16 Guilty Pleasure Songs We Hate To Love

We all have guilty pleasure songs. You know, the songs we secretly love but don't want to openly admit to. Or the songs we give a loud 'ugh' to every time we hear the opening note, yet end up belting out the lyrics as soon as they start playing. Many also just so happen to be featured in various movies. Yes, you know exactly what songs I'm talking about. If not, let me jog your memory a little.

1. "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton

Did the piano intro sound as soon as you read that title? Or Terry Crews belting out the song emotionally in White Chicks? It's a classic.

2. "Bye Bye Bye" by NSYNC

I feel like everyone and their mother knows this song. No literally, your mom is probably the reason you know this song. But it's so great... and a relevant meme for many occasions.

3. "Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney

... Unless it's Jesse McCartney's. Right?

4. "Wannabe" by Spice Girls

If you wanna be my lover, you have to know this song. Just don't get with my friends. Please.

5. "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol


What a one-hit wonder.

6. "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin

You remember this? That fabulous performance in Shrek 2? That Spanish song on mainstream radio before Pitbull?

7. "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield

These gifs are literally me with every guilty pleasure song of mine. Especially this song.

8. "Too Little Too Late" by JoJo

The ultimate breakup song pre "The Potential Breakup Song" by Aly & AJ.

9. "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen

This song is the definition of bubblegum bliss that you want to hate but can't help but love... or at least sing along.

10. "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction

This is the song that got them started, and even though it is incredibly cheesy, it's an incredible song to act out dramatically.

11. "Pieces of Me" by Ashlee Simpson

Well this one is quite the throwback to the early 2000s, when her and Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy's relationship was all the rage and Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray were on the J-14 magazine covers.


12. "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy


I guess I can't blame Shaggy for my problems.

13. "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys


Tell me why... we don't have boybands with coordinated dance moves still?

14. "Baby" by Justin Bieber


The song name is ironic. Look how young he was. Fun fact: This music video became the most viewed (over 1 Billion views) and 'disliked' video on Youtube, too.

15. "Barbie Girl" by Aqua

I really thought this song was a joke growing up; turns out it was really real.

16. "Oops!... I Did It Again" by Britney Spears

I played with your emotions, you got lost in these songs. Hopefully some of these songs are on your personal guilty pleasure list. If you feel like reminiscing, a Spotify playlist with these songs can be found here.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
