College Thoughts As Told By 2000's Music

Wow all of this music is way more relevant than I thought it would be 15 years later.

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
