10 Fads 90s Kids Wish Came Back

If you were born in the 90s you grew up with some pretty amazing fads. These fads were introduced to us through television. We all have that one thing growing up that we held near and dear to our hearts, but like all good things they eventually fade. I took some people born in the 90s and asked them what were some things that they missed from their childhood. Here are some of their answers.

1. Mullets: Eli, 1997

The mullet was the stuff of legends. It even had its own catchphrase, “Business in the front, party in the back." Made famous by one Billy Ray Cyrus and Uncle Jesse, we still see many others try to continue this fashion, but can’t bring back to save its life.

2. Tech Decks: Kate, 1996

If you were bored, you knew you needed something to pass the time. If you have the finger skateboard you were the coolest kid in class. You learned tricks to do with your fingers that only Tony Hawk could dream of doing. But even though you try to master skills, it was still taken away by the teacher when it would hit the ground one too many times.

3. Magna Doodle: Lily, 1998

Your beginning stages of being an artist were started on the Magna Doodle. This gave you a sense of creativity without making a mess with markers and paint. This coolest thing you could do with this is to hover the board, and be able to still draw, and once your creation was finished you could erase it.

4. Easy Bake Oven: Kyla, 1998

The culinary arts are begun at an early age. Seeing the commercial I remember thinking of all the endless possibilities you could make with this oven. Now looking back, I can see that none of the stuff came out how I wanted it to be, leaving me a stressful mess.

5. Waterbeds: Grace, 1995

At one point or another, you have interacted with a waterbed. Being on this bed made you feel like you were on a boat and you were sailing the seas. Hopefully, you weren’t sick because you would end up feeling very sick.

6. Scrunchies: Rachel, 1994

Somewhere in your closet, there is a collection of these. Endless years of having your hair pulled into one of these. Once and a while you will go into the depths of your closet and pull a few out and relieve the glory days.

7. Tamagotchi: Victoria, 1992

This device came in handy when your parents told you that you couldn’t have a pet. This helped you prove your point that you were able to take care of an animal. Having someone that depended on you was a great responsibility in the eyes of a five-year-old. However, we all knew that our animals died because we forgot to feed them, and we were left with no pets.

8. Gameboy Color: Steven, 1990

Having your own device instead of sharing it was amazing. You could get different games that made you fall in love with gaming. I remember playing Tetris on it and different arcade games. This gave you a sense of dependence and learned how to fix any problem by just blowing on the cartridge.

9. Furby: Joanne, 1991

I don’t know who would want this creepy toy staring at you. The Furby was your very own watcher in the night. The worst part of having this toy was when it would go off at night without any warning.

10. BopIt!: Bri, 1997

This was one of the greatest and most frustrating games. I remember walking through the store and seeing it propped up on one of the aisles. The temptation was too much for me so I grabbed it and would listen to the voice telling me what to do. Before you know it, two hours have gone by and your mom has to use the intercom to get to you.

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.
