I know I know, 90s music is definitely not what's close to "popular" music anymore, but you should listen to it anyways! I've been on a binge lately of nostalgic music and have fallen back in love with all this music I somehow forgot about. Grunge/rock music is such a good vibe for any time and any mood and reminds a lot of us of our wild middle school years. I can honestly say I've been in such a vibrant mood lately because of these flashback tunes. So I decided I wanted to share my top picks so that you can go on a nostalgic binge, too.

1. "Don't Speak" by No Doubt

I "know just what you're saying" — that it's a bomb song and you can't believe you forgot about it.

2. "Basket Case" by Green Day

Remember guyliner? Green Day wore it well.

3. "Lithium" by Nirvana

This song is underrated in my humble opinion. I know "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the crowd favorite, but you might recognize this one, too (and love it).

4. "Otherside" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

It'll make you wanna be back in the old days AND wanna learn how to play the guitar.

5. "Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana

Hey! Wait! You gotta listen to this again for sure. Hella grunge.

6. "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind

How everyone (including me) forgot about this band for a while, I don't know. It's truly timeless.

7. "Under The Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Yes, more Red Hot Chili Peppers — this is the one I've been playing on repeat and singing lyrics from day and night. Love you, RHCP.

8. "What's My Age" Again? by Blink-182

Strap on your glove and nurse outfit (referencing the album cover, for those who forgot about that).

9. "Buddy Holly" by Weezer

PSA: Weezer is one of the most underrated bands of all time, and you gotta listen to their newer music, too.

10. "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M.

This song is trying to keep up with you and doesn't know if it can do it...

11. "Santeria" by Sublime

He ain't got no crystal ball, but if he did it would show you bingeing 90s music tonight.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

To The Girl In The Back Row

I just want you to know you are loved. You are loved so very much.

To The Girl In The Back Row

Recently I was blessed to be a counselor at a wonderful camp, secluded in a cornfield somewhere in Virginia. I consider myself to be a seasoned camp counselor, as I have not only been a camper for most of my life but have been privileged enough to work multiple camps with all kinds of different facilities. I have worked camps with multi-thousand dollar facilities, with zip lines, rock walls, ropes courses, and boats. I have worked at camps with amazing water sports, camps with paintball, camps with canoes and paddle boats and floating blobs or trampolines in the middle of the water. I have worked at camps with in ground pools and camps without any pools, and even some camps with go-karts. I've had problem kids, kids who refuse to listen to anything I say, kids who sneak out after lights out to meet a significant other, and kids who are every camp counselors dream.

The United Nations (UN) has been in existence since June of 1945. Since then, the world has come together to work on and solve some of the harshest problems that face the Human Race. Be it children in societal ills like Human Trafficking, natural issues like Deforestation, or issues of extreme poverty, the UN has worked together in an attempt to make it a better place for us all. It's the only organization in the history of the world to bring people together in a willing, peaceful way; a feat that not even the League of Nations could do in the Post- WWI era. Why was it that one organization failed, and the other one is still going strong, 72 years later?
