Fancy That Friday; Nostalgia


I got to come here when I was 10-years-old! Best trip ever.


Rocko's Modern Life nails! All kinds of awesome.


I loooved Goosebumps as a kid. I read them all!


If you don't know these two, you missed out! It's still one of my favorite movies.


This desk embodies the majority of my childhood!


In west Philadelphia, born and raised...


So true haha!


I love this Boy Meets World reference!


Oh my gosh, so nineties!!

I apoligize to any readers who have no idea what any of these references are. Now that I only have one more year of college left, I've been feeling super old haha. Not old in the sense that "oh my gosh is that a wrinkle??" but more like, "wow I'll be entering the real world soon."

The real world to me means no more naps whenever I feel like it, no more 4-month-long summer vacations, no more staying up super late on weeknights, getting a full-time job, etc. It's incredibly frightening to be honest! I know I'll be able to adapt, of course, but just remebering bits and pieces from my childhood like the above pictures gives me a peace of mind. :)

Best EVER! Oh my goodness, I love being a 90's child; especially one that had older siblings that got me out of the Blue's Clues phase fast and more into the Rocket Power and Hey Arnold phase. (My brother still calls me Lars to this day because of Rocket Power).

I also had those Rugrats watches. I read all of the Goosebumps books AND all the Fear Street books. And now, as an adult, I do watch RL Stine's new show on ABC Family called The Haunting Hour. ABC Family also plays the old Goosebumps episodes too.

I loved everything about this post! If it wasn't socially unacceptable to read goosebumps books as an adult, I would still be reading them! I don't even know where my collection is now. Maybe I should find them and be a rebel! xx Melanie

Lauren said...

You've literally just posted everything I've been missing lately about my childhood. I have one year of college left to and it's left me extremely nostalgic for the care-free days as a kid. Best thing is when I'm feeling REALLY nostalgic I watch some Rugrats and Hey Arnold on netflix(;

Sarah said...

I'm having those same feelings because I graduate in June... qualms aside, this post made me smile. I haven't thought about these things in a while (I HAD THOSE WATCHES, TOO) but it was a super fun blast from the past. (:

sometimes i realize when i am reading blogs, that the girl is graduating or still in high school. then i realize i graduated high school 6 years ago and start to really feel my age! but i get all these references - they are the best

I remember Aaron Carter looking a lot older than that... I guess 9 years makes a big difference. =P
