17 Things You Forgot You Loved During The '90s
Collage by Katelyn Esparza

As my second year of college comes to an end, it is hard to believe how quickly the time has gone by! It seems like just yesterday I was making Kool-Aid with my mom and listening to The Backstreet Boys! Time flies, and here are some nostalgia-inducing images to remind you just how far you've come!

1. When Trix cereal was shaped like tiny fruit.


2. Trying not to lose any of the pieces from you Polly Pocket collection (and failing miserably).


3. Having to remember to rewind your Blockbuster rental to avoid getting fined.



4. Having that one friend who always had the newest, coolest toys.



5. Trying to enjoy Bubble Jug even though it always just fell apart in your mouth.



6. Gel pens that always seemed to be out of ink, even when they were brand new.



7. Developing trust issues because the label said "No Tears" and yet, your eyes were always burning.



8. These. Everywhere.


9. Playing "McDonald's" because you secretly thought it could be cool to work at a fast-food restaurant.




10. Getting in trouble when you tried to iron these without your parents' help.


11. Tang.



12. The risk that came from playing with a Skip It, because if that thing hit your ankle you were done.



13. Being totally jealous of that girl down the street who had a Barbie Jeep!



14. Never having quite as much fun with your Easy-Bake Oven as the kids from the commercial. And why did their stuff always come out so much better than yours?



15. The "advanced technology" behind the Poo-Chi toy.



16. Begging your parents for a Video Now.


17. Extremely colorful food that was never as delicious as you imagined it would be.

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.
