This Is For All You 90s Kids

"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 lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
