5 Great Aspects Of Growing Up In The 90s

The 90s are back! Well no, not really. However it seems that most of the styles of the 90s TV shows are being revamped and brought into our modern times. We have all seen the Twitter trends, "You know you're a 90s baby if..." or "Only 90s kids will understand..." Why is that? Aside from the fact that the 90s were time of pure awesomeness, it was also a great time of change. So in honor of this new, not-so-newfound craze "the 90s," here are five great things about growing up in the 90s!

1. The music.


The 90s were known for an array of music from grunge and pop to hip-hop and rap. MTV, before it consisted of bad reality shows and stories of people getting catfished, it actually played music. Bands like 311, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Backstreet Boys, and The Spice Girls redefined what music was and how fans reacted to music.

2. The TV shows.


There was nothing like the television shows from the 90s. From Nickelodeon's "Rugrats" and "Doug," Disney channel original movies, to sitcoms like "Friends," it seemed like there was no better time for television than in the 90s. The shows of the 90s reminded us to have fun, enjoy our youth, and that there is something powerful about sending important messages through television.

3. The clothes.

The baggy style of the 90s clothes made it iconic. You couldn't decide whether your style fit more of a DJ Tanner type of look or Cher's from "Clueless." It was a time where denim outfits were not only acceptable to wear, but encouraged and admired. Whether it was baggy shirts, baggy pants or a combination of the two, you could never go wrong.

4. The TV game shows.


There was nothing more exciting than turning on the TV and watching "Guts," "Double Dare 2000," or even "Legends of the Hidden Temple." Kids from all over wanted to be on these gameshows participating in the games. You are lying if you didn't practice the trivia while the contestants were playing. These gameshows made any kid feel like they could be the one to win the awesome prizes (like the newest bike or game boy that was available at the time).

5. The treats.

Snack time was never better than when you would whip out a Wonderball (you 90s kids know what I'm talking about), or a pack of Dunkaroos (the choice of chocolate or vanilla was very serious and could make or break friendships). Not only did you have delicious treats to munch on, but all of a sudden everyone wanted to be your friend.

If you were lucky enough to live in the 90s, you got to experience some pretty awesome trends.

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.

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.
