11 Pieces of 90s Nostalgia
Millennial Underground

Greetings. If you're like me, the 1990s were a quintessential part of your childhood. Even though some of the trends were -- let's be honest -- shudder-worthy, it was still a good era, chock full of sweet, sweet childhood memories.

Wanna take a trip down memory lane? Here are 11 items guaranteed to bring back that good old 90s nostalgia in you.


1. The VHS Tape

Remember these bad boys?


2. Nickelodeon Cartoons

Ah, who could forget those classics? Hey, Arnold!; Rugrats; Catdog; etc... The list goes on and on.


3. Willy Wonka Candy

If that wasn't the bomb.com, I don't know what was...


4. Vintage Disney Channel

My personal favorite, *sniff* who else misses these shows? I (for one) DO!! OK, so this is not all-inclusive and some of these are a little after the 90s, but let's be honest -- did the 90s really end before 2005? I didn't think so.


5. Boy Bands

Let's be honest: we all secretly loved them, even if we didn't want to admit it. Also, I bet you're singing along to this one right now in your head. You're welcome.


6. Snap Bracelets

This was mainly a girl trend, but I bet every one of us remembers seeing these. The fun bonus was snapping it over your wrist just to watch it curl up, providing hours of fun entertainment.


7. Cassette Tapes

Here's another one of our handy-dandy technological wonders from the 90s. CDs? Psssh. What were you, rich? And let's not forget the fun of a tape that lost all its insides and messed up. Good times.


8. Beanie Babies

Any collectors here? Don't be embarrassed -- we all bought into the fad. Nowadays, some of those plushies might be worth a pretty penny, too,


9. The Skip-It

All the cool kids had them. If fortune smiled upon you, maybe you got to borrow someone else's at recess.


10. Platform Flip-Flops

Alright, so nowadays we realize what a monstrosity these were, but back then they were the shoes every girl wanted to have. Why? Because they were "cool."



11. Fanny Packs

Come on, we can't forget this gem. In terms of practicality, fanny packs were not a bad idea. Still, look at them... don't they bring back some memories?


Ah, the 90s, you were good to us -- metaphorically speaking. Even though there were a lot of, shall we say, questionable trends in this decade, we can't deny the fond nostalgia it brings us, and for that, we will be eternally grateful -- and hopefully a little wiser for it.

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.
