13 Of The Worst Things That Could Possibly Happen To You In The 90s

By Tanya |

Growing up we had a lot of stuff going on. There were new technologies being thrown at us every day, a crazy new fashion styles that seemed to change every year, and we were all going through puberty.

That's a a lot for kids to handle! We were all being challenged mentally, emotionally and physically. The trials and tribulations we went through maybe weren't the most dramatic things ever compared to other generations, but they were ours and it's pretty hilarious to look back at what used to be our biggest problems.

1. Bottoms of your baggy pants getting soaked or ripped

2. Tags ripping off beanie babies

3. When you wanted to use the internet but your mom was on the phone

4. Having to buy a separate light to play your Game Boy at night

5. When a CD didn't have the lyrics in the sleeve

Virgin

6. Going to Blockbuster but they are out of the movie you wanted

7. When you had to call home but you didn't have a quarter

There are a lot more problems we dealt with back then that seem super trivial now...

8. Sometimes blowing in the Nintendo cartridge didn't work on the first try (even though it specifically said not to)

9. Running out of Dunkaroo icing before cookies

10. Having your tape unravel without having a pencil nearby

11. Your computer mouse wasn't working so you have to clean the ball

Imgur

12. The brand new anti-skip portable CD player you got lied

13. When you had to record a show but the VCR didn't start on time or you were out of blank tapes

Life was really different back then. Now our problems are much less hilarious and just depressing... But at least we can always look back and remember when our biggest issues involved our favorite cookies!

There are more problems where that came from. Check out this list of some of the other struggles we suffered through.

This One Teen's Tweet About Burning CDs Will Honestly Ruin Your Day

By Tanya
All of us who would consider ourselves to be 80s and 90s kids aren't really that old, right? We are still in the prime of our lives, and a lot of us still feel like we're just getting started on our path to being a "real grown-up." Maybe it's not the greatest that a lot of us still feel young, but times have changed since our parents were in their 30s. We've learned how to chill out and take our time in our lives. There's no rush, so let's all just relax and try to stay young longer.Here's the

Ikea Is Bringing Back The Couch Of Your Nightmares, And People Have A Lot To Say About It

By Tanya
Remember when you were growing up and you'd go hang out in the living room for hours and hours, never leaving your spot on the couch? Well, honestly I can't pretend much has changed, other than the fact that the couch has fewer flowers on it than ever before. Most people stick to a single color now, but back in the day there was apparently nothing more desirable than a good floral pattern. Big flowers, small flowers, pinks ones, or blue, every combination was waiting for you. We've all seen a lot of bad couches in our days, but when

There's Now Only One Blockbuster Left, But It Refuses To Give Up

By Tanya
We've all known for a while that Blockbuster was basically a lost cause. Most Blockbuster locations closed down many years ago, leaving behind their empty buildings that look like they house all the ghosts of the 90s. However there were a few places where Blockbuster Video refused to die. There were six locations remaining in Alaska, and one in Bend, Oregon, but this weekend marks a sad moment. All of the Alaskan Blockbusters have been officially closed. Four had actually been closed earlier in the year, but this weekend the final two locations closed their doors for good. But don't

Fashion Experts Are Trying To Trick Us Into Wearing Flared Jeans Again And We Aren't Having It

By Tanya
Listen, I know fashion is cyclical. I know that things are going to go in and out of style, but here's the thing, not everything should. Fashion is also highly subjective. We all have our own opinions, but when the fashion magazines start telling us "this is what is in style" we all second guess our choices. Now, these experts are telling us to dust off our old flared jeans and honestly, I don't understand why. I know that flared jeans were huge in the disco-era, and I know this because when they came back in the late 90s and

Lip Smacker's New Christmas Collection Brings Back Your 90s Favorites. All Of Them.

By Tanya
If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have

25 Bridesmaids Dresses That'll Actually Make You Glad The 80s Are Over

By Tanya
Listen, getting married in the 80s was kind of wild. Not only did you have to deal with the big hair, mullets, and mustaches, but the fashion was a whole other bag of worms. There was no way to predict how insane the dresses were going to look, but it was always safe to assume they would be pretty wild. Puffy sleeves, shiny fabric, and a lot of ruffles seemed to be the norm at the time. Let's not forget that return to the Victorian era that saw women trying to dress like an old-time princess. But, we brave the
