We Heart The '90s

Ah the '90s — what a great time to be alive. Well for most of us, we were pretty new to this world during the '90s. Looking back on pictures and listening to stories we hear, it was pretty great. Who could not love a time when scrunchies were all the craze? Here are five things from the 90’s that will always live in our hearts.

1. VHS Tapes

VHS tapes were the best thing back in the day. It seemed like everything under the sun was on the VHS tape. Being sick meant you got to watch endless movies and your only worry was having to get out of bed to change the tapes. It is crazy to think that the last VCR was made last week.

2. Tamagotchi

Tamagotchis were the best and worst pets to have as a kid. You got the chance to learn how to take care of something without really killing it. But keeping those things a live was probably one of the hardest thing ever. It was the worse when they died, but then you could always start again and the sadness was traded in for happiness and determination to keep this one alive.

3. Kid Pix

Kid Pix was the best part of going to computer class. You got to be an artist while being a tech savvy elementary student. It was always the best to get down with your assignment and have enough time to get on kid pix. The candy and money stamp was always the best to fill up your page with.

4. Smelly Markers

No other marker compared to these markers. The flavors were spot on and it made any poster that much better. Everyone always wanted to use these at the coloring station. Hopefully these markers are still around because if not that is true tragedy.

5. AIM

AIM was the hottest thing during the '90s. Everyone remembers their AIM name from back in the day. AIM was the way to communicate with anyone before you got your first phone. You could chat with your bestie while also doing your homework. If someone was annoying, you; you easily just hop offline and that would be the end of that.

The '90s were great, and there was so many great things from the '90s. Thank goodness we all came to our senses and started bring back some of the true goods back to the 21st century.

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!

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.
