The start of a new year is always exciting. One thing I'm most excited for is to see what new music will be released! This got me thinking about music I used to listen to. Here is a list of songs I, and perhaps you too, listened to when it was 2006.

1. "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira feat. Wyclef Jean

This song made you want to dance like no one was watching. Your goal was to move like Shakira, whether you had a dancing bone in your body or not. Bonus points if you memorized the Spanish parts!

2. "Move Along" by The All-American Rejects

"When all you got to keep is strong, Move along, move along like I know you do." How profound. This pop punk song spoke to many with its deep lyrics.

3. "How to Save a Life" by The Fray

If this song didn't make you cry, you're lying. This song was very emotional, and the fact that it was featured on "Grey's Anatomy" made it even more emotional. The lyrics were so heartfelt, how could you not cry?

4. "You and Me" by Lifehouse

Ultimate goal: have your crush serenade you with this romantic tune.

5. "Life Is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts

While the original version of this song did not come out in 2006, this version was still a huge hit. It became the most popular song featured on any road trip.

6. "Smack That" by Akon feat. Eminem

This song is another one that got people out of their seats. It was important that you knew all of the words so you could brag to your friends that you were basically a rapper.

7. "Ain't No Other Man" by Christina Aguilera

This song had soul and jazz with pop mixed in, and that combination is what made this song work so well. Plus, Christina Aguilera's voice is gorgeous.

8. "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol

Most iconic line: "If I lay here/If I just lay here/Would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

9. "SOS" by Rihanna

Rihanna was just starting to become popular, and "SOS" was a huge hit for her. It got everyone dancing and singing, for sure!

10. "Teardrops On My Guitar" by Taylor Swift

This song spoke to anyone who had a crush on someone and their crush didn't like them back. The lyrics perfectly summed up what that feeling felt like.

11. "SexyBack" by Justin Timberlake feat. Timbaland

JT definitely brought sexy back with this song. That is all.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
