While everyone has grown up with different childhood experiences, there are a few everyone has in common. We all had those “You just don’t understand me” days filled with staring out the bus window pretending to be in a music video. Bonus points if it was raining.

Here are a few songs you were probably listening to in your middle school days. If you’re like me, you might still have these songs on your Spotify. The teen angst may be mostly gone, but never forgotten as you shout every single lyric.

1. “Mr. Brightside” The Killers

I’d have to say this is my favorite. I sang along to this and felt a pain I never knew existed as he had a smoke and she took a drag.

2. “Be My Escape” Relient K

Because pre-teens/teenagers house allllll the doubt and insecurity.

3. “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” Nine Days

This 2000 hit was always on the radio. It ended up being in the Top Ten of most of the charts it was on.

4. “All the Small Things” Blink-182

For a while, I didn’t know the lyrics. So, I’d chime in from the backseat with “ALL. THE. SMALL. THINGS.” And then “nananananananananana” when it was time.

5. “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” Good Charlotte

The hairstyles from the 2002 music video were fire.

6. “The Reason” Hoobastank

The 2003 hit played on radios everywhere and was up for the Grammy award for Song of the Year.

7. “Teenagers” My Chemical Romance

Their breakup still breaks my heart to this day.

8. “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down” Fall Out Boy

I nailed this song on Expert Level of Guitar Hero. Just sayin'.

9. “In The End” Linkin Park

Linkin Park stirred emotion in every teen with their dramatism and spoken word with this one.

10. “Best of You” Foo Fighters


I still hear this quite often on the radio, and I’m definitely not complaining. Dave Grohl’s tone is kind of the best, the best, the best, the best.

11. “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” Panic! At the Disco

*when people leave my door open* “Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door? No.”

12. “The Great Escape” Boys Like Girls

The 2006 song is coming up on its tenth anniversary, but it still sounds fresh to me every time I hear it.

13. “Welcome to My Life” Simple Plan

A classic for the bangs-in-face, “life sucks” kind of kid.

14. “The Anthem” Good Charlotte

The Good Charlotte hit went straight to the US Billboard Top 40.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
