Remember your earlier years? Say fifth to ninth grade? Yeah, we all try to forget, but these ten songs will bring back so many memories of those times. You played them out then but when you give them a listen now, you'll be shocked that you still know every word including the secluded "yeah" or "oh" in the background.

1. "Low" - Flo Rida

This song was your song back in middle school and it's still your song. When it first comes on, you're like "Wow I haven't heard this song in awhi- Shawty had them apple bottom jeans." You're also equally as shocked as Flo Rida that her boots were with the fur.

2. "TiK ToK" - Ke$ha

You're still waking up feeling like P. Diddy tbh. You listen to it now, and you're like, "Present me, why did you let past me listen to music about 'everybody gettin' crunk'?" The popo needs to shut that down.

3. "Since U Been Gone" - Kelly Clarkson

When this song comes on, you're suddenly going through a 90210 level breakup, OK. Because thanks to them, now you get what you want.

4. "DONTTRUSTME" - 3Oh!3

Another song that you're like, "Honestly, why did my mother let me listen to this at age 12?" That line about being a vegetarian is just so witty though like... Come on.

5. "Party in the USA" - Miley Cyrus

Don't even front. Everybody loves this song. You are definitely noddin' your head like yeah. And the Pitch Perfect version? That just reignited the eternal flame in our hearts.

6. "Burnin' Up" - Jonas Brothers

OK, even if you hated the Jonas Brothers during their peak (because it was the cool thing to do, obviously), you love this song now. How could you not? It gives you that weird childhood nostalgia, even if you took pride in your boy band hatred back then.

7. "I Like It" - Enrique Iglesias featuring Pitbull

As soon as this comes on it's instantly spring break. You go from your bedroom to Miami Beach in like 2.5 seconds. One love, one love.

8. "Like a G6" - Far East Movement

Why was this song such a hit? Nobody will ever know. The beat just infects you. Did anyone even know what a G6 was before they Googled it when this song came out? Probably not. Everyone's poppin' bottles in the ice, though.

9. "Party Rock Anthem" - LMFAO

Party Rock. Remember when LMFAO was a thing? We all do. After they rocked the scene with "Sexy and I Know It," everyone was down AF for some more of these dudes. Never learned how to shuffle but whatever.

10. "Hollaback Girl" - Gwen Stefani

Ooooh, this my sh. This my sh. Classic. There's just no words to express the love we all have for this song. If you didn't know how to spell bananas, you do now.

Now you're gonna' go listen to all of these songs, lets be real.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
