If You Were Born in The 90's

If You Were Born in The 90's

Don't get me wrong; I love finally being considered an adult and living on my own, but I would be lying if I said I don't miss the times where my biggest worry was if I was getting the Webkinz I wanted for Christmas, or if I was going to get home in time to catch the Full House reruns on TV. With the election controversies being at an all time high and regular college stress being amped up so close to finals, I decided to think back on all the things I miss about growing up. Here is a list of things you probably remember if you were born in the 90's.

1. Uncle Jesse was your first crush.

2. Lunchables were your go-to lunch of choice.

3. This was the only car you ever wanted.

4. You were disappointed every time you went to a hotel and it was nothing like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

5. You thought you were bad because you dyed a piece of your hair blue for a week.


6. Nobody pulled off side bangs better than you.

7. You spent all your allowance on one $40 shirt from Abercrombie (and wore it three times a week).


8. You spiced up your mornings with a singing toothbrush.

9. You wore Sperry's, even if you had never even been on a boat before.

10. Heelys were your preferred method of transportation.

11. Slip N Slides were the highlight of your summer.

12. In elementary school, it was super cool for your parents to come visit you.

13. You felt the struggle of only being able to have the blue and red puffle if you didn't have a paid Club Penguin membership.

14. You wanted to apply to be a contestant on Fetch with Ruff Ruffman.

15. You think Hilary Duff should have won a Grammy.

16. The High School Musical soundtrack was the first soundtrack you ever owned (and HSM 2...and HSM 3... and you probably saw them in concert).

17. Wonder Balls were THE candy.

18. You went to Block Buster on Friday nights.

19. To this day you still wonder what it feels like to get slimed.

20. Moonshoes.

21. Your room probably looked something like this

or this

So when you are feeling stressed because of finals or become worried about the future of American, pop your wheels in your Heelys, throw on a graphic tee, and remember how grateful you are to be grown up like you always wished you 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.
