Chances are if you’re reading this, you were a child of the ‘90s. Although the modern age is definitely exciting, there are things about life in the ‘90s we desperately wish we could bring back. Check out these 19 reason why your life in the ‘90s was significantly better than you life now.
1. You didn’t know what exams and final papers were.
You didn’t know how harsh life could get.
2. You could enjoy Sunday morning cartoons.
The Power Puff girls were your first squad.
3. Because you never had to cook your own meals.
Thank God kids can’t use stoves.
4. Your Tamagotchi was your only real responsibility.
If only this was still true.
5. You still had hopes of marrying someone in a Boy Band.
Too bad Justin Timberlake is no longer available.

The best movie of the century.

Since everyone thought you were too young for a boyfriend anyway.

You had to actually call your friend to make plans.

Thanks Mom!

13. Nirvana and the Spice Girls were still releasing new music.
Quality music.
14. It was before you realized how complicated your love life could get.
Boys are the worse.
15. Because Friends was just starting.
And that meant you had a decade of new seasons to watch.
16. Same with Sex and the City!
You would give anything to see your favorite ladies with fresh eyes.
17. Reality T.V. hadn’t taken over your life yet.
As much as you love the Kardashians, sometimes it’s too much.

We mean Furby.
The 90’s were definitely a great time to be a child! As much as we do miss the ‘90s, we don’t think we’d want to trade everything we have in the 2000s (hey, iPhones and Instagram) to relive the pre-social media days. But a little nostalgia never hurts.
