10 Reason Being A 90's Kid Rocked

It was a time for change, tragedy, and smile-worthy memories.

10 Reason Being A 90's Kid Rocked

1. Cartoons.

Have you noticed that the cartoon shows today are pretty lame? Back in the '90s, Saturday mornings meant marathons of "Doug," "Hey Arnold!,"" Rugrats," "Courage the Cowardly Dog," and many more. These shows made being a '90s kid worthwhile, even if they were just on for 30 minutes.

2. Fewer electronics.

Growing up in the '90s, we didn’t have as many electronics as kids do today. Instead, most of us had a Super Nintendo, GameBoy, or maybe just maybe a PlayStation. But we always found ourselves playing outside, almost every day. Back then, going outside was worth the time and the trouble (see: Ding Dong Ditch). Playing games like tag, hide and seek, and red light, green light was significantly more rewarding than staring at screens.

3. Disney Channel.

Even though I mentioned cartoon shows, Disney Channel deserves its own category. Back then, Disney shows didn't repeat the premise of a show over and over again (like "Liv and Maddie" when Disney ran out of twins). On that note, it was also rare to use the same actors for more than two shows. Oh, and let's not forget about those movies that were actually good.

4. This gets its own number. Don't ask.

5. Bill Nye The Science Guy.

Nothing will compare to the feeling of walking into your science classroom and seeing this picture on the roll-in television.

6. Awesome game shows.

Guts, Wild and Crazy Kids, Double Dare 2000, Legends of the Hidden Tomb -- should I really keep this going? This is probably hurting someone feelings out there... millennial kids.

7. Music used to be art.

Tupac, B.I.G., Wu-Tang Clan, N’sync, Backstreet Boys, and 98 degrees -- just to name a few. If these names sound familiar, well, they should. These individuals were real artists. What happen to music that used to come from the heart.

8. VHS tapes had personality.

I’m looking at you, Nickelodeon.

9. Remember these?

10. It’s alright, because you're...

And even though we tell the millennial kids they have it easy, we can always look back on this decade and say…

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.
