15 Songs You May Remember If You’re a 90s Kid

The 90s was a decade full of nostalgia, particularly for those who grew up in the era. I was one of kids, and I have many fond memories of what came about from the decade, particularly the music. When I hear songs from the 90s playing, it brings me back to the past and hypnotizes with a sweet feeling of nostalgia. There are 15 particular songs that really rewind me back to my childhood. Let’s take look back at them, and be clear, these are not in a particular order.

1. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day (1997)

I was also a fan of Green Day. This song may be the first song I can remember hearing by them along with “When I Come Around”. It’s a very moving song that reminds me of the good ole days.

2. 3 AM - Matchbox Twenty (1997)

Probably my favorite song by Matchboz Twenty, it’s a song recalling his childhood living his mother who was battling cancer. It’s an emotional song that I, nonetheless, have fond memories of listening on the radio.

3. Fantasy - Mariah Carey (1995)

Moving away from alternative rock, why not take a look back at my introduction to Mariah Carey, a singer who I still adore to this day?

4. Everyday Is a Winding Road - Sheryl Crow (1996)

If you remember this song, chances are you may have heard it one of those car commercials numerous times. There are plenty of others by Sheryl Crow I could chose, but this is one I remember the most.

5. No Rain - Blind Melon (1993)

I can’t remember if this band was super popular or not, but you gotta admit, this was a pretty fun and elegant song.

5. One Week - Barenaked Ladies (1998)

Seriously, this song was literally everywhere, and I mean everywhere. I played at restaurants, at stores, at my family gatherings. This just tells you how popular it was back in the day.

7. Larger Than Life - Backstreet Boys (1999)

The Backstreet Boys were like the One Direction of the 90s. They were among the most popular boy bands for the teen crowd.

Semi-Charmed Life - Third Eye Blind (1997)

Oh Third Eye Blind, what an amazing band they were back in the 90s and early 2000s, and this song was quite the charm.

9. Torn - Natalie Imbruglia (1997)

Every time my family gathered at my aunt’s house, this song played on the radio. My family, after all, were big fans of the pop genre.

10. I Knew I Loves You - Savage Garden (1999)

I usually heard this song on the radio when my mom was driving me to school.

11.  Baby One More Time - Britney Spears (1999)

Admit it, you had classmates in elementary school that sang their hearts out, whether it was at lunch, at recess, on the bus, etc.

12. Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit if You...) - Lou Bega (1999)

Another song that played nearly everywhere you went. But hey, it’s hard to deny it was pretty catchy.

13. Just A Girl - No Doubt (1995)

Not too many rides in the car with my mom or my cousins where this song was blasting, and I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it.

14. Genie in The Bottle - Christina Aguilera (1999)

Another song that popular among my classmates at school. I can also recall having karaoke nights with my family and one of my cousins singing this.

15. I Don’t Want To Wait - Paula Cole (1996)

Players on commercials quite often but not as many as times as I heard playing at a restaurant.


Well, did any of these songs warm you up with some childhood nostalgia? There are dozens of songs I could have chose from, but these ones I found to the most memorable from my days as a young lad.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
