In The 1990's Born And Raised

On the playground is where I spent most of my days.

In The 1990's Born And Raised

You know you were born in the '90s if you share these memories from your childhood:

1) TV Shows

Cartoons, actual acting, PBS, Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and more. Today’s shows have nothing on what we grew up watching. Now that was some good TV.

2) Music

Your school's talent or variety show always had, at least, one Britney song, and choosing whether Backstreet Boys or NSYNC were better was extremely overwhelming. Green Day, Destinys Child, Whitney Houston and more.

3) Fashion

Scrunchies were either in a girl's hair or on her wrist. You couldn't wait for spring to wear one of your colored jelly sandals, and jean overalls on kids were equatable to jean jackets on teens. If you wore butterfly clips in your hair, there were at least 3.

4) Toys

Keeping a Tamagotchi alive was so stressful and your Furby going off in the middle of the night was always so scary. When HitClips came out, you were ready to toss your old CD player away, until you remembered the clips only played about one minute of the song.

5) School

When the school store was open, it was one of the most exciting days. Squishy grippers, layered pencils, erasers, and more. Gym class was everyone's favorite, especially when the parachute was brought out. Don't forget you weren't cool unless your crayon box was a 96 count with a sharpener in the back.

6) Technology

Ah, back then you thought it was awesome having your own house phone in your bedroom. Cell phones resembled little bricks and the pictures you took on cameras were developed at your local grocery store. Having to wait for your VHS to rewind was annoying and when your CD player couldn't play a song because the disc was scratched was extremely frustrating. Dial up internet was popular and setting your AIM away message as "out, txt me" was your way of feeling popular.

7) Food and Drinks

Let's start with who thought that green and purple ketchup would be appealing? Wonder Balls were exciting and any sort of ice cream or candy that had to be pushed out of its wrapper was so much fun. Fun drinks and candies were always the best part of being a kid.

Forever funny memories, forever cherishable ones. Here's to you 90's kids!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. 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.
