Exactly one month from this weekend I will be graduating from college and -- between you and me -- I am definitely nervous. I mean, when did this happen? I feel like just yesterday I was a little kid dancing around my grandma's house blasting Britney Spears and arguing who the lead in singer in Dream Street was. So instead of worrying about what the future has to hold, let's take a step back, pull out our old "NOW" CDs and remember the good old days with this ultimate #tbt to our favorite childhood singers/bands.
1. Britney Spears
Prior to her little rough patch in 2007, Britney Spears was an icon to '90s girls with hits like "Hit Me Baby One More Time" on her "Oops!... I Did It Again" CD. Personally, I always hoped her music video would take place on an ocean with some cute sailors, but you do you, Britney.
2. Destiny's Child
Yes, Beyonce was once a part of a trio consisting of herself, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. See, boys? We're suspicious for a reason.
3. Dream Street
Sorry, One Direction! Step aside, because Dream Street will always have a place in our hearts. Swoon. Too bad their parents got involved following a legal dispute -- the band broke up in 2002. Comeback tour, please?
4. *NSYNC
Even though Justin Timberlake's hair looked like a bowl of ramen, *NSYNC was always an obvious favorite. Between their upbeat and dance-worthy music, there's no question this boy band still has a piece of our hearts (and iTunes playlists). But here's the real question, Team *NSYNC or Team Backstreet Boys?
5. Backstreet Boys
For those of you whose cup of tea wasn't *NSYNC, perhaps you preferred the musical selections of the Backstreet Boys. I personally was a fan of both, but regardless of your boy band preference, you have to agree, this music video is weird.
6. Aaron Carter
Who didn't want to attend Aaron Carter's infamous party? In my opinion, though, Carter looks a little too young to be at his own party, but kudos to you kid. I hope Candy had fun.
7. Hilary Duff
The star of "Lizzie McGuire" and idol of many '90s girls (and personally my favorite), is thankfully making a comeback in the music industry. Now all we have to do is convince Disney Channel to do a reunion show. Whether or not that happens, we still love Hilary Duff.
8. S Club 7
Confused, and don't remember who they even are? Watch the music video. It will all come flooding back and you will be belting out to a song you probably haven't heard since you were 10.
9. Aly & AJ
Need an angsty break-up song before you even had a boyfriend to forget your birthday? Yeah, we all did.
10. Christina Aguilera
One thing you can't argue is that she has a tremendous voice. Aguilera won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1999. She is now a judge on the "The Voice."
11. Avril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne brought out every '90s girl's inner rocker sk8r chick. Don't lie, I know you have a pink tie somewhere in the back of your closet. Mine was attached to a sweater, which I thankfully left in grade school.
12. Kelly Clarkson
The first "American Idol" winner took America by storm with powerful vocals and fierce personality. Today, she is still very active in the music industry and performed at one of "American Idol's" final episodes. I dare you not to cry.
