29 Proven ‘90s Nostalgia Triggers Millennials Consume Like Cocaine

Paramount Pictures

For those of us ages 14 years old to 36 years old, there are a few things we love more than coke. One of those is the 1990s, a decade when life was all play, no work.

It is no surprise that we are constantly bringing back trends from the '90s. There is even a '90s nostalgia box you can subscribe to and once a month, get '90s items delivered to your door.

We have a hard time leaving things in the past and I guarantee you saw at least 10 of these items today.

1. Scrunchies.

The perfect hair accessory to take your hair from drab to fab.

2. Doc Martins.

Combat boots are so bad ass and practical.

3. Overalls.

Leave one strap off and you have reached the pinnacle of the '90s.

4. Grunge.

Thank you, Seattle.

5. Birkenstocks.

They are comfortable and will last forever. Sign me up.

6. Jelly Sandals.

Bonus points if they have glitter.

7. Skate tees.

Appropriating skater culture is so '90s.

9. One pant leg tucked into your sock.

This one is mainly due to Eleven's bad ass entrance in "Stranger Things 2."

10. Bleached hair.

Frosted tips never looked so good.

11. Crop tops.

Boys, please get in on this.

12. Mom jeans.

Comfortable and sexy. Let's go to the thrift store ASAP.

13. Neon windbreakers.

The wind never stood a chance against this fashion trend.

14. Adidas superstars.

*Insert bad pun about being a superstar here*

15. Striped Sweaters.

Oversized and comfortable for the win.

16. Ripped jeans

Wear hole or tear hole?

17. Flannels.

Tie them around your waist or wear them properly. They are hot regardless.

18. New Balance sneakers.

Dad shoes are the greatest thing since the '90s.

19. Turtlenecks.

Thank God for turtlenecks because they make the winter bearable.

20. Bucket Hats.

Value village trip, anyone?

21. Timberland boots.

These are no longer just an NY thing.

22. Tommy Hilfiger.

Tommy Hilfiger is the new Calvin Klein.

23. Chokers.

Fair warning. You will probably receive dad jokes about not being able to breathe.

24. Brown Lipstick.

No one does this better than Kylie.

25. Platform shoes.

Added height but also added risk of breaking your ankle.

26. Denim.

Canadian suit, baby.

27. Pixie hair cuts.

These are gorgeous.

28. Butterfly clips.

These make me feel like a kid again and I low-key love it.

29. Bowl cuts.

OK, these could probably could have been left behind.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.
