Everyone who grew up in the 80's or 90's knows how awesome it was. Things were so much different for kids back then than they are today. It was the time for the best Disney Channel movies and you might even remember that classic pencil sharpener that made a lot of noise in class.

If you're having trouble remembering just how great it was, allow us to jog your memory a little bit. We have gathered a list of things that only 80's and 90's kids will remember, so take a seat, scroll down below, and prepare to get major flashbacks.  

1. Scented markers

2. The greatest lunchbox treat in the world

3. Classic pencil sharpener

4. Matching box and thermos

5. Those darn pencil erasers that everyone would lose

6. Square pizza just tasted different.

7. Here's to the BEST day in gym class that we ALL remember.

8. Lisa Frank... Everything!

9. Not only did you write on the board, you also got to clean the erasers.

10. You pretty much considered the most popular kid in school if you had the 64-count box of crayons WITH the sharpener, no less.

11. Scoot, scoot...

12. Having to carefully rip off the sides of the dot matrix paper.

13. Two words: Trapper Keeper

14. The most uncomfortable gym mats that felt like you were sitting on concrete. Have fun, kids!

15. Ah, the overhead projector and the pain of trying to write on the transparency without smudging the marker.

16. The ultimate treat and trade bait at lunch.

17. Bet I can beat you with these! Time me...let's go.

18. An ALMOST perfect container for your supplies that never really stayed shut.

19. Come on. We all did it. I know that I did.

20. Intended for math problems. Used as swords.

21. Markers with stamps. These were the BEST!

22. Writing dirty words on your calculator.

24. Oh how I remember these. Scholastic orders and that awesome day of going to the library to pick out your purchases.

25. Put on that badge of honor!

26. A good game of Heads down, thumbs up. Cheat and try to see the person's shoes as they walk by.

27. Push up pencils that worked until you lost a piece and were just screwed.

28. Read and get free Pizza Hut pizza? Sign me up!

29. I don't think there's one single person out there who didn't try to write with all the colors at once...and broke their pen while doing it.

30. Scratch-and-sniff stickers for when you were tired of smelling your markers.

31. The card catalog — the original Google search.

32. Heck, these are still pretty fabulous and I buy them all the time.

33. What use to be our version of text messages.

34. Slap bracelets. Jewelry that can also be used as a weapon.

I think we've all been guilty of that one before
