The toys and gadgets were simpler, and the TV shows and movies were never in 3D. One thing is sure, the 1990s rocked.
In the ’90s you watched VHS tapes, you predicted your future by playing MASH, and you had the original Walkman and almost all the beanie babies. Your school supplies were Lisa Frank and you wore slap bracelets. Gas was only $1.20 a gallon and light-up sneakers were cool. Before you had Xbox, you played PlayStation. You watched Full House, Kenan & Kel, Johnny Bravo, Hey Arnold and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, just to name a few.
“The ’90s was by far the best decade,” junior Rachel Lee said. “The ’90s were full of multiculturalism and alternative media. The technology we know today was introduced in the ’90s.” Lee remembers playing with her brother’s Nintendo 64 and her Skip-It when she was bored. The ’90s also introduced Super Soakers, Moon Shoes, Silly Putty and Game Boy Color as popular toys.
“I miss the ’90s and it was some of my best years. In the ’90s things were better; the TV shows I grew up watching were funnier and the toys I had were awesome. One of my favorite movies from the ’90s is Forrest Gump,” Karli Kalinski said.
Freshmen, being the last of the ’90s kids, are being taught by teachers who were also born in the ’90s. “I like being taught by teachers who are young because I feel like they understand us more. They can relate to us better because we grew up in the same decade,” freshman Sean Darbie said.
Today’s freshmen are the last of the greatest generation known to mankind. The ’90s may have been a simpler time, but it was so much better. Freshman, good luck.
