15 Phrases Only 90s Kids Will Understand

Let's face it, we had the best childhood.

We didn't have iPhones while we were in middle school, we had razors instead. We had to ride our bikes to our neighbors to see who wanted to come outside and play, we didn't have iMessage. In fact, our "iMessage" was AIM, and if it was raining, instead of walking to your friends house you would sign on to AOL, see who was on and who had an "away" message. Here's to all the kids who grew up like me and will only understand these 15 phrases in the same way I will.

1. “What’s your screenname?”

If you didn’t have at least three “x’s” in your name you were doing it wrong. Spell the words the right way? Never.

2. “Go to the bathroom and say Bloody Mary three times to see what happens.”

We all did it and when nothing happened we still screamed and walked out of the bathroom like something did happen.

3. “Anyone wanna play M.A.S.H.?”

Let’s be honest, you played until you got the results you wanted. If you never did, you cheated.

4. “Zetus lapetus!”

Zeon gave us our favorite catch phrases, new make up trends, and made us all want to go to school on the moon.

5. “Concentration 64. No repeats. Or hesitations. I will start. By naming names.”

This was the game you had to play on the blacktop during recess, but it was even better when you got to play during indoor recess.

6. *Calls landline phone* “Hi this is ____ is _____ home? Can he/she come over and play?”

You never had to worry about going over your data limit or not having unlimited minutes on your phone, because having a cell phone was cool, but calling your best friend on the house phone was so much easier.

7. “I forgot to feed my tomogatchi!”

Poor thing, it went 8 whole hours without eating so he died. No worries though, grab a pencil and stick it in the back of your little gadget and wait for your new egg to hatch.

8. “Have mercy!”

Uncle Jesse was the cutest uncle that lived in the Tanner household and everyone had a crush on him, am I right?

9. We all wanted to have what Corey & Tapanga have.

What is this "Girl Meets World" show? This generation should be blessed with "Boy Meets World" re-runs. No one gave advice like Mr. Feeney did.

10. “Go home Rodger!”

Double trouble, sister sister, they both had the same boy interested in them. Of course, neither of them wanted anything to do with him.

11. “In West Philedelphia born and raised…”

I think i speak for us all, this was the only rap our parents let us know every word to...

12. “Are you still in her top 10 friends? I went from number 3 to number 8!”

You knew when your friends were mad at you, who was best friends with who that week, and who the knew couple was, all thanks to your top 10 MySpace friends.

13. “Oh, snap!”

Of course this line was always followed by a vision seen by the one and only Raven.

14. “Loser, loser, double loser, as if, whatever, get the picture… duh.”

Don’t forget to put the “L” on your forehead, either.

15. “If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.”

This song always spiced up the party and had everyone singing along and all the girls dancing.

learning different languages
a2zli

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.

Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
