As If 90s Kids Could Ever Forget These 9 Toys

These toys were the bomb.

As If 90s Kids Could Ever Forget These 9 Toys

As I get older, especially with all the violence I find myself surrounded with nowadays, I start to miss my childhood more and more—the innocence, being carefree and careless. While kids still possess these qualities, their means of entertainment have taken a drastic turn only a measly 20 years later. They rely more on technology than I ever had in my childhood to pass time, and they own toys and games that just seem mediocre.

Of course, however, I’m going to come off as biased, being raised in the 90s, but what 90s kid can say that we didn’t have the coolest toys? Below is a list containing nine toys every 90s kids should remember, and if not, can you really call yourself a true 90s kid?

1. Crazy Bones

Crazy Bones was the ultimate battle. Forget video games, Crazy Bones filled (if not more than) that thrill of competing. I recently found a box of these in my boyfriend's house, so we battled it out, and I had an absolute blast, even if I lost all three rounds.

2. Pogs

Has anyone ever collected them all? Any character you could possibly think of was surely on the face of a pog. Pogs were another great, engaging way to out-compete your friends to see who could flick theirs the farthest.

3. Wikki Sticks

Get creative! You could form Wikki Sticks into any design you would have liked; you could make pictures without wasting paper. Better yet, if you didn't like what you created, no worries because you could have just straightened them out and started over. They never went bad and the wax feeling never lingered on your fingers.

4. Blo Pens

Another great way to get creative in a creative way! Let's face it, markers got boring. Why not go lightheaded in the name of art? Sure, Blo Pens are still around, but they took the fun out of it, replacing the needed pressure of blowing into the pen with a machine that does it for you. Now, where's the fun in that?

5. Tamagotchi

Tamagotchis were the first form of responsibility 90s kids got all on their own. We had to take care of a digital pet for crying out loud!

6. Junie B. Jones

What 90s girl didn't grow up with Junie B. Jones? The first book being published in 2001 gave kids the perfect character to laugh, smile, and cry with.

7. Furbies

How are these things still around? All I have to say is that they were creepy 20 years ago and they're creepy now. And I still don't know how they got to be so popular.

8. Hot Wheels Track Builder

This was the coolest toy that I owned and probably the most used. Yet another toy that can be used in battle. Whose hot wheel can get through the track without crashing?

9. Neopets

Another virtual reality where children took on the responsibility of caring for a pet. Back in the 90s, it was the most stress I've ever experienced, trying to keep all my pets alive and happy.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
