Nostalgia

Earlier today during study hall, my friend informed me that The Emperor's New Groove came out in 2000. That was so long ago! Yet it feels like just yesterday I was watching that in my family's animal-wallpapered toy room for me and my brother, sitting on an old futon that this kid I never particularly liked broke. That movie is hilarious and there is no movie like it. I think I can still quote most of it.

If you didn't realize this, I've been feeling quite nostalgic the last few days. I really miss the entertainment from my childhood (90's for the win!). All That, The Amanda Show, Monsters Inc., Cat-Dog, Hey Arnold, and The Lizzie McGuire Show are just a few of the gems I got to grow up alongside. I use to jam out to Maroon 5's Songs For Jane and, of course, Backstreet Boys and NYSNC (what girl didn't?).  While Maroon 5 has improved, the boy bands of today are no match for BB and NYSNC. Sorry Directioners.

Also being born in the 90s, I cannot remember a time when my family did not have a computer. My parents still don't understand technology that well, but my brother and I are both great with computers because they've always been there. My favorite games for the computer were Roller Coaster Tycoon, the Sims, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (which was really hard to beat!) We also had a beautiful Playstation 1, along with my favorite console of all time: the GameCube. I still play those systems pretty often.

Concerning books, I read a lot as a kid. I basically taught myself to read and my brother and I read all the time. Babysitter's Little Sister (never liked the original, not sure why), the American Girls books, Ramona, and of course, Harry Potter. Things were great during the 90s. What did you grow up with? What makes you nostalgic?

Time to go pretend to care about Consumer Economics. Later gaters.
