15 Biggest First World Struggles Of A 90s Baby

15. Your computer taking over an hour for Barbie.com to load

This is what the internet was truly created for!

14. McDonald’s giving you a toy that you already have

I always tried to collect all the toys

13. Someone forgot to rewind the VHS or cassette tape

It is actually pretty sad that today’s children won’t be able to know what it feels like to own one of these magical orange tapes

12. Blockbuster did not have the movie you came there for

Before we had Netflix, we had Blockbuster!

11. Cartoon Network canceled your favorite show

And then tried to make an awful reboot ten years later…

Like seriously though, do not try to ruin Powerpuff Girls or Teen Titans for us

10. When Steve left Blue’s Clues

That was such a sad day for all of us 90s babies

9. And when they replaced Marnie in the final Halloweentown movie

And Disney Channel did not think we would notice…

8. When Jamie-Lynn Spears got pregnant which ended Zoey 101

I was the only one in my friend group who was still allowed to watch that show after she got pregnant

7. Getting injured by your Razor Scooter

I still have scars from this thing

6. Taco Bell messed up your order

This is and will always be a struggle for me, even today as an adult

5. Chick-fil-A being closed on Sundays

Why is it that I always craved that place the most on Sundays…

4. Your Webkinz code didn’t work

Webkinz, in general, was just full of struggles, but we all loved it anyway!

3. And while on the topic of Webkinz, whenever you went all the way to Hallmark just to find out that they are all sold out of Webkinz

My best friend from elementary school and I were in a competition to see who had the most Webkinz. I lost.

2. Burning yourself with your Easy Bake oven

I think we all wanted this for Christmas as a kid

1.Stepping on a Lego

WORST PAIN EVER!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.

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.
