You Grew Up In The 60's If...

The 80s were the “Me” decade. A time before the internet, but after Watergate, when the country was looking forward to what the future would bring. You looked up to people like Ferris Bueller on how to get through school, and you were obsessed with your cabbage patch dolls. These were the years in which you imagined what your life was going to be like. If you grew up in the 80s, you’ll remember these icons.
