Issue 4: When Ninja Turtles ruled the world!

Bible College News Retro

A Look at the past from the editor of Bible College News

For those who were raised in the 1990s

I sometimes think about the "good 'ole days". No, not the days of freshmen year when I would just call up 'the guys' and go to Wal-Mart, or be in the car with Jill M. when she made her first U-TURN (wow, God's grace is amazing). And no, I am not referring to the days when David and Matt were both single, although they were for a long time. I'm talking about the days:

Before the Internet or Text messaging...

Before Sidekicks & Ipods

Before Playstation2 or X-BOX

Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...

When you rented VHS taps.. not DVDs

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing...

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie...

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our WALKMANS!!!

Now go back to this time in your life... remember it?

Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer

Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or spokes

Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school

Class Field Trips

When Christmas time was the most EXCITING time of the year!

When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.

When getting high was swinging on the swingset

When $5 seemed like a million, and another dollar a Miracle.

When you begged to go to McDonalds, for dinner...EVERYDAY.

When Toys r Us overuled the "mall"

Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"

"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"

It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.

Being old, referred to anyone over 20.

The chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery....

The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.

When someone made u mad u would tell them you were going to sue them.

Nobody was prettier than Mom.

A time when...

Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better...

It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the fair...

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.

When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.

When ninja turtles ruled the world.
