Middle school was such a great time to be alive. We had Tamagotchis, sleepovers, crocs, nachos for lunch, acne, easy homework, trampolines, Gameboys, flip phones, and middle parts, but best of all, we had middle school dances. Do you remember dancing to Akon with your gauchos, braces, and Air Forces on? Me too, and it was the best. Those songs we danced to have a very special place in my heart. Here is a list of just a few of those songs to help refresh your memory (Disclaimer: I graduated middle school in 2010 to give you an idea of the time period)...

1. Lipgloss - Lil Mama

49. The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls

50. Hey Ya - Outkast

Of course, there are many other hits from the 2000s that we jammed to when we were "like 12" but, these are some of the best (and no one has time to read over 50 songs anyway). So listen to these in the shower, in the car, while you're walking your dog (or cat if you're a weirdo), in "da club," or wherever you feel like it. We all need a little Akon or Avril in our lives once in awhile.

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.
