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.

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.
