Back when our biggest struggle was what cartoon to watch on TV after school, not which filter we should put on our picture for Instagram.

1. AOL

We all remember that sound and how long it took for us just to log on.

2. MTV Music Videos

Come on, we all watched this in the morning before we left for school.

3. Lisa Frank

Remember those velvet posters? Yeah, me too. I did those on the daily.

4. Clip Its

The more clips you had, the cooler you were. My personal jam? Stronger by Britney Spears.

5. Skip It

So. Much. Fun.

7. Kid Pix

When your computer teacher at school announced that you would be playing on Kid Pix for the rest of class, you knew it was going to be a good day.

8. Glitter Makeup

Before our parents let us start wearing real makeup.

9. Crimped Hair

Just because it was all the rage.

10. Music

We couldn't get enough.

11. Bill Nye The Science Guy


The reason why Science was my favorite subject growing up.

12. Hair Accessories

Yes, just yes.

13. Oregon Trail Game

Whenever the computer teacher would actually try to teach us something, we would play this.

14. Tamagotchi

Most of us didn't even know how to play these, but that's okay, we still attached them to the zipper of our backpacks.

15. Easy Bake Oven

They never quite looked like that when they came out, now did they?

16. Game Boy

Yes, girls had them too (in pink).

17. L'oreal

HA, tear resistant? I think not.

18. Girl Tech Password Journal

Mostly just included doodles of our crush's names, though.

19. Twist-A-Braid

This left our hair in giant knots. Enough said.

20. Floam

Probably the coolest thing ever.

21. Disney Movies

Poor kids now don't realize what the great Disney movies really were.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
