Memories

Who loves orange soda? Only millennials know the answer.

I'll take dino nuggets over Turkey any day!

What fun fruit rollup [meme] will they roll out next??

Watch out, the floor is lava!

Nostalgia works in interesting ways. Typically, we see media and culture going through the 20-year nostalgia cycle , where iconography and media from 20 years ago come back into style. We saw it in the 90s with shows like That 70s Show, and we saw it in the 70s with movies like Grease . We're even seeing it now with early 2000s fashion coming back for Gen Z. Nostalgia comes in different cycles, and it seems to be coming quicker than ever. I'm even starting to see nostalgia for 2012 popping up l…

Time flies as technology advances...

As a millennial born in the late 1980's, I had the pleasure of witnessing some major cultural shifts, the most prominent being the advent of the Internet. While my early childhood was internet-free, as I got older I was introduced to both the wonders and horrors of the world wide web. And at first, I had to use dial-up internet to enjoy them. The haunting sound of dial-up internet booting up (and the anticipation that came with it) is just one of the many joys kids these days will never underst…

Today is October 11th; the birthday of our favorite red-headed twins (sorry Fred and George) Hallie and Annie. They discovered they were twins through finding out they had the same birthday and connecting a picture of their mom and dad, but somehow not through looking at each other for 10 seconds. Lindsay Lohan is truly the queen of October. Mean Girls Day happened October 3rd and October 11th marks the birth of both of the characters she so masterfully played when she was just a pre-teen.

The first “90s kids” are the people who truly spent a bulk of their childhood in that decade; essentially, people born in the 80s. The other group of 90s kids are those born in the 1990s. I am just barely in that latter group of 90s kids, being born in the literal last year of the 1990s.

Spongebob is one of the most iconic cartoon characters of all time. He has served as the unofficial mascot for Nickelodeon for over two decades and has filled our lives with laughter for just as long. Spongebob SquarePants is one of those shows with humor that will hold up for generations. It's the perfect kind of kid's show that keeps the young ones entertained but with enough wit and humor to have fully grown adults in stitches. The episodes are endlessly rewatchable (at least up to Season 3)…

A truly confusing decade.
