10 Things that Remind Me of the 90's

Over the past few months I've been feeling really low, probably the lowest I've felt in a very long time, for this or that reason. People say, Look forward. But for me that does not work – it does nothing more than stress me out as I constantly worry about falling off my chosen career path before I even step on it, being financially insecure and alone in the world. For me, it's looking back that works. Reminiscing with myself over my childhood. Although my parents were going through an on-off marriage which ended in divorce, I moved from school to school and I was constantly leaving people ... more

I was looking through the Café recently, when I spotted this section, and decided to write this review. The Nineties were the third decade of my life. So many things happened during the decade; the births of two of my children, the death of my Mum, which absolutely devastated me, and towards the end of the decade, I moved home to be near my Dad. MY BABY STARTING SCHOOL ************************************* Rob started school in 1992, and he seemed so grown up on his first day. He was the tallest in the class, and the teachers were all impressed that he could add, subtract and read and write on ... more

Well, to start this off I will give you some basic background. I was born in 1977 so the 90’s were a key decade for me. All of the life changing events were due to happen to me in this era, and you will be pleased to know that they did. Now I’m not going to give you my life story as that would necessitate about 5 reviews, what I will do however, for you, great people of Ciao, is pick 10 of my favourite or most memorable memories from this time in my life. ***MOVING HOUSE, SCHOOLS AND FRIENDS*** We moved house in January 1990, well actually this is probably only a half truth. What happened in ... more

I was 14 when the 1990s started and 24 when they finished so this decade was an important part of my life. Growing up, experiencing loads of different things and settling down I suppose is the easiest way to sum it up. ~ ~ ~ Leaving school ~ ~ ~ I went into my final year at school in September 1990 and it was great. All long-standing arguments with other members of the year group and all the bitchiness of the previous years appeared to evaporate that year as we all seemed to grow up and accept each other – quite an achievement for a large group of 15 and 16 year olds. Some of us knuckled down ... more

The 90s were the second full decade of my life, and that probably would make the decade the first one I could remember in its entirety – well in theory although given that half of it was spent boozing my way to a degree in modern languages, there are a few gaps… I entered the 1990s as a 12 year old and left it as a 22 year old (amazing huh!). If I wanted to recreate the experience there would be ten items I would not be able to omit… 1) A mobile phone the size of a brick, and as an utter luxury… When I see kids on the bus with the same mobile as I have (6310i) it makes me think back to the ... more
