The 90's were filled with fun knickknacks and a few of the best fads of all-time. Although, it's difficult to narrow down the top games of the decade, I have chosen my personal favorite toys from the 90's, in no particular order.

1. Tamagotchi

These virtual creatures provided 90's children with hours worth of entertainment. Maintaining the life of one's Tamagotchi gave children their first sense of responsibility by making sure it got fed and didn't die while they were at grade school.


2. Moon Shoes

These mini trampolines for one's feet were always a great time. But trying to run in them was even more fun.


3. Skip-It

The game you could play all by yourself and never get bored. The Skip-It was also a great way to release excess energy, which all children dealt with.


4. Razor Scooter

The most epic way to get around one's neighborhood was by means of scooter. Wheeling around on this two-wheeled mobile made all 90's children feel super cool. But if it ever hit one's shin, it was like the most agonizing pain ever experienced.


5. Bop It

The greatest party game ever that could also be played by one's self.

6. Polly Pockets

It was always a competition with who had the most Polly Pocket items. If anyone had the jacuzzi or castle, they were instantly the coolest of the group.


7. Pogo Stick

This toy created battles with who could stay on the longest and do the most bounces.

8. American Girl Dolls

Obtaining a doll that was one's mini-me was every girl's dream. Same hair color, eye color, and style were key.

9. Easy-Bake Oven

When parents feared their children might burn the house down via oven or stove, they opted for the Easy-Bake Oven. This was every child's dream to be able to cook sugary pastries whenever he or she pleased. Although, they were sub-par treats, it was always tons of fun to make.

10. Furby

This talking, furry, owl-hamster was all the rage during the 90's.

11. Beanie Babies

Who had the most Beanie Babies became the competition of the decade.

12. Game Boy

Game Boy's were truly the best. They were video games on-the-go that one could play anytime, anywhere.

13. Nerf Gun

Nerf wars with one's siblings, friends, or other relatives were a constant battle children fought during the 90's and even still today.

14. Slinky

The classic, simple toy that one could play with for hours. What would happen if one sent it down the stairs or attached it to a moving object? The possibilities were endless.

15. Koosh Ball

This squishy, stringy ball was always a great time. One could stretch it, squeeze it, throw it, or whatever one pleased.

16. Playstation

Video games provided hours worth of entertainment. Who could resist Crash Bandicoot or Rayman?


18. Anything Klutz

The ultimate crafting kits for girls to paint their nails, braid, or really anything they wished.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
