"Our Childhood Was Better Than Yours"

This Is For All You 90s Kids
usatoday.com

Everyone claims the generation they grew up in was the best but I can honestly say there's nothing better than growing up in the 90's into the early 2000's. I'd be lying if I said growing up in the 90's is the same as growing up in today's generation. If I wanted to hangout with my friend I would walk over to their house, ring their doorbell, and ask their parents if they were home. Now all anyone ever does is text one another to make plans. "What are you doing later, wanna chill?" Everything has changed. Growing up in the 90's was completely different and I'm so glad I'll always remember by childhood as a "90's kid." I lived my childhood dream and I can proudly say that I was slimed on Nickelodeon's Slime Time Live. What's cooler than that? Every time I went to the grocery store with my mom getting a Wonderball was a necessity, you couldn't see my bedroom floor because it was covered by Polly Pocket Pieces, and I had more Webkinz that you could ever imagine. So what makes growing up in the 90's so special you ask? Here's 29 things that made growing up in the 90's so great:


1. Dunkaroos

Even though your mom probably always refused to buy these, when she did it was always the best snack to have in your lunch at school.


2. Hit Clips


3. Heelys


4. When Disney Channel was actually good

That's So Raven, Lizzy McGuire, Phil of The Future, Kim Possible, Hannah Montana, and so many more.


5. Rainbow Scratch Paper

There was nothing better than when your art teacher pulled these out.


6. Milky Pens


7. Slip n Slides


8. Skip It

This truly gave you your exercise for the day.


9. Ring Pops


10. Yoyo-water balls

These were best until schools started to ban them.



11. Rainbow parachutes & wheelies

Gym class wasn't complete without these fun games.



12. Trix Yogurt

The only yogurt you would ever eat as a child. What's cooler than yogurt with two different colors?


13. Blow up chair & couch

Who needs real furniture when you can have blow up furniture?



14. Big Comfy Couch

The best show ever created, although now that I think about it, it's kinda creepy.



15. Floatie Flip Flops

The best and most comfortable flip flops you will ever own.



16. Lunchables

You were always the coolest kid at the lunch table when you whipped one of these out.


17. Furby

What's that creepy noise? Oh it's just my Furby.



18. Tamagotchi


19. Polly Pockets

Pieces and pieces everywhere.



20. Beanie Babies



21. Wonder Ball

The best candy ever created. Thank god they brought this back to stores.



22. Easy Bake Ovens

When your mom couldn't let you cook with her you ran to your easy bake oven to make a desert for the family.



23. Webkinz

Now this was more in the 2000's but what was better than the Webkinz phase?


24. Nickelodeon

There was nothing better than rolling out of bed on a Saturday morning and watching Nickelodeon, and chances are "All That" was your favorite TV show.

25. Jelly Bear Keychains

26. Hula Hoops

27. AIM

Lets be honest we all had those embarrassing usernames (mine was Lilmonkeyj48) and we edited our "buddy profiles" at least twice a day.

28. Kudos Bars

29. Heads Up, 7-Up


So yeah, I guess you could say us 90's kids were "All That."

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.
