5 Snacks All 90's Kids Had

If you were born between 1990-1999, you have definitely had your fair share of awkward fashion stages, weird music taste, and "of course" iconic necessary snacks. Certain snacks in your old-school, tin cartoon lunchbox would automatically make you '"cool" and have everyone begging for a piece or two. It's most likely that these snacks don't even exist anymore, but us 90's kids had the lucky opportunity of living in a time when they were accessible.

1. Trix Yogurt

"Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids" We all loved that cute white bunny who always tried to steal the kids' yogurt in each commercial.. ah memories.

2. Fruit Roll-Up

If you were really lucky and your mom or dad would treat you to this snack in your lunchbox at least twice a week, which ultimately meant you were the coolest kid at lunch that day.

3. Bubble Tape

Even though almost no school allowed kids to chew gum you always had to have it with you for when school was out. If you had this very specific gum there was no way you were going to get away without sharing. Almost everyone would bombard you asking for a strip because it was the best gum there was!

4. Dunkaroos

The holiest of snacks. The Holy Grail if you will, the most delicious, coolest, hippest, most fun snack there ever was. To get this snack in your lunchbox was a privilege and honor.

5. Kool-Aid Bursts

Convincing your parents to buy this special treat was nearly impossible and 9 out of 10 times they were going to say no. There was just no way of justifying that it was actually made out of real fruit. But if you were a lucky one, every once in a while your parents would surprise you with the most popular drink there was!

We all want to go back to the time when eating unhealthy snacks didn't matter and didn't make you panic about having to go to the gym, and you didn't worry so much about your health because that was your parents job! Reminiscing on the old days on how innocent you were and how much easier life seemed. Thankfully, now we can get whatever snacks we want without having to ask our parents permission-- yay for adulthood!

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
