Things To Know Before Living With Someone Stuck In The '90s
90's Child

The '90s treated us well. Perhaps a little too well? Who wants to let go of the fact that the 90s are as far away as 2030 is near! IT'S ABSURD. Who wants to forget about the beloved orange VCR tapes or our favorite dunkable snack, Dunkaroos? Eh, screw living in the now, I want be back in the era where feeding my tamagotchi was my only problem. I know I am not the only one.

Here are five things to know before living with someone who's stuck in the '90s:

1. Food As Outdated As The Style.

If you're rummaging through the cabinet and you see food that you thought didn’t exist anymore, then it most likely belongs to the 90’s lover you're rooming with. These things may include Gushers, different colored Heinz ketchup, Lunchables and Campbell’s Spaghetti O’s (my past personal favorite). So if you see it, DON’T TOUCH IT. Save yourself dawg.


2. Good Old American Sitcoms.

You'll inevitably hear the well-known “Everywhere you Look” or “I’ll Be Waiting For You” intros blaring in the living room. Just, don’t saying anything about our habit of binge watching, I mean you have Pretty Little Liars, and we don't judge you—reciprocate.

Because if you don't, you will get a stink eye like you wouldn't believe. So, just give a “Wow, Uncle Jesse is looking good in that leather jacket” and that will do wonders. Because c’mon it's Uncle Jesse?

3. Style Fresher than the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Whenever your roommate asks whether or not their outfit looks good, lie. The over-sized blue jeans with the over-sized black-and-white plaid flannel works. But that side pony with the purple scrunchie has got to go. Also, are those the Doc Martens I saw Beacons Closet was selling yesterday. Nope no point of saying anything, they are too invested.

4. Slang Dawg.

Okay, so you probably know some slang from when you were younger, but some of these terms are a little different than you remember. Some things to expect when living with a '90s connoisseur is receiving “cheddar” for rent this week. Or perhaps an “eat my shorts” when asked to do manual labor. Oh don’t worry that means to go… hmm, maybe you should check that one out.

5. Beware Of The Music Choices.

If you dare ask who's Lisa Left Eye Lopez you might get a few choice words. When your roommate is hard-core jamming to something that has to do with “people not wanting a scrub” or “creeping” don’t think anything of it. This is a natural part of being an admirer of the '90s. Along with adoring something called a “back street boy.”

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
