'90s Nostalgia

If you are a '90s baby like me, then you will love this list of things that are dearly missed from that time period.

'90s Nostalgia
Betches

Nineties babies are known for being the most nostalgic humans on the planet. All of this is for good reason. The '90s were full of great fashion choices, frosted tips, and the best cartoons known to man. So without further ado, let me take you on a trip down memory lane.

  1. Getting Slimed on Nickelodeon

We didn’t care how nasty it was. Every kid wished that they could be on the TV channel getting that nasty green slime poured on their head. Our parents failed to see the reasoning behind it, but we didn’t care at all.

2.Folding up a piece of paper into the fortuneteller.

This thing could practically predict how your day was going to go, and what your favorite color was. Mind=BLOWN.

3. Silly Putty

This stuff was so stupid that you couldn’t help but not love it. You always bought them whenever you saw them. It was a really pointless toy to buy, but it was a stress reliever all the same.


4. The BEST hand-held video game console

This was THE thing to have. Pokémon was my go to game on my Gameboy Color. I would stay up late into the night with my attachable light so I could see the screen while trying to get gym badges.

5. M.A.S.H the game

This game set up your whole future for you in a matter of a few minutes. You always added your crush on the list of whom you were going to marry, but it never worked out no matter how hard you tried. I always got stuck marrying someone I “hated” at the time, living in a shack, and having 200 kids, and driving a minivan.

6. Blockbuster

This was the place to go. They had everything you needed including the newest movies and video games. I remember begging my parents to take me there on the weekends to get some new movies to watch.

7. Fanny Packs

Before Sorority girls carried these things like their lives depended on it fanny packs where a cool thing to have. You would just throw all of your favorite toys in, and some snacks and you were set.

8. The Original 151 Pokémon

There is no arguing that these are the best Pokémon ever. They were everywhere, video games, TV shows, movies, cards, and of course clothes. There was no harder choice than having to choose your starter Pokémon.

9. Goosebumps Books

These books were the best because they were short, and just scary enough to make you not want to read them in the dark.

10. Push-Ups Popsicles

The Flintstone’s orange flavored push-ups will always hold a special place in my heart. Those were the best popsicles and they didn’t even make a mess like the others because all you had to do was push them up as you ate them.

11. Furby

Everyone at least had one of these. You could get them anywhere. I remember always trying to get a new one I did not have out of my happy meals at McDonalds. These were legit toys too. They talked, and their eye blinked which was super cool technology back then.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
