A 2004 Holiday Wish List

As the holiday's are vastly approaching, us 90s kids are forced to remember the extensive wish list that we prepared for our parents and apologize for the wasted hundreds they spent every year on things we used no more than two times and then forgot about.

1. American Girl Dolls

2. Hit Clips

3. Limited Too Door Bell

4. Portable DVD Player

5. Dream Life Video Game

6. The Sims Expansion Packs

7. Hello Kitty TV

8. Lip Phone

9. Lava Lamps

10. Spice Cam

11. Karaoke Machine

12. Overhead Projector

13. Dance Dance Revolution

14. Nintendo DS

15. Tamagotchi

16. Razor Scooter

17. Easy Bake Oven

18. Webkinz

19. Wacky Packs

20. Iwako Take Apart Erasers

21. Live Strong Bracelets

22. Jibitz for Crocs

23. Beaded Door Curtains

24. iPod Nano

25. Heely's

26. VideoNow

27. Floam

28. PixelChix

29. Dear Diary

30. Bop It

As you read this and nod along, remember the simpler times. Times when 8 year olds weren't walking around with a nicer phone than you and times where a board game actually involved a board and not a computer screen. Throw it back to the hours you spent redecorating your Webkinz home or the time you spent waiting for your VideoNow disc to stop skipping. Happy holidays!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
