Most of today's college students began their school careers as Reagan began his presidency. G.I. Joe action figures, Strawberry Shortcake, Cabbage Patch ^ Kids, My Little Ponies and Transformers abounded in playgrounds everywhere in A the early '80s. As the '80s progressed, so did fashion. Jelly shoes and bracelets became popular, along with fluorescent colored clothes, pegged jeans and upturned collars. Not only was the dramatic look popular in clothing styles, it was also popular in hair fashions. Hair stopped being parted in the middle and feathered back and became crimped with four-inch-high bangs. We thought we were so cool. The '80s also produced many classic cartoons.
