Things To Know Before Living With Someone Stuck In The '90s
90's Child

The '90s treated us well. Perhaps a little too well? Who wants to let go of the fact that the 90s are as far away as 2030 is near! IT'S ABSURD. Who wants to forget about the beloved orange VCR tapes or our favorite dunkable snack, Dunkaroos? Eh, screw living in the now, I want be back in the era where feeding my tamagotchi was my only problem. I know I am not the only one.

Here are five things to know before living with someone who's stuck in the '90s:

1. Food As Outdated As The Style.

If you're rummaging through the cabinet and you see food that you thought didn’t exist anymore, then it most likely belongs to the 90’s lover you're rooming with. These things may include Gushers, different colored Heinz ketchup, Lunchables and Campbell’s Spaghetti O’s (my past personal favorite). So if you see it, DON’T TOUCH IT. Save yourself dawg.


2. Good Old American Sitcoms.

You'll inevitably hear the well-known “Everywhere you Look” or “I’ll Be Waiting For You” intros blaring in the living room. Just, don’t saying anything about our habit of binge watching, I mean you have Pretty Little Liars, and we don't judge you—reciprocate.

Because if you don't, you will get a stink eye like you wouldn't believe. So, just give a “Wow, Uncle Jesse is looking good in that leather jacket” and that will do wonders. Because c’mon it's Uncle Jesse?

3. Style Fresher than the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Whenever your roommate asks whether or not their outfit looks good, lie. The over-sized blue jeans with the over-sized black-and-white plaid flannel works. But that side pony with the purple scrunchie has got to go. Also, are those the Doc Martens I saw Beacons Closet was selling yesterday. Nope no point of saying anything, they are too invested.

4. Slang Dawg.

Okay, so you probably know some slang from when you were younger, but some of these terms are a little different than you remember. Some things to expect when living with a '90s connoisseur is receiving “cheddar” for rent this week. Or perhaps an “eat my shorts” when asked to do manual labor. Oh don’t worry that means to go… hmm, maybe you should check that one out.

5. Beware Of The Music Choices.

If you dare ask who's Lisa Left Eye Lopez you might get a few choice words. When your roommate is hard-core jamming to something that has to do with “people not wanting a scrub” or “creeping” don’t think anything of it. This is a natural part of being an admirer of the '90s. Along with adoring something called a “back street boy.”

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
