Why Being a 90's Kid (Pop) Rocks

Between the snacks we ate, the clothes we wore, and the shows we watched, there is something about the say about the 90's babies out there!

Why Being a 90's Kid (Pop) Rocks
Cailyn Walter

So before I begin, I must admit I cannot really call myself a 90's kid. In fact, I was technically only alive in the 90's for a solid 20 days. However by definition, since I was born in 1999, I am technically a 90's kid and therefore able to speak on why that was pretty awesome! Although I guess I am pretty biased, being raised in the early 2000's shaped me into who I am today!


1. We had some pretty delicious snacks

Between Trix Yogurts, Little Hugs Juice, Pop Rocks, and so many more, the snacks we used to eat were quite fun!

2. Our form of exercise was FUN

Although these toys probably were not the safest nor most sturdy, they kept us entertained for hours and that was all that mattered!

3. Our classrooms consisted of papers, pencils, chalkboards, and maybe an overhead projector if we were lucky

Our classrooms were simple which meant more focused learning and less emphasis on technology!

4. However, we knew when this was rolled into the classroom it was going to be a good day...

It didn't matter what movie we were watching, we just knew that when we walked into the classroom and saw this, we were in for a treat!

5. Hulu and Netflix weren't around yet, but these were most certainly in their prime

Although rewinding them wasn't always the most fun thing to do, these tapes had all of my favorite movies on them!

6. We talked to each other and had play dates instead of FaceTime calls

A simple game like this of "predicting each other's futures," kept us entertained for HOURS!

7. Bill Nye the Science Guy, School House Rock, and the Magic School Bus, taught us everything we know today

'Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Nye the Science Guy!'

8. We were raised on shows such as "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "Full House"

Not only were these shows entraining and appropriate, but also taught us life lessons that will be instilled in us for the rest of our lives!

9. We listened to songs by Destiny's Child and The Spice Girls instead of Lil Pump and Jake Paul...



Such girl bosses! We also knew Beyonce before she was all that...

10. Our fashion sense was OUT OF THIS WORLD

Color, color, and a little bit more color!


All in all, while I must say I am a tad bit biased, I think you can see why being a 90's kid truly rocks :)

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.
