10 Things That Prove You Were Born in the 90's

A trip down memory lane.

10 Things That Prove You Were Born in the 90's

It’s crazy to think that we are the last generation of kids born in the 1900’s. Not to brag or anything, but we did have a very cool childhood and the best TV shows ever, am I wrong? So, here are 10 things I am sure you will remember if you are a nineties’ kid.

1. Instant or Windows Messenger


This was honestly the best thing about coming home from school.


2. Discmans


Honestly, kids these days will never understand the struggle of wanting to listen to music everywhere, but having to carry around a huge device you couldn't fit into your pockets. And remember being disappointed when the CD’s leaflet didn’t have the lyrics to the songs? Like how else am I supposed to learn that line on track 4?


3. Fortune teller

We literally let these little things decide our future.


4. Gel pens


And we had the box with the 100 gel pens because you just couldn’t have enough of them.


5. Game boy

Game boy color, oh boy, does that makes me feel old. However, you can’t deny the Game Boy Advance had the BEST games ever invented. (Sonic Advance, Crash, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, Pokémon…)


6. Minesweeper, Solitaire, Pinball and Paint


They are the ONLY reason why you used your computer at home. (Before having internet, of course.)


7. Legends of the Hidden Temple

This was one of the best TV shows ever. They only had like 20 different episodes, but we loved to watch them over and over again.


8. VHS

Forget about DVD’s and don’t even think about Blue Ray’s, this was the only way to watch a movie. The worst part was when you had to rewind the whole thing in order to watch your movie. And no, we didn’t have Netflix, we had to get out of bed and go to Blockbuster to rent movies.


9. Tamagotchi and “Distroller neonates” (my home town will understand this one)


I think everyone at one point had a Tamagotchi. And in my home town, we had these little stuffed babies that literally had to be treated like real babies called neonates. You really had to take care of him/her or he/she "died".


10. Razor Scooters

We were still the generation that liked to go outside to play, and these razor scooters were one of the most fun inventions ever made. (Except maybe when the pointy sides hit your ankles.)


So if you were born in the nineties, I am sure you took a fun trip down memory lane.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
