The toys we played with, and the things we did, had its time of fame. Here are a few things we 90’s kids had or did that are no longer really “a thing.”

1. We played with this thing called a game-boy 24/7.

Remember when those were really popular?

2. We had portable CD players instead of iPods.

We actually had to buy the CD, and put it in a CD player to walk around and listen to our favorite music.

3. Pokemon were collected with paper cards.

You may have once traded and collected these cards. And no, you didn't have to walk all around your city to find each of them.

4. We had video cassettes that we had to rewind after watching.

And if when we forgot to rewind them, the next time we watched the movie, it would start at the credits.

5. We actually had to physically go to a movie rental to watch more movies.

Nope, we didn't have Netflix.

6. We had to use an actual camera to take all photos.

Cameras weren't always on phones.

7. Cell phones were basically only used for calling people.

There once wasn't all the extra perks and details that came with phones.

8. Mom always found and pulled out the video camera for every event.

Now we can pull out our phones.

9. Tapes. Remember those?

They are slowly being forgotten, I think.

10. We had cool and unique candy.

We had things like push-pops and bubble-tape come out.

11. We spent more time outside.


There weren't too many electronics to keep us occupied. Therefore, we spent more time outdoors, playing and talking to each other.

Today's kids are only told of the struggles and good memories that came with living in a small part of the 20th century.

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.

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.
