15 Things 90s Kids Want To See On Netflix
Netflix

Netflix is probably one of the greatest inventions of this millennia, right? If you're anything like me, you can't get enough of Netflix, and you ended up watching far more Netflix than you intended to over your too-short spring break. But, sometimes I reflect on the best movies and TV shows of my childhood, and I get pretty upset that they aren't on Netflix.

If Netflix wants the "90 Kids," that is kids born in the mid 90s who now call themselves 90s kids as if they really remember anything before the year 2000, to stay addicted, they need to add these to their line-up.

1. "Summerland"

What is better than Lori Loughlin, Ryan Kwanten and old school Jesse McCartney? Take us back to the beach and our favorite child star's beginnings. Young Sara Paxton and Zac Efron make appearances, and we can all appreciate the drama of Summerland.

2. "Sky High"

I have no idea where this movie came from, but I want it back. They've yet to make a good super hero movie for teenagers since, and what ever happened to Michael Angarano? Didn't he date Kristen Stewart? Have any of these actors been in anything recently, or did they realize that they peeked with this movie?

3. "She's the Man"

This retelling of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" has everything we miss from our childhood: sane Amanda Bynes and unmarried Channing Tatum. Take us back to quintessential 90s kid movie, Amanda Bynes before she lost her mind, and frankly, one of the best Amanda Bynes movies of all time (I didn't like "What A Girl Wants"). Also, how did they get Amanda Bynes to look so much like a boy? To this day, I'm baffled.

4. "Eragon"

The books were a thousand years long, and you couldn't get enough of a book written by a 15 year old! Unfortunately, it also seems like the movie was made by a 15 year old. It was so awful, so awful, but it makes me so nostalgic for the books of my childhood. Plus, the guy who played Eragon was super cute. May his career rest in peace.

5. "Material Girls"

Oh, the Duff sisters. Lizzie McGuire was all grown up, and she and her sister had it made. Until they didn't anymore. What was up with this being the theme of so man movies of the time? Was this even different from that Disney movie about cows? Either way, I'm into it, and I want it on Netflix.

6. "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"

I'm pretty sure this used to be on Netflix, but we need to bring it back. The Sprouse twins are all grown up and graduating from college, so it is time to throw it back to the good old days at the Tipton Hotel. Maddie is married now, but what happened to London? Did she ever get back together with the son of the other hotel owner? Did they find each other after college? Did London even go to college? Probably not.

7. "Full House"

Now that they've given us "Fuller House," it is time for Netflix to throw it back with all the original episodes of "Full House." This comparison will allow us to watch how well the cast has aged. I'm looking at you, Aunt Becky. Did they just unfreeze you or something? "Fuller House" is funny and all, but it doesn't hold a candle to "Full House."

8. "Sabrina the Teenage Witch"

Come on, Netflix, get with the program. We don't want a reboot of Sabrina, but we want to original episodes to stream whenever we want, which will be all the time. You have "Melissa and Joey," so why not take us back to "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," the peek of Melissa Joan Hart's career? We need this, Netflix! I named my cat Salem Saberhaggan. That's how devoted I am to this show.

9. "Get a Clue"

If we're going to throw it back to sane Amanda Bynes, it is also time to bring back sane Lindsay Lohan, may her career rest in peace. This was one of the most underrated Disney movies of our lifetime. Why wasn't this made into a book? Even Brenda Song is in this! The mystery was probably way too complicated for my 8 year old mind, but 20 year old me is ready.

10. "Stuck in the Suburbs"

This is another classic Disney Channel movie, and can we just take a moment for young Taran Killam, of "Saturday Night Live" fame? How can this not be Netflix worthy? Also, this also features Brenda Song, proving that she was the actress that dominated my childhood.

12. "Taking Five"

This is one of those movies that sticks with you forever, and no matter how hard you try to forget it, you can't. You're the first to remember the name when one of your middle school friends brings it up, because you're pretty much always thinking of it. No boy band obsession is complete with out contemplations of recreating "Taking Five," but maybe minus Wren from "Even Stevens." Also, I wouldn't really call this "High School Musical" with a twist. How is this like "HSM," besides the singing? That's it, right?

13. "Sleepover"

As I watched Alexa Vega on "Dancing with the Stars," I didn't think of "Spy Kids." I thought of "Sleepover," because for some weird reason, my grandparents had this DVD at their house and I used to watch it on repeat all night. It's time for it to come to Netflix so I can recreate that whenever I please. Also, we all wanted to have such a crazy night when we were in high school, and since it probably never happened, reliving it while alone in our college dorm rooms is the next best thing.

14. "Phil of the Future"

What happened to good Disney channel shows? I miss the days of secret pop stars and boys from a thousand years in the future. "Phil of the Future" was crucial to my childhood desire to be, like Phil, from the future, and while I never quite achieved that, I might get a little closer if Netflix would help a girl out and let it instant stream.

15. "10 Things I Hate About You"

If Netflix wants to keep my service, they need to add the best movie of all time (or at least my lifetime) to their instant streaming service. What could be better than young Heath Ledger (RIP) and young Joseph Gordan-Levitt? Nothing! That's what. The paintball scene is the stuff of teenage romantic dreams, and it is time for me to be able to access that scene whenever I like, wherever I like. When this is finally on Netflix, my life will be complete.

Please, consider this my campaign to Netflix for these films and shows to be added to instant streaming. Until then, no 90s kid can truly be content.

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.
