The Nostalgia Generation

A few years back, an internet trend started circulating about being a millennial, or a “90’s kid”. People would post photos of VCR’s, floppy disks, and screen-caps from favorite cartoons with captions like “only real 90’s kids will remember this”.

5. Tamagotchis

The most 90's toy ever invented, Tamagotchi was a HUGE deal. Keeping one alive was a struggle, but for some reason it was always so much fun. And if you didn't have a Tamagotchi, you looked forward to the days when your friends would ask you to "babysit" theirs...

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
