No More '90s Nostalgia Blues

No More '90s Nostalgia Blues
sporcle

If you're like me, you grew up watching classic Nickelodeon cartoons like The Ren And Stimpy Show (which I wasn't really allowed to watch), Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, Cat Dog, Doug, Angry Beavers, The Wild Thornberries, Rocket Power, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, KaBlam!, and, of course, SpongeBob SquarePants. Most of us kids born in the 1990s still lament the fact that all of these shows (save for ol' SpongeBob) are no longer on the air or only running via syndication. I do not exaggerate when I say these shows literally shaped our formative years more than parents or school ever could. You say TV rots your brain, I say "MOVE IT FOOTBALL HEAD!" Those are the life lessons really worth passing on, aren't they?

Well, every '90s kid can now shake off their depression due to the gaping void the absence of these shows causes each and every painful day of our lives. Nick's parent company, Paramount, announced that it will be cramming all of its beloved '90s Nicktoons into an Avengers-esque movie. Apparently, it'll be a mixture of animation and live action in the vain of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam. I guess you can group Cool World in their too, but no one ever does. They've already had success with this crossover when it came to both SpongeBob movies and and two made-for-tv Fairly OddParents features with Drake Bell.

I don't care if this a cash grab meant to pander to people like me. Paramount can have my social security number if it means I get to see my childhood up on the silver screen, even for one last time. I'm literally bursting with excitement for something we may not see for years. So many of the shows were left with no closure. Did Arnold ever travel to Central America to find his parents and the Green Eyed People? What ever came of Eliza's talent of speaking with animals? I must know the answers and now I will! And who knows, maybe Reptar will stomp around New York or something. Someone better get Eddie Valiant on the phone.

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.

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.
