40 Songs You Probably Forgot About From Middle School

I know how it goes, once you get into high school and college you try to repress all of the songs you played in middle school. They were probably played in the car with your friends and your parents (obviously the censored version), at those dreaded and awkward school dances, and most definitely at sleepovers (ok, maybe you can get away with the explicit version here). But, I would bet a large sum of money that you still know EVERY SINGLE WORD to most of these songs (you probably made some sort of dance to some of these as well) and it is time to bring them back into action. Here are 40 songs that you probably forgot about or forced yourself to forget about.

1. Baby- Justin Bieber

2. Best I Ever Had- Drake

3. Bulletproof- La Roux

4. Caraphernelia- Pierce the Veil

5. Cudi Zone- Kid Cudi

6. Daylight- Matt and Kim

7. Empire State of Mind- Jay Z

8. Fancy- Drake

9. Happiness- Dance Gavin Dance

10. Holding On To You- twenty one pilots

11. I'll Be- Edwin McCain

12. If It Means A Lot To You- A Day To Remember

13. If You Can't Hang- Sleeping With Sirens

14. Iris- The Goo Goo Dolls

15. Jumper- Third Eye Blind

16. Kids- MGMT

17. Look After You- The Fray

18. Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off- Panic! At The Disco

19. Misery Business- Paramore

20. New Perspective- Panic! At The Disco

21. No Worries- Lil Wayne

22. Recovery- Frank Turner

23. Ride wit Me- Nelly

24. Savior- Rise Against

25. Say Aah- Trey Songz

26. Say My Name- Destiny's Child

27. The Scientist- Coldplay

28. Seventy Times 7- Brand New

29. Show Me What I'm Looking For- Carolina Liar

30. Sleep Alone- Two Door Cinema Club

31. Stay- Mayday Parade (or anything by Mayday Parade let's be honest)

32. Sugar, We're Goin Down- Fall Out Boy

33. Take Care- Drake

34. That's What You Get- Paramore

35. Thrift Shop- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

36. Time to Dance- Panic! At The Disco

37. Time to Pretend- MGMT

38. Trouble- NeverShoutNever (did you think I would forget?)

39. We Made You- Eminem

40. Yeah!- Usher

Now go and make a playlist of all of these and go have a little jam-sesh. No judgements here. Just go and relive the greatest (and probably worst) days of your life.

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.
