10 Weird Things We Did As Kids After Watching '90s Classic Movies

As all you '90s babies out there know, we had some of the best movies growing up. Being the weird children we were with our crazy imaginations, we wanted to be like those cool kids or characters in the movies. So, here's a small tribute to a few of those great '90s films, and the unusual things you may have done after watching these classics.

1. "The Sandlot"
After watching "The Sandlot," I couldn't have been the only weird one who used Squints' dramatic "FOR-EH-VER" when the moment called for it. Then, when your friends didn't know what you were talking about, "You're killin' me, Smalls!" Such a classic.

2. "Toy Story"
You loved the movie, but then you would go home and stare at your toy box or the stuffed animals on your bed and wonder if that's where you really placed that teddy bear when you left. Going to bed was the worst though, thinking you were going to see your action figure's shadow pass by on the wall from your night light.

3. "Home Alone"
Oh, you had your booby traps planned out throughout the house to get the bad guys for when your parents left you home alone ... whenever that was going to be because you weren't old enough to be home alone anyway, in reality.

4. "Matilda"
Did you stare at something (a doorknob, in particular) for a super-long time with unfaltering concentration until nothing happened? It's okay, you were just making sure you definitely didn't have those awesome telekinetic powers, too. Turns out you're normal.

5. "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective"
Ahh, so many things. The usual, "LOOO-HOOO-ZUH-HER!" thrown at your sibling or attempting to stuff two packs of Big Red gum in your mouth, but then vowing to never do it again. And if you were disturbed enough, maybe even doing the butt-talking thing to whomever would tolerate it. Okay, I'll stop there.

6. "The Goonies"
Yelling, "HEY YOUU GUYYYSSS!!!" whenever ... just whenever. Or pouring your drink back and forth in two cups pretending to be Mouth, "Ay Mikey, gotta go to the bathroom?" because it was just fun. And you caught me, this is a 1985 movie, but it was still one we all saw and loved. I had to include it, sue me.

7. "The Thirteenth Year"
Mermaids and mermen were completely real. And now you just eagerly await your thirteenth birthday so you can climb walls, grow a beautiful tail and live in the ocean forever. FOR-EH-VER.

8. "Halloweentown"
If you had a colorful broom in your home, it was over. And you would stuff any big bag you had to make it seem neverending, but your parents didn't know your witch secrets.

9. "The Lion King"
Your dog, cat or stuffed animal was doomed because they were being lifted into the open air while you were on top of any high surface you could get on while yelling, "AHHHH SAY HENYAAAA BABA BEE SE BABAAAAAAAA ..." No judgment if you still do this.

10. "The Little Rascals"
Whether it was in the shower or with hair gel, you've attempted to rock that Alfalfa hairdo, but could never get it to look quite like his. You couldn't have a dollar without singing, "I've got a dollar, hey hey hey hey!" And we can't ever forget the finger-wiggling handshake or wave under your chin. I'm guilty of that one to this day.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
