10 Things You Experience When You Feel Like You Were Born In The Wrong Decade
TimeOut


After listening to a radio station that plays primarily 70's to early 2000's music literally all summer long (and when I'm home in general), I've decided to make a list of all the feelings I have on being obsessed with the 80's and 90's, and how much I love the music, culture, and styles of those past decades I didn't partake in.

1. Listening to a station with songs from a certain decade, and jamming out more than you do to modern day music.


2. Watching T.V. shows and movies from a decade and being up with the slang.

3. “Why can’t theme songs be as good as they used to be?”

4. Watching modern T.V. shows about a past decade and wanting to automatically join the characters (i.e. “The Carrie Diaries,” “Hindsight”).

5. Thinking on a daily basis, “Kids these days don’t know how good they have it.”

6. Hearing your parents talk about their lives when you were their age and feeling a sense of jealousy or longing to be in that time.

7. Hearing the opening to a hit, but obscure song from the decade and automatically breaking out into a complete singing and dancing mode

8. Asking your parents for their old clothing so you can wear it to look just like a kid from that time.

9. Or, if they gave it all away, going to a thrift shop or Goodwill just to get some outfits from there to put together.

10. Knowing you have the best of both worlds by being up to date on the times and well informed on the old ones.

Maybe you were born in the wrong decade, but at least you can still apreciate what they had going back then

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
