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!

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 :)

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
