20 Items That Made You "Cool" In Elementary School In The 90s

If you were a kid born in the 90s, then you know what it was like to have a childhood filled with of all the best kinds of toys! We were imaginative, playful kids always making up something to do. More often than not, these activities were always filled with our toys and imagination, the items that could never compare to a game that today's kids download from the app store. Here’s a list of some of the best items that all of the elementary school kids had in the 2000's that made you the cool kid on the block!


1. Tamagotchis

You also probably tried to play it in your desk during class so you could attempt to keep them alive...

2. Nintendo Game Boy

You were even cooler if you had the Game Boy Color.

3. CD Walkman

You had to listen to it during recess in order to show off your coolness!

4. Polly Pockets

Move over Barbie...

5. American Girl Dolls

Bitty Babies, Look-Alikes, Girl of the Year or the Forever girls...you wanted one of each.

6. Easy Bake Oven

How many bad cakes did you make your parents eat?

7. Smencils

They smelt so good back then....

8. Anything and everything Foohy

Smelly erasers, rulers, pencil sharpeners... they had it all, and the more you have the cooler you were!

9. Mighty Beanz

What were even the point of these?

10. Lunchables

If you weren't buying "Hot Lunch," then these made you the cool kid at the table...

11. Cats Cradle

Who knew a string could be so entertaining?

12. Your parent's old cell phone

You couldn't do anything with it, but yet it was still cool to have.

13. Webkinz

You would search every store for one of these, except most stores would always sell out within a day of shipment!

14. YoYo ball

We could never master the use of an actual yoyo...

15. Password Journal

Easy to open without the password, but you wrote your crushes name basically on every page!

16. Skip it

The cool ones counted your amount of "skips."

17. 64 pack crayons with the sharpener

Did you ever actually use the sharpener?

18. Pens with multiple colors

And we were all guilty of trying to push all the colors at once!

19. Pokemon Cards

You had to collect them all...

20. Razor Scooters

And our ankles will never forgive us...


Feeling the flashbacks? Were you a "cool kid?"

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.
