14 Things Every 90s Kid Did On The Weekend

Weekends as a 90s kid were amazing.

There were no shows to binge-watch, no phones to sit on, no tweets to Twitter.

All you had to do was be a kid. Sure, you probably did the same thing every weekend, but that doesn't mean you didn't have the time of your life!

Here are some classic things we all did as 90s kids on the weekend. See if you remember any of them!

1. Head home right away to watch TGIF TV

Because if you didn't see that episode of Full House, you were going have to wait until the summer when they did repeats.

2. Sleeping so late your parents thought you were dead.

"Hey, hi, good morning! just making sure you're still alive and not smothered by your pillow!"

3. Saturday Morning Cartoons

Nothing beats waking up at 7am, shuffling into the TV room with your favorite blanket, eating some sugary cereal, and watching the best cartoons TV had to offer.

4. Eggo Waffles

If every square didn't contain 5 tablespoons of syrup, you weren't doing it right.

5. Staying in your pajamas all day.

The only time you changed was if you were going to the park. And even that was iffy.

6. Hanging Out With The Neighbors (or at least the ones with good gaming systems

If it takes all Saturday to beat rainbow road on 150cc, then so be it.

7. Staying outside until the street lights came on.

Imagine kids playing outside now? You'd know where there's wi-fi because kids would be sitting on top of each other to access it.

8. Having sleepovers with your best friends

Basically an excuse to eat crap food, gossip all night, and literally never sleep.

9. Staying up at night to watch Nick At Night

I am not ashamed to admit I had a huge crush on literally every boy on Happy Days.

10. Do a mass clean-out of your room.

"It'll stay clean for the entire WEEK this time!" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

11. Eat the good snacks

For some reason, parents didn't care about your snacks on the weekend. I guess sugar doesn't count on the weekends...noted.

12. Fighting with your siblings because no one else is around.

"I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO EAT THE LEFTOVER PIZZA FOR BREAKFAST AND YOU ATE IT ANYWAY."

13. Neighborhood-Wide games of Hide And Seek (or whatever else you felt like playing)

And if you were feeling particularly nasty, you'd tell the youngest kid to go hide and then never look for him.

14.  Waiting until the last minute to do homework.

Sunday night was always the worst...and yet we never learned our lesson.

What else do you remember about weekends as a kid? Let us know!

The True Story Behind "The Sound of Music" Is Even Better Than Whiskers On Kittens

When Julie Andrews brought the sound of music down from the mountains and into our hearts, she brought with it a love for the real-life von Trapp family, who the story was based on. The movie follows the autobiography of the real Maria von Trapp, who was a nun that became a part of an Austrian family before the Nazi occupation in World War II. The film accurately portrays a lot about their lives and demeanor, but in Maria's published memoirs (that the film was based on) it is easy to see how much becomes simple Hollywood figment. Here are

10 Foods From Our Childhood We're Surprised Haven't Been Banned By Now

Growing up, we were exposed to a lot of foods we probably shouldn't have been. We didn't necessarily have any of this "all natural organic free range sung to sleep by angels" food that people eat now. We ate what was given to us and didn't worry about the consequences. That being said, there were some pretty questionable foods from back then that are still eaten today, and we're not quite sure why. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these foods should go away, I'm just saying I'm surprised they haven't. 1. SPAMEaterAs a general rule of thumbs, I
