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!

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
