Nostalgic Yet? '90s Fads That Brought So Much Happiness

Nostalgic Yet? '90s Fads That Brought So Much Happiness

As a kid growing up in the '90s, I had the pleasure of experiencing so many quality ideas that unfortunately were only popular for my childhood. Sadly most fads today are in the forms of technology and things like dress up Barbie and Bop-it are simply boring ideas of entertainment. After nannying for two kids last summer, its clear that the value in interaction during playtime is severely lacking. By bringing over some of my old toys, I saw that they actually were enjoying their time together while I reminisced on my favorite memories of the first grade. 

1. Easy Bake Oven. The food was definitely not edible, but sure made you seem responsible trying to make your own dinner.


2. Furbies. Quite creepy that pressing their tongue makes them talk to you.


3. Mouse Trap. Once you put together all 957 pieces, your'e already bored with it.


4. Polly Pockets. Couldn't even find half the pieces. Especially Polly's purses and shoes. 


5. Fashion plates. The inner designer in us all.


6. Pretty Pretty Princess


7. Playmobile


8. Hungry Hungry Hippos


9. Brain Quest. My mom used to bring this when we would go out to dinner. Sneaky way to get the education in. 


10. Moon Shoes. Not even sure how these were fun? You couldn't even walk down the driveway without taking them off.


11. Skip-It. Everyone in my cul-de-sac had one. Every night in the summer after dinner we would play outside until our parents yelled t us to come in for bed.


12. Magic Mitt. The baseball mitt for females.


13. Perfection. The anticipation to see if you could place all of the pieces before the whole box exploded. 


14. Poo-Chi. A robot dog, how clever.

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.

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.
