10 Throwback Jams You Forgot Existed, But Will Instantly Ear-Worm Back Into Your Brain
Interscope Records

Who let 6ix9ine and Lil Baby take over our radios and where did the real music go? Regardless of what you're listening to now, it's undeniably so that music in the 2000s/early 2010s was poppin'. But I think sometimes we focus too much on old party songs and forget the other bops that were around. 3OH!3, Jesse McCartney, The Black Eyed Peas, and so many others gave us a plethora of tunes that we neglect to remember a decade later.

Here are 10 songs from yesteryear that you maybe wouldn't hear on your average throwback playlist.

1. "Impossible" by Shontelle

I can't be the only one who belted this on low-quality YouTube karaoke. I lived for the drama in this song and could've very easily been found humming this passionately in my fifth-grade lunch line.

2. "Carry On" by fun.

My ability to move on from my middle school drama is owed to this song.

3. "Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas

Busting out Fergie's solo in this was like a religious experience.

4. "Feel So Close" by Calvin Harris

This song may have been a bit overplayed on the radio, but man oh man, it was a bop.

5. "Gives You Hell" by All-American Rejects

Nothing like the dirty looks your mom would shoot you while this played in the car.

6. "Don't Trust Me" by 3OH!3

SHUSH, GIRL, SHUT YA LIPS. DO THE HELEN KELLER AND TALK WITH YOUR HIPS.

7. "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks

This song had my 9-year-old self armoring up for a boyfriend I had yet to find.

8. "She Wolf" by Shakira

Not one of Shakira's bigger hits, but definitely worth mentioning.

9. "If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears

Perhaps I didn't understand the real meaning of this song when it was playing on the radio, but that sure didn't stop me from belting it in the shower.

10. "How Do You Sleep" by Jesse McCartney ft. Ludacris

No comments needed. A CLASSIC.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
