Our childhood was the best.

Five Reasons Why Growing Up In The 90's Was The Best
Identity

If you grew up in the 90's or early 2000's you were lucky enough to experience some pretty awesome stuff. The following 5 things will probably take you right back to those elementary school days:

1. Gamecube

You probably spent most of your free time brawling it out in Super Smash Bros., racing around in Mario Kart, or shredding the slopes in SSX Tricky on the best gaming device that ever existed. With it's tiny game disks, compact size, and easy to use controllers, no amount of technological advancement can ever take away the sweet memory of playing with a GameCube after school.

2. Etch A Sketch

Remember when this was the cool "techy" toy that some restaurants and doctor's offices had for you to play with while waiting for your table or your appointment?

3. Otter Pops

Who needs popsicles? A party wasn't a party without these bad boys.

4. 90's Cartoons

Let's face it, we had the best cartoons growing up in the 90's and 2000's. Nothing beats an after school marathon of Rocket Power, Hey Arnold, or The Wild Thornberry's.

5. AIM

Throwback to the days when this was the main way to chat with your friends when you weren't with them. No form of communication will ever replace AIM in our hearts.

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.
