You Know You Grew Up In The 90's When...
The Kernel

The 90's, the decade that kids had the best childhood toys, games, artists, and shows. Webkinz, Neopets, Hacky-sacks. Though it seems it was just last year, students in high school now were born in the 2000's. These were the years that shaped us and gave us fond memories of our childhood. Lets take a walk down memory lane and reminisce. Here are some things you'll remember if you were a 90's baby.

  1. The only segregation you knew about was if you were a fan of N-sync or the Backstreet Boys.
  2. Wonder balls, need I say more?
  3. You played with a tied piece of yarn and tried to make the Eiffel tower with it
  4. MASH told you that you’d live in a New York City mansion with Jesse McCartney and your 10 kids and pet raccoon, driving a go cart, working as a janitor
  5. You were thankful your mother was a better mom to you than you were to your Tomogatchi, since it died every time you forgot to feed it.
  6. Dankaroo’s were your favorite afterschool snack.
  7. And that strange accordion/ porcupine like thing your mom put around your ponytail or bun.
  8. You felt like a star every time you logged on to your AOL.
  9. You owned every single color of milky pens
  10. Hit clips will always be better than ipods, and you can still sing all the S Club 7 songs.
  11. The only Pokémon’s in your house were on your trading cards.
  12. You’d go to the movie store with your mom and your friend that was staying that weekend to rent a movie. (And you opened the box to make sure the right VHS was inside)
  13. The best games you played all started with S: Spyro, Sonic and Sims.
  14. When Tony Hawk Underground wasn’t working on the Nintendo 64, you’d take the game out and blow out the dust.
  15. Book fairs were one of the few reasons you got excited to go to school.
  16. Your cousins locked you in the dark bathroom and made you say Bloody Mary three times in the mirror.
  17. Rocket Power, Zoomboomafoo, All Grown Up, CatDog, Full House, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and Hey Arnold were your all time favorites.
  18. You never made it to Oregon because you kept dying of Typhoid fever.
  19. You looked at Highlights magazine in the waiting room at the doctor’s office.
  20. Going through an entire role of bubble tape in a day was a regular occurrence.
  21. When you got the Rugrats Gone Wild movie and had the scratch and sniff stickers to go along with it.
  22. The most angering moment when you wanted to see what movies were on that you could watch so you put on the TV guide, but got distracted and missed your channels that you were checking.
  23. You regularly smoked your candy cigarettes.
  24. That hot pink rabbit’s foot key chain was the luckiest thing you ever owned.
  25. You did mad libs to pass the time on long car rides.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
