10 Toys Only '90s Kids Remember

We all get a little nostalgic sometimes - we think about how much easier life was when we were children with no responsibilities. Well, let's revisit some of those happy memories by remembering some of our favorite childhood toys.

This one's for you, 90s kids!

1. Bop It


This game was great, especially when passing it around with friends. Your biggest fear was being the one to lose the game for everyone.


2. Furby


These things were everywhere. Even McDonald's got on board and put them in their Happy Meals. But let's be honest, Furbies were just plain creepy.


3. Easy Bake Oven


The commercials for these made the food look amazing - we all had to have an Easy Bake Oven! Sadly, the desserts never really came out the way they looked on TV.


4. Nintendo Game Boy


From the color, to the advance, to the SP, these were simply the best. We were entertained for hours (probably our parents' favorite toy).


5. Skip It


The perfect outdoor toy...until they hit you in the ankles. Worst. pain. ever.


6. Tamagotchi


Keeping a Tamagotchi alive may have been more difficult than keeping an actual human alive.


7. Slinky


These were mesmerizing and kept us busy for hours...until they got tangled up. Then there was no going back.


8. Doodle Bear

Did anyone else sign these at friends' birthday parties?!


9. Etch A Sketch


These were all fun and games...until you messed up once and had to start all over.


10. Moon Shoes


Honestly, the commercials for these made them look much more fun than they really were.

Where did the time go?!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
