Things 90's Babies Remember

Now, call me biased, but I think the 90's babies were born in the best century. We were the last children to have home phones with wall cords, chunky white computers with monitors that took ages to turn on, and, of course, all of the following:

1. The old Disney Channel

Thats So Raven, Kim Possible, Hannah Montana. Enough said.

2. The folded notes

This was the 90's version of texting in class. But don't assume it was any easier to pass these babies around and not get caught. You'd pray the teacher didn't see you because they most likely say something like "What is so interesting on that piece of paper? How about I read it aloud?" And then the whole 5th grade class would know about your secret crush on Josh and it wouldn't quite be a secret anymore.

3. Gummy Pizzas and Crabby Patties.

I actually thought these were absolutely disgusting but I still ate them for some reason...

4. The famous multi-colored pens.

This is what we used to write to our bestie about our secret crush on Josh.

5. Paper fortune cookies.

Just admit it... you've made over 400 of these in your lifetime. I get it, trust me.

6. The book-fair days were the happiest days of elementary school.

7. Rainbow Fish.


This was every 90's kids bedtime story.

8. Goofus and Gallant.

The Goofus and Gallant stories were the first thing you went to when you got your Highlights magazine for the month...just admit it.

9. Matilda movie day.

That day in middle school when you had popcorn and juice and got to spend the class watching Matilda after reading the book.

10. Tamagotchis.

You were the coolest kid if you had the V5.

11. Fruit Stripes.

Lasts a good 55.6 seconds before you need a new piece, but its still pretty awesome.

12. Ouch Bubble Gum.

The best gum ever invented. (Besides Fruit Stripes of course)

13. These water thingys.

Do these have an actual name?

14. Flintstone vitamins.

The most disgusting thing ever invented besides gummy pizza and Crabby Patties.

15. Either the best day in gym or a pinched finger.

I was always the pinched finger, sadly.

16. Kids Bop.

We all know how annoying these were but we still listened to them on repeat anyways.

17. Your favorite after-school snacks were Dunkaroos, Gushers, and Cosmic Brownies.


And last but certainly not least......

18. Potato Smiles.

Only the cutest food ever invented...

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.

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.

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.
