A few years back, an internet trend started circulating about being a millennial, or a “90’s kid”. People would post photos of VCR’s, floppy disks, and screen-caps from favorite cartoons with captions like “only real 90’s kids will remember this”.

This widespread nostalgia among young people has become so predominant in our society that some have even deemed millennials the “nostalgia generation”. And they’re not wrong. We 90’s kids are about as nostalgic as they come, especially when it comes to the following list:

5. Tamagotchis

The most 90's toy ever invented, Tamagotchi was a HUGE deal. Keeping one alive was a struggle, but for some reason it was always so much fun. And if you didn't have a Tamagotchi, you looked forward to the days when your friends would ask you to "babysit" theirs...

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
