You Know You Were A 90s Kid Designer If You...
9gag

If you did these things back in the day, rest assured, you're headed down the perfect career path. Were you meant to be a designer? Have you always been a low-key graphic artist? Find out if you're doing what you really love!

You were a 90's kid designer if...

1. You've colored an abundance of fuzzy posters.

...but Crayola over RoseArt forever.

2. You joined (or created) only the prettiest of all the Neopets guilds. Your petpets taught you how to code.

3. Never did get that baby paintbrush, but your Neopets looked something like this:

Neopets was your career; it took years to save up for that mystery paintbrush and now your ugly, starving Meerca is going up for adoption.

Only the pros had perfectly justified text to make clean-cut rectangles when highlighted by the cursor...OCD's greatest satisfaction. You changed your icon once a week.

4. You drew bubble letters. Everywhere.

5. You had an inexplicable obsession with stickers...

Puffy, fuzzy, shiny, and smelly ones. I'll trade you!

6. You made album covers for your torrent "mixes."

7. You've had the privilege of owning at least one pack of gel pens. Your agenda was pimped out.

8. Whether you wrote in it or not, your diary was beautiful.


9. Picking out birthday invitations was half of the excitement. Your valentines were always impressive.

10. You totally judged books by their covers.


11. Your bedroom had a very strict color palette.

i.e., varying shades of bubblegum/hot pink, baby blue, and lavender. Apple green with light and dark blues only, please.

12. The color of your walls didn't even matter because...posters.

13. You cut the pretty ads out of magazines.

Poptart poster series? Only the cool kids.

14. You took the time to (properly) mismatch your crazy socks.

Red and blue? Zebra with polka dots? Embarrassing? Nah, impressive.

15. Your parents had to limit the time you spent on the computer...or you were lucky enough to have your own.


16. AC Moore might as well have been a theme park.

But you would never buy a thing without your 'coups.

17. Photobucket and TinyPic always lost your images...

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.

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.
