17 Things You Forgot You Loved During The '90s
Collage by Katelyn Esparza

As my second year of college comes to an end, it is hard to believe how quickly the time has gone by! It seems like just yesterday I was making Kool-Aid with my mom and listening to The Backstreet Boys! Time flies, and here are some nostalgia-inducing images to remind you just how far you've come!

1. When Trix cereal was shaped like tiny fruit.


2. Trying not to lose any of the pieces from you Polly Pocket collection (and failing miserably).


3. Having to remember to rewind your Blockbuster rental to avoid getting fined.



4. Having that one friend who always had the newest, coolest toys.



5. Trying to enjoy Bubble Jug even though it always just fell apart in your mouth.



6. Gel pens that always seemed to be out of ink, even when they were brand new.



7. Developing trust issues because the label said "No Tears" and yet, your eyes were always burning.



8. These. Everywhere.


9. Playing "McDonald's" because you secretly thought it could be cool to work at a fast-food restaurant.




10. Getting in trouble when you tried to iron these without your parents' help.


11. Tang.



12. The risk that came from playing with a Skip It, because if that thing hit your ankle you were done.



13. Being totally jealous of that girl down the street who had a Barbie Jeep!



14. Never having quite as much fun with your Easy-Bake Oven as the kids from the commercial. And why did their stuff always come out so much better than yours?



15. The "advanced technology" behind the Poo-Chi toy.



16. Begging your parents for a Video Now.


17. Extremely colorful food that was never as delicious as you imagined it would be.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
