We Heart The '90s

Thank goodness we all came to our senses and started bring back some of the true goods back to the 21st century.

Ah the '90s — what a great time to be alive. Well for most of us, we were pretty new to this world during the '90s. Looking back on pictures and listening to stories we hear, it was pretty great. Who could not love a time when scrunchies were all the craze? Here are five things from the 90’s that will always live in our hearts.

1. VHS Tapes

VHS tapes were the best thing back in the day. It seemed like everything under the sun was on the VHS tape. Being sick meant you got to watch endless movies and your only worry was having to get out of bed to change the tapes. It is crazy to think that the last VCR was made last week.

2. Tamagotchi

Tamagotchis were the best and worst pets to have as a kid. You got the chance to learn how to take care of something without really killing it. But keeping those things a live was probably one of the hardest thing ever. It was the worse when they died, but then you could always start again and the sadness was traded in for happiness and determination to keep this one alive.

3. Kid Pix

Kid Pix was the best part of going to computer class. You got to be an artist while being a tech savvy elementary student. It was always the best to get down with your assignment and have enough time to get on kid pix. The candy and money stamp was always the best to fill up your page with.

4. Smelly Markers

No other marker compared to these markers. The flavors were spot on and it made any poster that much better. Everyone always wanted to use these at the coloring station. Hopefully these markers are still around because if not that is true tragedy.

5. AIM

AIM was the hottest thing during the '90s. Everyone remembers their AIM name from back in the day. AIM was the way to communicate with anyone before you got your first phone. You could chat with your bestie while also doing your homework. If someone was annoying, you; you easily just hop offline and that would be the end of that.

The '90s were great, and there was so many great things from the '90s. Thank goodness we all came to our senses and started bring back some of the true goods back to the 21st century.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
