The Best "I Forgot These Pop Songs Existed" Playlist

Let's all take a trip down memory lane

The Best "I Forgot These Pop Songs Existed" Playlist

Let's be honest: we all miss the pop music of 2007-2013. Everything was techno, autotuned, and sung by our favorite Disney Channel stars. None of this Chainsmokers, indie-electronic-pop-every-genre-of-music-merged-together-to-appeal-to-all-and-none-at-the-same-time. No, the late '00s and the early '10s were the glorious years where Britney didn't sing duets, Justin hadn't gone through puberty, and One Direction was still together. We don't always think of these songs on a daily basis, but when they come on, we recall the days when they were our daily jams. This mix consists of songs that are representative of so many other classics that have fallen by the wayside in this day and age. Let's take a moment together and remember.

You Make Me Feel... - Cobra Starship

This was a jam before, and re-listening to it right now, still is. QTNA: why did we stop listening?

American Boy (feat. Kanye West)- Estelle

Honestly, I never forgot this song. I went to London last year and, as evident by my friend's comment, made it a POINT to use Kanye's lyric as a caption. (Also was that John Legend in the music video around 1:46? Let me know.)

Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis

All I can say is bring this song back. Can we go back to intentionally butchering the end whenever we sing along?

Toxic - Britney Spears

I took Zumba for gym in high school (another story), and created a Zumba dance to this song. I truly think, now re-listening, that we should do everything to this song.

I Want - One Direction

The most underrated One Direction song ever. Someone had to recognize that and I will gladly shoulder the burden.

Fireflies - Owl City

GOOD LUCK GETTING THIS SONG OUT OF YOUR HEAD FOR THE NEXT WEEK!!!

Disturba - Rihanna

I think this was the first time anyone in my generation truly experienced a banger, a bop. Comparable only to "Telephone" with Lady Gaga and Beyoncé (which was a gift to us all).

DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love (feat. Pitbull) - Usher

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but remember when Usher was relevant? Glory days.

7 Things - Miley Cyrus

The 3 second opening to the song in the music video is enough to take you back to your pre-teen years. I can't be the only one who wanted to be a crying girl in this music video.

Overboard - Justin Bieber

I 100% made the conscious decision to put the version with Miley in here for two reasons:

1. It's iconic. Miley's hair? Goals. Justin's purple pieces? Memory lane. The split second where Justin, then 5 years old and maybe 3 feet tall, grabs Miley's waist and you're like, "Love? Romance?" You know that one second wrecked your heart for weeks.

2. I really think we need to remind ourselves that Never Say Never: The Movie, a cinematic masterpiece, is more important than any music video on this list.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
