Personally, I never liked the musical Cats! The idea of people dressing like overly-sexed animals never was my "go-to" for a musical. Yet, after years of being off Broadway, the show is back on Broadway for lovers of the original production.

6. Boy Meets World (1993-2000)/ Girl Meets World (2013-)

Growing up with Boy Meets World, I was excited that a new show was being brought back. I was excited Corey and Topanga Matthews, Shawn Hunter, Mr. Feeney, and Eric Matthews, as well as a new generation of children who are now the main focus. Sadly, the new show does not hold up in my eyes since it turned into an overly dramatic teen soap opera on the Disney Channel that is not as relatable or funny as its predecessor. The show has been doing well in ratings on the Disney Channel, so the new show has succeeded.



7. Star Wars:The Force Awakens (2015) / Star Wars Original Trilogy (1977, 1980, 1983)

Even though Star Wars has stayed relevant, thank you to the "fantastic" prequels, The Force Awakens brought back what made the original trilogy memorable. The new movie brought in a new audience, as well as brought back all our nostalgia from growing up with the original movies.

8. Pop Stars including, JoJo, Hilary Duff, Britney Spears, ect.

Growing up with the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, I have discovered many pop stars. Now with singers like Hilary Duff and JoJo being in the spotlight again, many in my age group are excited for her new music after all of these years.

9.Jimmy Fallon reunions

Just like most of the population, host of the tonight show Jimmy Fallon has pleased those who are still stuck in the 1990's. With skits reminiscing Full House, Saved by the Bell, and Kenan &Kel (Good Burger), many were excited that their is still love for our favorite old shows.

And lastly....

10. Gilmore Girls:The Year in the Life (2016)/ Gilmore Girls (2000-2007)

Originally a favorite from many members of my family, I did not officially start watching Gilmore Girls until my sophomore year of college. I ended up loving the show due to all the pop culture references and witty humor that related to my life. Now with the revival being released on Netflix Thanksgiving weekend, I can not wait to see how the characters evolved since the shows ending 9 years ago.

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.

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.
