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!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
