10 Songs That Take Me Back To My Childhood
Judah Pemble

In This Article:

Sometimes nothing can beat taking some time to unplug from the present and playback the past. Up next are 10 songs that belong on my childhood soundtrack.

1. "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors

Perhaps more than any other song, "Two Princes" captures '90s pop-rock at its best in my book.

2. "Float On" by Modest Mouse

The catchy rhythm of this "Modest Mouse" success was good enough to leave on repeat.

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

Listening to this '90s staple group was the only thing that got me through biology class.

4. "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia

All my fantasized emotional struggles as a kid usually started with this song.

5. "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne

My favorite childhood song definitely deserves a spot on this list.

6. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana

No rebellious, "nobody understands me" phase is complete without some '90s grunge.

7. "All Star" by Smash Mouth

Whether it was because of "Shrek" or the many parodies of the lyrics, everyone knew the tune of this alternative hit.

8. "This Love" by Maroon 5

Before "Overexposed," "V," and "Hands All Over," there was "Songs About Jane."

9. "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson

Watching Kelly Clarkson go from the screen on "American Idol" to the radio was something I'm happy to say I witnessed.

10. "Upside Down" by Jack Johnson

The sing along acoustic style of the "Curious George" movie soundtrack was a bus-ride favorite back in the day, with "Upside Down" topping the album.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
