Snacks Of The '90s

With summer already here and everyone trying to keep their summer bod, or working towards it, the last thing you want to think about is snacks. Or snacks may be all you think about.

Snacks Of The '90s

Thinking back to my Powerpuff Girls lunch box days, I couldn't help but remember some snacks that may have been forgotten, but will always hold a special place in our hearts.


Gushers

These are still around and I still find myself loving the juice inside.


Dunkaroos


Graham crackers with rainbow chip frosting. Definitely a must have if you were bringing your lunch to school.


Teddy Grahams

They were filled with what seemed like love, almost like a teddy bear hugging you.


Sprinklins Yogurt

Were you eating yogurt or a test dessert? It honestly felt fun to eat yogurt with sprinkles and magic powder on it.


Warheads

This was about as close to the Olympics that we got to in school, because your strength was tested by how many and how long you could leave these in your mouth without looking like you drank straight lemon juice.


Doritos 3D

Bugles and Doritos had a baby, and this was their offspring.


Ouch Bubble Gum

I can remember my older sister getting these every time we went to the grocery store, and once I tried them, I knew why. I'm not sure if anyone ever ate the grape flavor, but I know the watermelon was always the first one to go.


Flinstone's Push Up Pops

These things had to go into the basket if my mom made the mistake of taking me down the ice cream aisle in the grocery store.


Reese's Swoops

A slice of chocolate made made in the shape of a potato chip. These were definitely the bomb dot com.


Heinz EZ Squirt


Honestly this stuff really tasted just like ketchup, but looked a little bit more gross. If it came out now, I would probably be disgusted that they would make such a thing, but when I was seven years old, there was nothing better than putting Shrek-colored ketchup on my hamburger.

Thinking about how grossly cool some of these snacks were made my stomach hurt. A lot of the snacks and foods were absolute garbage, but it was delicious garbage. When paired with the Nickelodeon and Disney channels of the time, the snacks can make one feel a sense of nostalgia for the '90s.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
