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."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
