A Playlist From The iPod Of A Middle Schooler In 2009

In middle school, music was my favorite thing to listen to, sing to, and to dance to. I felt it was my only creative outlet and took me out of the harsh world. I would only ask for iTunes gift cards on holidays so that I could purchase more and more music to my iPod, now everything is different and iTunes isn't the hotshot anymore and it makes you wonder where has the time gone? So, here are 25 songs that you definitely had playing on your iPod in 2009.

"Party in the U.S.A" - Miley Cyrus

You already know how popular this was, do I even need to explain.

"Fire Burning" - Sean Kingston

Classic.

"LoveGame" - Lady Gaga

I loved to sing this song when I was 8 years old. I clearly did not know the message.

"Boom Boom Pow" - The Black Eyed Peas

The Black Eyed Peas were huge and only getting bigger.

"Fireflies" - Owl City

I put this in there because everyone sang it, this was the only song you knew by them, and I did this for my third-grade class show.

"Her Diamonds" - Rob Thomas

"Good Girls Go Bad" - Cobra Starship

I'm sorry but I still bop to this song. And the Gossip Girl herself Leighton Meester singing is great, the music video is a must-watch.

"Right Round" - Flo Rida and Ke$ha

Also had no idea what the message was in this but I still sang it out loud in the backseat probably horrifying my parents.... sorry mom.

"Whatcha Say" - Jason Derulo

"Battlefield" - Jordin Sparks

I remember in detail singing this during a dodgeball match with my friend while kids probably cringed at us, but it's fine because it's Jordin Sparks.

"Empire State of Mind" - Jay-Z and Alicia Keys

"Love Story" - Taylor Swift

I listened to this song so much and thought it was so romantic. I would sing this to my imaginary boyfriend all the time.

"Hey, Soul Sister" - Train

This was on all the time. I loved it.

"Heartless" - Kanye West

The first song I actually learned to "rap" to. I always flexed on my friends singing every verse.

"Kiss Me thru the Phone" - Soulja Boy

"Soulja Boy Tell'em... BABY!" He gave out his own phone number in the song, how much better can you get?

"Halo" - Beyonce

Another song I sang to my imaginary boyfriend....

"You Found Me" - The Fray

"WHERE WERE YOU!" I sang this lyric with heart, acting like I was hurt by someone.

"Replay" - Iyaz

"21 Guns" - Green Day

Still a classic.

"Miss Independent" - Ne-Yo

I imagined I was "miss independent," no shame.

"Disturbia" - Rihanna

"Bum bum beedum bum bum beedumbum"

"Already Gone" - Kelly Clarkson

Another imaginary boyfriend song.... were we okay?

"Womanizer" - Britney Spears

Britney Spears is a national treasure.

"Whatever You Like" - T.I.

If only I was the waitress who got his number in this video, T.I. I'm still available.

"Dead and Gone" - Justin timberline and T.I.

Another song I sang like I was hurt when really my middle school crush didn't say hi to me that day. I'm still mad.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
