90s babies are known for being nostalgic and to be honest, can you really blame us? The 70s were the decade of peace and love, the 80s were the decade of Rock N' Roll, and we were the decade that experienced it all. It was the decade of boy bands, scrunchies, and playing outside until the sun went down. Us 90s kids really did it the best and here are 30 things that only 90s babies will remember:

1. We were texting before texting was a thing

2. We were also there when the original fortune teller was created

3. And let’s not forget M.A.S.H. (aka the greatest, most unrealistic game ever played)

4. The Original Running Man

5.Going to Blockbuster and yes, renting VHS tapes

6. The Nintendo 64

7. And of course all of the amazing games that came with it

8. The Gameboy Color

9. The one pencil that was great until you lost one of the parts

10. And also doing this even though no one could write with that small of a pencil

11. Getting overly excited for the book fair

12. The dreaded AR test

13. The struggle of having to record your ringtone

14. Two Words: Gel Pens

15. The manual pencil sharpener

16. Tamagotchi’s (bet you just realized that you haven't feed it in like, forever)

17. Getting super excited when your teacher brought out the projector

18. And even more excited when you got to watch “Bill Nye: The Science Guy” (and yes, it’s okay to be singing the theme song in your head right now)

19. And even MORE excited getting to watch this

20. The wonder ball

21. Lisa Frank supplies was a must

22. Backstreet Boys, Brittany Spears, N'SYNC, etc.

23. Disney Channel Original Movies

24. Scrunchies

25. Having to carry around your CDs AND your CD player

26. Actually playing outside because it was fun not because you had too

27. These things were the great until you ran over your finger

28. Beanie Babies

29. MTV's TRL

30. And quite possible the thing we miss the most, our beloved TV Shows

So no matter what you other kids think, 90s Kids will always have the best childhood.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
