The Nostalgia Generation

Things that make millennials long for their childhood

The Nostalgia Generation

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”.

Millennials have been known to feel great nostalgia for the “good ol’ days”, even though most of us are below the age of 30. 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:


1. The Black Parade

Or any other punk song from our adolescence for that matter. Many of us have our favorite pop-punk and emo songs from middle school saved to iTunes. You may have outgrown the side-bangs and guy-liner, but when this 2006 song comes on, everyone sings along.


2. Wonderballs


Or Fruit Rollups, or Gushers, or any other distinctly 90's snack. These snacks tended to be violently colorful, full of sugar, and they really need to make a comeback.


3. Any Disney movie made in the 90's


We grew up with these classic films, so when movie night rolls around, its hard to say no to "Hercules" or "The Lion King"...


4. French Toast Crunch


Everyones favorite cereal recently made a comeback, and it was well worth the wait!


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...

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
