The 90s were pretty awesome. I probably would not say the best decade (I would have rather been a hippie), but still the 90s had a lot going on. Let's take it back a few years. A walk down memory lane...

1. Dial Up Internet.

Why? It took forever. If you only had one phone line, no one could call the phone line either.

2. The Dewey Decimal System.

The only way to figure out where a library book is located in the library.

3. You watched "The Lion King" on a VHS.

Who else had a solid collection of VHS tapes?

4. You used a payphone.

Always had to have some change handy just in case you needed to call someone on your journey.

5. You know what a collect call is.

Or you could collect call and the other person gets charged.

6. AIM.

The online text message.

7. MTV music videos.

Nothing is better than MTV. It is not the same as it used to be, but you had to watch every Brittany Spears video that she had.

8. Nickelodeon Slime.

How could anyone forget?

9. 90s book covers (paper bag).

The hardest yet most simple way to cover a textbook.

10. Bill Nye

Had to watch this every morning before school.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.

NBC Universal

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec
IndieWire

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.
