Growing up in the 90's

Such a cool time to grow up in.

Growing up in the 90's

Believe it or not, the 90’s was such a cool time to grow up. It is true that we grew up very different than kids today. We had many cool little gadgets before apps on the iphone were a thing, and awesome shows and movies. I’ve realized how awesome it really was to have grown up in the 90’s into the transition of the 2000’s. These are just a few of the cool things that people that grew up in the 90's know about and understand.

1. The HitClips: 20 second clips of songs that everybody had/wanted before the iPod

Whoever had the most was super cool, and if you had he boombox you got even more bonus points.

2. This game was also pretty fun, since iPhones weren't a thing until 2007.

3. Or these colorful gadgets


They even let me play with these at the dentist office while I waited for the dentist.

4. And lets not forget about when the Tamagotchi's came out

Even though I'm still confused as to what this game/toy is.

5. When you did play on the computer most people had Neopets (1999)


Still not sure what this was either.

6. And AIM before you could really text


What was your screename? Jonasbrotherfansxoxo or (yournamewithyourbirthday and xo)


7. There was away messages as well


8. And we had really fun, cool chocolates

Always trying to convince our parents in the check-out line,

explaining how awesome and necessary wonderball’s were

9. And awesome collections of classic Disney movies


Yes, you had to manually rewind them.


10. And when you went outside to play with the Skip-it (or inside)


10. And many of us had normal shoes until.. 2000 when Heely's were introduced


Whoever dared to use these in the middle school hallways… were impressive, just not to the teachers. Or if you were a klutz like me you definitely didn't get these.


But, really there are also so many TV show's on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel from the 90's as well, which shows how these are just 10 of the many awesome perks of growing up as a 90's kid.

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.
