If you're anything like me, or most other '90s kids, you remember how cool you were back in fourth grade with your Lisa Frank notebooks, folders, and other school supplies. From the bright colors to the cute animals, you were THE IT GIRL if you had Lisa Frank merchandise.

Life hasn't been the same for 90s kids since the Lisa Frank craze slowed down, and we all started becoming adults. Never fear, though, because Lisa Frank just made a comeback in a BIG way!

10 Things From The 2000s To Put You In Your Feels And Transport You Back To Your Middle School Days

Sophia Guerra

Thinking about graduation these past few weeks has put me in a weird sentimental mood lately (I don't ever get emotional, #virgovibes) and I decided to just rub salt in the wound and really take it there. I went on a trip back to the mid-2000s and made a list of my obsessions from that era. Honestly, now all I want is to color a Lisa Frank coloring book and buy a pair of gauchos.

As the baby boomers and gen X start to age and leave management positions, Millennials are starting to take them over.

Although older generations put down millennials, they are pretty innovative and are a group that is highly nostalgic. We are the generation that loved the way we grew up and the things we had during that time. Unfortunately, a lot of the things we grew up were retired or didn't cut new "safety" standards.

I'm sure you have been asked once or twice in your life what your favorite quote is. Be it for your high school yearbook or just in general conversation, one always feels the need to make the quote as groundbreaking as possible.

19 Things That Only Kids Who were Born in The '90s Will Remember, Even The 1999 Babies

Instagram

I can't be the only late '90s baby out there who's been accused of not being a "true '90s kid." I may have been born in 1998 at the end of the '90s, and well the turn of the century was when I was almost two but even so, I remember growing up with pretty much all of the things in this list.

So in truth, I don't remember hearing "Ice Ice Baby" on the radio or ever thinking fanny packs were that cool. I only got the aftermath of those state-of-the-art Fisher Price record players, and I'm sure people knew about scratch n' sniff stickers long before I was even an afterthought.
