If you're like me, then you're in the part of the semester where you'd rather do anything than homework or study.
Growing up primarily in the 2000s, I know some insanely good music. At the time I learned it, I was a little kid so I couldn't relate to the content but loved the vibe. So I thought it would be fun to reminisce on some phenomenal music that I can definitely relate to now.
Without further ado, here are college thoughts as told by the 2000's top music.
1. We The Kings- All Again For You
"I couldn't sleep last night,
I walked alone,
On the beach where we always used to go,
When we couldn't hook up at home"
2. Miley Cyrus- Breakout
"Every week's the same,
Stuck in school's so lame,
My parents say that I'm lazy,
Waking up at 8 AM is crazy
3. Zetta Bytes- Notice Me
"If I cut my hair If I change my clothes,
Will you notice me.
If I bite my lips If I say hello,
Will you notice me"
4. Green Day- Boulevard of Broken Dreams
"I walk a lonely road,
The only one that I have ever known,
Don't know where it goes,
But it's home to me and I walk alone"
5. Jonas Brothers- I Am What I Am
"I am what I am,
And nobody else,
And if you've got a problem,
Better take it somewhere else"
6. Daft Punk- Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
"Work it harder, Make it better
Do it faster, Makes us stronger
More than ever, Hour after hour
Work is never over
7. David Cook- The Time of My Life
"To be more than a name,
Or a face in the crowd,
You know this is the time,
This is the time of my life"
8. Blink 182- First Date
"When you smile I melt inside,
I'm not worthy of a minute of your time,
I really wish it was only me and you,
I'm jealous of everybody in the room"
9. Adam Lambert- Whatdya Want From Me
"Just don't give up,
I'm working it out,
Please don't give in,
I won't let you down"
10. Simple Plan- Perfect
"Hey Dad look at me,
Think back and talk to me,
Did I grow up according to the plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing thing I wanna do?"
11. Hillary Duff- Wake Up
"There's people talking,
They talk about me,
They know my name,
They think they know everything"
12. Asher Roth- I Love College
"I wanna go to college for the rest of my life,
Sip Bankers Club and drink Miller Lite,
On Thirsty Thursday and Tuesday Night Ice,
And I can get pizza a dollar a slice"
*Honorable Mentions*
These didn't quite make the cut but are totally worth reminiscing over.
- American Idiot by Green Day
- Self Esteem by The Offspring (Actually a '90s song)
- Basket Case by Green Day
- Pretty Fly by The Offspring
I love my good 'ol 2000's playlists and thoroughly enjoyed making this list. If I can give you any take-aways from this experience, it's that you should go listen to some Green Day because it's probably more relevant than you remember.
