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.

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.

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.
