4 Classic Board Games That All '90s Kids Will Remember
Bustle

The '90s were a time when board games had an appeal to kids and they enjoyed playing with them. It was something simple that could be done with family and friends and usually always allowed for a fun time. These are classic board games that are remembered.

1. Monopoly

You start with $1500 of your own as you cross a board buying property and trying to get your own homes and hotels to acquire more money as the game progresses. Be careful to avoid going to jail or giving your competitors the money that belongs to you. It is a game of chance and whatever happens could be for better or worse.

2. Life

This game puts many people’s lives together in one single nutshell. We go to college and look for jobs. There is a time when we consider marriage and even go through being fired , unfortunately for some, or a mid-life crisis even. $10,000.00 is allotted to the player and it is the player's job to make the right decisions and make sure their life is how they would like it to be.

3. Scrabble

If you ever want to test your vocabulary, this is the game to play. Using every title that is available to you and connecting what is already on the board will cause one on thinking, which word shall be played. Whoever has the most points in the end wins. Play each tile carefully and beat your opponent with the words played.

4. Checkers

Two players are pitted against each other and have to move each piece. They carefully capture what pieces the other player has. Make the right move and continue to advance until everything is in your possession. Taking the game into your own hands matters in this game.

Playing these games are what '90s kids did and we still remember them today. They bring us back to those nostalgic memories of our childhood when we didn't have iPhones to play games on. That is what these games did for us and why they have a place in our heart today. Their legacy lives on.

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.
