I Was Born In The 90s, But I'm A 2000s Kid

No one really understands pure bliss until you've seen a mash-up episode on Disney Channel.

I'm talking about the '97, '98, '99 kids that do not really know what living in the 90s truly feels like. I mean, I am sure we all like to claim that we are 90s babies, because technically we are, however, we didn't live that life.

I have come to the conclusion that the early 2000s were truly amazing. No one really understands pure bliss until you've seen a mash-up episode on Disney Channel. Let's not pretend when Disney Channel put That So Raven, Hannah Montana, and The Suite Life all on one episode that it didn't change our lives.

In the early 2000s, there was no such thing as a bad spin-off show on Disney. I mean, come on, I can't trust anyone who didn't love Cory in the House! I used to wrap myself in a blanket and make my sister unroll me like the episode where Meena shows her American Clothes under her Bahavian dress. Truly iconic.

Also, let's not all forget when we all first experienced betrayal –– when Jamie Lynn Spears decided to ruin Zoey 101 by getting pregnant. Our 10-year-old hearts never really got the full closure we all longed for.

Don't even get me started on the fashion! Gaucho pants, jeans under skirts, and rubber band chokers! Can we all just come together as the not-so-90s babies and bring back the super-soft Juicy tracksuits? I'm begging.

It sounds weird to say but, I miss the Myspace days! We can all understand the blood, sweat, and tears it took to choose who was going to be on the top list of friends! Choosing the perfect layout for your profile is equivalent to choosing the perfect outfit for a date, nowadays.

Can we just go back to the days were the only thing we had to worry about was if Miley was going to pick Jake or Jesse? Life in the 2000s was a blast, I don't feel bad about missing out on the true 90s culture because I enjoyed every minute of my childhood.

I have a sister that's only 18 months older than me, so we grew up watching the same stuff, playing with the same toys, and listening to all the music the 2000s had to offer us. We never watched Saved by the Bell, Boy Meets World, or any true 90s classics that everyone raves about. But I am ok with that because I had Libby Lu, High School Musical dance along specials, Wonder Ball, and so much more!

For all the not-so-90s kids, I just want to say, we had it good! We are all at the end of our teens now and in our 20s, and it's hard not to cringe when I see the 10-year anniversary of all of our favorite shows and movies.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
