Once a '90's kid, always a '90's kid.

19 Unforgettable Back-to-School Supplies All 90's Girls Had

The '90's were an unforgettable time for all us girls who proudly sported at least one of these items...

1. Lisa Frank binders and notebooks were an absolute must!

It's safe to say that every girl had something of Lisa Frank. The design options were endless, you could never go wrong with anything!


2. Space Maker pencil boxes.

Everyone wrote their name on the cover with Sharpie Permanent marker, because it was so easy to get them mixed up with someone else's.

3. Scented "Foohy" erasers.

Erasers were a big deal as a child. Scented erasers were the best of the best!

4. Fuzzy Pens.

We all at one point looked like Cher from Clueless with these cute fuzzy pens!

5. Multi-colored push-up pens.

Whoever created these are plain out awesome... every kid loves color, and having multiple colored ink in one pen is the most creative and practical thing to ever exist.

6. Gelly Roll pens.

Gelly Roll pens made everything look better, you can never have enough sparkle!

7. Math blocks.

Math blocks are the reason I know basic math. Thank you for all your help.

8. Glitter crayons.

Again -- you can never have enough sparkle! Glitter crayons made the ordinary look extraordinary!

9. And, the one and only... Crayola Stampers.

Stampers added an extra touch, and they kinda made you look like you knew what you were doing...

10. Bright jelly backpacks.

Looking back, I realize how public this backpack was... but who cares, it looked cool, and spiced up any outfit.

11. The Original Jansport backpack.

Adding patches and pins always made this classic backpack look personalized and fun!

Regardless, we all most likely had one of these items stuffed somewhere inside...

12. Ouch Bubble Gum. Possibly the best gum ever made!

Ouch Bubble Gum made everyone look like they were to school for school.

13. These all predicted our future and solved our problems -- at least that's what we believed.

My dependence on this oddly shaped piece of paper was almost embarrassing... but it was fun to make and served as a great pass time in class.

14. Do we really even know what these are? Probably not, but they were cool and that's all that mattered.

These always gave me an urge to pop them and figure out the mystery of what the heck they're made of!

15. Yes, my Tamagotchi went everywhere I went.

I always took the death of Tamagotchi so realistically, it scared me.

16. The ultimate lunch consisted of one of these snacks.

Sometimes, we would even trade our food... oh, if only that was still a thing!

After organizing all our supplies, we all had an interesting take on our outfits we wore on the first day of school...

17. Stick-on earrings were basically the coolest thing ever.

These made me really happy... maybe because I thought nobody knew they were fake.

18. Thanks to best friend necklaces, they officially claimed who our buddy would be all throughout elementary school.

These necklaces solidified a friendship, but it was always hard deciding which person would get which side of a heart.

19. and we all had to go through the difficult moment of having to give up wearing these shoes once school started.


Today, these shoes question my fashion sense-- but then I realize that they were the "in" thing back in the good old days.

All the way from Lisa Frank folders to a full on scented eraser collection in our Space Maker pencil box, preparing back to school supplies was a memory I will never forget -- or regret --because after all, once a '90's kid, always a '90's kid.

    For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

    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.
