Happy New Year! We're going back to the most notorious new year of millennials' lives (so far, at least) to relive the excitement of the new millennium and the anxiety about the "Y2K bug". Jenna talks about her memories of conversations about the potential consequences of the Y2K computer problem, what it was, and how it was eventually fixed before the clocks struck midnight on 12/31/99. She also reminisces on how she spent that memorable NYE and some of her favorite Y2K pop culture moments.
