Why 90s Music Matters

It was the last best decade.

Why 90s Music Matters
Seb Janiak

At one point in time, there was a decade that was known as the 'last best decade.' Besides the 1980s swag and introduction to many many other things, this was the next best thing. A decade called the 1990s. I was born in the year 1994, also known as the "chaotic year." The reason being, well let's take a look. Between OJ, Nancy and Tonya, the debut of The Notorious BIG, and the death of one of grunge music's fallen hero Kurt Cobain.

You could say the middle of the decade was event filled. I'm happy to say that I am a child from one of the craziest and most exciting decades. There is nothing like the 90s, and there is definitely nothing like 90s music. You can go into any restaurant, any bar, or go shopping to listen to any tunes from the 90s. Over the summer I went to an outside bar on Long Island located in the Hampton Bays that played extensive throwbacks back to back. The best part is, you would never get sick of it. You would find yourself knowing every word to every song without even realizing it.

I can't express anything more than just excitement whenever I listen to music. There is a joy that comes from it, and a memory that I always remember. Everyone has a song from that decade that makes them feel something. Whether it be happy, sad, angry, or anxious. Sure, with all of our popular songs from the artists that we know and love today, there will definitely never be another decade like the 90s. Eventually, when I have children and grandchildren, I will never get tired telling them about the decade I was born in. All the excitements, all the controversies, and even a moment when we all thought the world was going to end before the new millennium, aka Y2K. In a time where everything was carefree yet scandalous, there will never EVER be another! Those were the times that were irreplaceable. *Sigh*.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
